Rename Script

Since this is a template repo, I wanted to make renaming the project straightforward. Under the menu option Tools/Rename Template Assets is a script that will rename all the asset files in the project based on a set of user settings as well as re-generate all the GUIDs for unity assets to avoid asset collisions in the future.

Example Usage

The rename panel is allows for renaming assets in the project from the template names to names for another project.

The panel currently supports four rename patterns:

1. Company Name - Applied to file names and text within files.
2. Project Name - Applied to file names and text within files.
3. Company Website - Applied to text within files only
4. Project GitHub Username - Applied to text within files only.

In the rename panel, each of the options has three main attributes:

1. The current value for that field.
2. The value to replace with (default is no change)
3. Option to replace text in files. This is checked by default and will be replaced in all files. If this is not checked, it will not replace this text in existing files.

In addition, the final checkbox, Regenerate Asset GUIDs will re-generate all asset GUIDs for the project to avoid collisions with other projects. I recommend enabling this option unless you need to keep the GUIDs the same for some reason.

Once you are ready, hit the Rename Assets button and the program will apply the renaming to all the assets in the project.

If you are curious how the renaming works, look at the Assets\Editor\RenameAssets.cs file in the project for further details and source code.
