Migrate existing orbs to use `orb-starter-kit` #42

Closed tangrufus closed 3 years ago

tangrufus commented 4 years ago

Tried to an existing orbs to use orb-starter-kit. ./orb-init.sh fails because of orb name already exist.

Use case: Separate monorepo into their own respective repositories.

Foreseeable difficulties:

handle exist orb names
make the new git repo aware of old releases

Questions: Any workround to migrate existing orbs to use orb-starter-kit?

If using new orb name is the recommanded way, any way to rename an existing circleci orb?

The orb starter kit is being replaced with https://github.com/CircleCI-Public/Orb-Project-Template and the orb init command in the CircleCI CLI - docs are coming soon. It should be easier to examine the project template and bring in pieces from the configuration present there.
