recently I've made an important decision to update the GitHub username of my current profile. The details of this decision will explain in later paragraphs and now I want to focus on you, the recipients of this repository.
The important information for you is the implication of changing the base username of my profile may possibly affect also this repository. i.e.: the existing references/URLs of this repository outside may change. Possibly some inconvenience of this action will arise and affect you, I would like to apologize for any inconvenience of this matter in advance, as you, the community of this small repository is very important to me and essential diver to maintaining it further.
There were a couple of reasons why I decided to change the base username of my GitHub profile.
I currently live in Germany, and the primary reason for the change is the negative connotation and meaning of my old nickname "egel" (which, by the way, I invented in my youth as a short, catchy, and easy-to-remember nickname) which literally means "leech" in German - egel. Indirectly, however, it may cause prejudice in the local community against my person through a linguistic meaning that I was not aware of in the past, and which I would like to avoid.
Another reason is to show me as a person, not a subject or hidden personality behind a kind of nickname straight from the movies. I would like what I create to be associated with me and represent the highest quality, which is the kind of quality I want to deliver to the community via my work.
I hope the changes will be understood and accepted even though they may cause some inconvenience. I will perform all efforts in order to make this transition as painless as possible.
