Rename project to be LinuxCNC/Machinekit agnostic #91

Open zultron opened 3 years ago

zultron commented 3 years ago

We're working on building .deb packages for the Machinekit project's APT package repos.

This might be a big ask, but can this project be renamed to e.g. hal-ethercat so it's clear that it's not only for LinuxCNC?

GitHub is pretty smart: When you rename a repository, links to the old repo name get redirected to the renamed repo. In this case, https://github.com/sittner/linuxcnc-ethercat would redirect to https://github.com/sittner/hal-ethercat in a web browser, and git remotes with the old URL (both https and ssh) will continue to work.
