# Repo Hygiene

So you got a project started and wasted some time writing documentation. Great!

Now, let's move on to "actually building software that does something" and "everything else other than running a generator and writing useless documentation".

## But first, wtf is @repo?

Let's change all the auto-generated `@repo` references to `@lifetracker`. To do this, I am about to use VSCode's Find and Replace feature.

Yeah, I know, mind blowing stuff so far.

But, keep in mind, I have Typescript server running and I'm able to load `localhost:3000` and `localhost:3001` without errors. Will everything break as soon as I make these changes?

:::info

Yes, everything worked fine as soon as I made the ~31 edits, ran `pnpm install`, restarted the Typescript server, and re-ran `pnpm dev`.

## Another side-quest: Git Repository

There's really no reason to document this. I already had a local a git repo initialized (can't remember if this happens by default in my `init-nix` script, or if I ran `git init`, you're on your own); I created a cloud copy on `git.ryanpandya.com` and synced all this crap with it.

:::note

Make sure you de-select "Initialize repository" so that the first commit from VSCode actually goes through instead of causing a mountain of sync conflicts and merge headaches.
