Description

I stumbled across this awesome tool while reading hackernews and then a few months later tried to find it took me ages! I had to go through heaps of combinations of search terms before i stumbled across it again. Even now that I have found it, when I searched for it by name git-repo it still doesn't show in google.

Have you thought about changing the name? it would be great if more people could find this!

Research direction
Review the 20 comments for suggested new names and any points about discoverability. Check if the maintainer has indicated a preferred direction. Propose a few candidate names that are unique and easily searchable, considering that the tool is a Python CLI for managing git services. Also consider any technical implications of renaming, such as updating package names and documentation.
