I want to change the name of my project because it has the same name as the solution main project.
I tried in many way but didn't find how to change the name.
The project name project is ShopWebSite1
When the solution and project has same name it makes problems when trying to upload the project to GitHub.
Thanks in advance

It should be just enought to right click the project and select RENAME. Why does this not work? Do you get any error?

What have you tried? What where the results?

What is the problem or error message? Explain the steps that you use to upload a project to GitHub.
Renaming a project is very simple in Visual Studio. Just right click and rename or slow double click. Perhaps you need to change the project folder name???
As you can see there is no rename at all
The solution folder and the ShopWebSite1 folder are in the same name
Okay, so you really want to change the folder name of a Web Site.

I tried it before i saw your answer, it didn't work. I don't know where they store the name of the website. They also don't allow website and solution to be the same name.
I needed to copy the website folder to another path, rename it, then open it from vs so it creates a new solution.

what issue did you run into with GitHub?
I often upload solutions where the solution file and project file have the same same. they have different extensions, so there is no issue.
The issue is that it will upload all the the folders and files except for the folder with the same name of the repository.
I have more issues with creating a repository, if you could help also.
About my question AgaveJoe solved it.
Thanks
Delete the solution file and rename the website folder, then open website from vs.
