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

What have you tried? What where the results?
When the solution and project has same name it makes problems when trying to upload the project to GitHub.
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???

The solution folder and the ShopWebSite1 folder are in the same name

- Right click the project and select "Remove".
- Close Visual Studio.
- Open the folder that contains the web Site project.
- Rename the Folder.
- Open Visual Studio and the solution.
- Right click the solution file and select "Add Existing Web Site"
- Navigate to the newly renamed folder and click OK.

2021-09-12T08:58:25.137+00:00 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.
