​
Real-World Example

Here’s how Chapi transforms a typical project creation workflow: 
# Traditional approach (manual, error-prone)
git clone https://gitlab.com/net-core2/api-base.git MyNewProject
cd MyNewProject
rm -rf .git
find . -type f -exec sed -i 's/api-base/MyNewProject/g' {} +
# ...manually rename 50+ files and folders
git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/myorg/MyNewProject.git
With Chapi: Just enter your project name, select the template, and click Create. Chapi handles all the renaming, Git setup, and repository association automatically.
