I got it, what I can do to resolve this issue?
from got.
There are (at least?) three ways to go about it:
- Rename your project.
- Rename the executable, either within the repository itself or at install time.
- Leave the naming clash unresolved and let downstream (i.e. *BSDs' and Linux ports/package maintainers) deal with it.
The first option seems the best but I can understand reluctance to do so. The seconds one seems like a compromise. The last seems like the worst option, IMHO.
BTW, I'm not part of either project - I merely use the other Got and only just noticed this one linked in a mailing list post - so am only letting you know of the other's existence. What you do with the information is up to you :^)

I will rename it only when I have better name than Got. any suggestions?

Hi Melbahja,
I came up with a few suggestions:
- wgot (not very imaginative but instantly people will know what your program does, more likely to come up in search results, thus get more users)
- gogot (pronounced like 'robot'; like the current name its written in past tense so implies that it downloads fast, ie gogot already got it)
- chunkygot or chunkyget (cutesy name, since it uses chunked encoding).
I use Got all the time to download podcasts, thanks for writing it!
PS I think it was me who accidentally opened this can of worms when I posted a link to this project on an openbsd mailing list. Someone was having trouble with a large download and I suggested they try Got. It didn't occur to me about the other project with the same name (which is a git replacement). Woops, sorry about that! So I thought I should at least try and think of name suggestions :-)

Hey Brett,
thank you very mush for putting Got link out there, I think wgot
is a good name, I will consider it when I write v2 with wget
flags compatibility.
from got.
in v0.6.0 we have alias command called wgot
from got.
