Shell script to rename your Xcode project

I usually start on a project in Xcode without knowing what I'm going to call it so I give it a descriptive name and start coding. Later, when I have the final name, I need to rename the Xcode project to match. Unfortunately, Xcode doesn't have a native "rename project" feature. Thankfully, Monte Ohrt from Lincoln, Nebraska, has kindly written up and shared a Bash script that renames Xcode projects (which I placed in /usr/local/bin – which is on my path – so that I can use it from any folder.)

Also check out Monte's post on the manual process of renaming Xcode projects.
