Rename CLI to svelte-kit

[Rich-Harris]

I think maybe the CLI should be svelte-kit rather than svelte, i.e. svelte-kit dev, svelte-kit build etc

[benmccann]

Maybe just kit? It would be shorter and easier to type.

[Rich-Harris]

Most of the time you wouldn't be typing it because it would be hidden behind npm run scripts, so I guess it comes down to whether we think the benefit of the shorter name for npx users outweighs the benefit of being more explicit

I guess it comes down to whether we want to divorce svelte from svelte-kit in people's minds. I'm in general favor of making this a bit more explicit to everyone, if only to make it slightly more likely that issues end up in the right repo. Semi-squatting on kit seems mildly gauche, even though we'd never be encouraging people to install the CLI globally. (At least I hope we're not.) svelte-kit seems reasonable. I don't think people are going to be calling it much outside of npm run scripts. If it's a one-off thing, it's not a big deal. If it's not a one-off thing, it should be a run script.

[benmccann]

Ah right. I forgot about the npm thing. svelte-kit makes sense to me then. I agree it makes sense to use something other than svelte

[rixo]

Indeed, I would sincerely expect a svelte command to run the Svelte compiler.

Confusion to newcomers would probably be maximal, and they would end up in the wrong repo / site when searching docs about the svelte command.

And also, marrying svelte and svelte-kit in people's minds would leave fewer space for other Svelte-based frameworks to flourish, if many people think Svelte itself is the framework.

cool, sounds like we have a quorum. will merge #186
