Renaming a ddev project

We are a group of developers that work on multiple ddev projects. Some of these projects have a "." in their name, which by now breaks the PhpStorm integration.

Is there an easy way to rename a project and allow all other developers to tell ddev (after they pulled the new ddev config.yaml), what the previous project name was, so data (like database) could be migrated?

Please use the instructions in the DDEV FAQ "How can I change the name of a project?"

Use this process:

  1. Export the database of the project: ddev export-db --file=/path/to/db.sql.gz
  2. ddev delete . By default this will make a snapshot, which is a nice safety valve.
  3. Rename the project, ddev config --project-name=<new_name>
  4. ddev start
  5. ddev import-db --src=/path/to/db.sql.gz
