Answer 1

I recently figured out a way to do this.

I wrote a bash script that you run from the root folder of your project (only tested on Mac) to rename all of the files in the .idea folder that contain your project name, and do a find-replace inside those files.

BE CAREFUL: Make sure your project name is unique - i.e., a project name like 'towers-of-hanoi' is unique and the script will have no problems, but a project called 'a' will, as all instances of 'a' in the files will be replaced with the new project name.
