Chapter 6: https://nextjs.org/learn/dashboard-app/setting-up-your-database#connect-and-deploy-your-project
They have you creating a repository (Gitlab in my case). Doing so seems to involve choosing a couple more names for things in a Couple more places - ie: the repository name you choose in Gitlab and the project name you choose in vercel account. I'm wondering how this works when the situation could involve 3 locations - the vercel account (in the cloud), the Gitlab repository (in the cloud), and what is saved locally on my hard drive. Also I'm wondering... Well, I'm already dealing with a not so great path names locally. And I already found out you can't just go ahead and rename some part of the local path to the next project without suffereing consequences. I just don't want to make a big overall mess where I have different names in all 3 locations.

Also I'd like to find out if there's a simple way to change a directory name locally without breaking the next project.
Current Path to Project: /home/username/Projects/Software/Learning/NextJS/DashboardApp/nextjs-dashboard
Contains: DashboardApp and .next (directories - project content)
I'm guessing "DashboardApp" here comes from when you give a project name when you install the next project with npx?
I'm wanting to change the path to this..
/home/username/Projects/Software/Learning/NextJS/Courses/DashboardApp
And have the project contents be ("Project" and ".next") or ("Content" and ".next") inside DashboarApp as per the path above.
But what to change dir names in that path to kinda depends on what things are going to look like once you involve having a repo in Gitlab and a project in the nextjs account (both in the cload and in addition to the locally stored content). If I changed things to what is shown above what would I end up with? Whatever I name the repo in Gitlab is whatever I named it there, whatever I named the project in next account is what I named it there, and what I chaned it to in the exaxample here / above has those directory names?

I'm re-reading what I posted and it seems confusing what the way I said it. I guess I have a few questions/concerns..
1. I'm concerned about having multiple names for things in several location. I want the names to be clear and consistent (not confusing) what they are showing up in more than one place.
2. I want to understand what my project on disk (locally) looks like after a repository (in the cloud) exists and a project (in next account) exists and they are connected with local content on disk.
3. I'm wondering how I can modify one or more directory names (including the one that was named when the next project was created with npx) if I choose to.
