Description
The current repository name, sdk, may be ambiguous or unclear to new contributors, especially those coming from outside the Dart ecosystem. While it technically refers to the Dart SDK, the name doesn't directly reflect that.
Proposal: Rename this repository from sdk to dart or dart-sdk — which is more explicit, self-explanatory, and aligns better with the naming of similar language repositories (e.g., rust-lang/rust, golang/go, python/cpython).
Benefits:
Easier discovery and recognition on GitHub
Aligns with Dart language branding
Makes it clearer that this is the official Dart language repo
Considerations:
GitHub redirects would handle old links, but some tooling/docs may need updates
Could impact automation/scripts that reference the old repo name
I understand that renaming a repository is a significant change. I'm opening this issue to propose the idea for discussion and to understand if the team is open to considering it.
