mc (Minio Client) v/s Midnight Commander (mc)

There has been some amount of requests on renaming this project to avoid the conflict with Midnight Commander for Unix distributions. We struggled with this, it is harder to find a name sweeter and shorter than mc for Minio Client.

Besides mc is a single static binary and can reside inside your application and is fully self contained. Midnight Commander (mc) is a free software clone of Norton Commander (nc). Minio and Midnight shares no code or ideas. Only their abbreviation matches.

Package managers are free to choose a different name if they like. One such solution pointed out by one of our community members.

mv ./mc ./mcli
