When I rename a local site in Dev Kinsta, two things happen - and I like to avoid both of them:

1. The local website’s domain is updated to reflect the new website title.
2. The doc-root folder inside the ~/DevKinsta directory is renamed to reflect the new website title.

Please forward this to the devs, as the domain-change is annoying, and the folder-renaming creates problems with git repos (I need to remove + add all repos inside a DevKinsta project in my git client, after renaming a site); also symlinks break when renaming the folder

Thanks @philippstracker, I’ve shared this concern with our developers.
