Describe the bug
in vscodium/DOCS.md at the paragraph "How do I open VSCodium from the terminal?" there is a typo. Just tested that to open vscodium on my Fedora 30, I got to give "codium" command instead of "vscodium"

Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific

  • This bug doesn't happen if I use Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. It only happens in VSCodium.

Please confirm that the issue/resolution isn't already documented

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to terminal
  2. Click on type vscodium
  3. See bash error

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Fedora 30
  • Architecture x86_64
  • Version 1.35.1

Looking at github search, there are still 16 files where vscodium is present in the repository: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/search?q=vscodium&unscoped_q=vscodium

  • In the README.md. Changing it there should include a mention of the previous name for returning users
  • In the AppImage recipe (it appears the .desktop file might not have been renamed)
  • In the icons - I don't think there is a point renaming those
  • In DOCS.md
  • check_tags.sh, check_tags.ps1 and update_version.sh only use it to refer to the repository - shouldn't be changed.
  • build.sh - some paces where it's the repository URL, and some places where it's in product.json
  • sum.sh, create_zip.sh, win32-build.yml, sign_dmg.sh, sign_mac_app.sh - should be updated to match the change to the executable name
  • create_appimage.sh shouldn't be changed
  • CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md only has a vscodium email address

All in all, 9 places where the new name should be shown to users.

Good catch-- changing the binary name from vscodium to codium was recent. Will need to update the docs to reflect the change.

Most of those should not be changed. The project remains VSCodium, the binary is codium. The DOCS file should be updated in the section regarding the binary itself (as the OP has mentioned). The build.sh file will need to be updated in certain places as per #193.

Since I've not a Mac, I can't fix other issues apart those in DOCS.md
