Rename .prj project file

I am using a Matlab/Simulink project to manage my files. The project is managed using a file with extension .prj. Does anyone have any experience renaming the .prj file? When I created the project I didn't give it a very sensible name and it's irritating me now. I'd like to change the name but I don't want to break the project. (Source control is managed with git.)

Hi,

A colleague has renamed the PRJ file under the source control (GIT) and then performed the MERGE (in the local folder) without problem.

Don't forget to rename the project into "Simulink project" tab, > "Details" button.

See you,

Nicolas

This is correct, there are two steps required: i) renaming the prj file, ii) renaming the project itself (via the dteails pane as noted above). In future we are hoping to have a project rename function, but these two actions should do the trick.
