Copying and renaming projects (cloning)

This section shows how an STM32CubeIDE project can be copied and renamed (i.e., cloned). It involves several steps, and it’s not as simple as just copying the project-directory and renaming it.

The project that is copied will be referred to as the “source-project.” When the source-project is copied, the project that is created will be referred to as the “clone-project.”

Creating a FreeRTOS-project from scratch is time-consuming. Rather than create a FreeRTOS-project every time one is needed, we can create a FreeRTOS-project and save it, then copy it to create new FreeRTOS-projects. Typically, we also need to rename these newly created projects.

Of course, there are other reasons for renaming a project, besides cloning. The instructions here for renaming a project can be applied to any IDE-project, not just one that has been copied.

As far as we know, ST does not provide instructions for copying...
