 When I do ngit init, what does the "name" field refer to? I thought it was my username, but is it the repo name?

 I had to guess what the fields meant, when filling everything in, so now it looks like this and I think that's all wrong.

 It should include a one sentence description of what the field means. Shouldn't it?

 Everything other than identifier can be updated by running `ngit init` again

 Clone is the URL of the git repository on a git sercer used for cloning and fetching the latest tip of the master branch. It defaulted to origin. Website is for the URL of the projects homepage / best URL to find out more about the project.
