 Consider clarity above all. Puns are fun, but remember that some jokes might not translate to other cultures or people with different experiences from you. For example, some of your users might be employees; you don’t want to make them uncomfortable when they have to explain your project’s name to coworkers!

 When you publish a project on GitHub, you have the option to make the repository **private** or **public**. A public repository is not automatically open source unless you pick a license that grants a certain set of rights to people who might interact with your project.
