# Renaming the theme files and its functions

The theme defaults name is "bearskin8pl". This might not be the name you'd like your theme, functions and filenames to be. In this case you can use the rename functions included here.

1. If enabled, disable and uninstall this theme at /admin/appearance
1. Rename your root directory manually to [newname]
1. If you don't have gulpfile.yml yet, duplicate default.gulpfile.yml (name it gulpfile.yml) and change line 7 (theme > name) to [newname]
1. Rename the theme files by running:
`gulp rename:files`
1. Replace the theme strings (functions, references etc) by running:
`gulp rename:strings`
1. Clear your caches `drush cr`
1. Enable the theme [newname] at /admin/appearance
1. If you already ran a `node_modules` directory (by running npm install), delete it and run `npm install` again to get the dependencies back.
