Each codespace is assigned an auto-generated display name. If you have multiple codespaces, the display name helps you to differentiate between codespaces. For example: `literate space parakeet`. You can change the display name for your codespace.
To find the display name of a codespace:
- View your list of codespaces in {% data variables.product.product_name %} on https://github.com/codespaces.

## Renaming a codespace
## Renaming a codespace
Changing the display name of a codespace can be useful if you have multiple codespaces that you will be using for an extended period. An appropriate name helps you identify a codespace that you use for a particular purpose. You can change the display name for your codespace by using the {% data variables.product.prodname_cli %}.
To rename a codespace, use the `gh codespace edit` subcommand:
```shell
gh codespace edit -c <em>unique name of the codespace</em> -d <em>new display name</em>
```
In this example, replace `unique name of the codespace` with the unique name of the codespace. Replace `new display name` with the desired display name.
<!-- 1. Run `gh codespace list` in a terminal on your local machine to find the unique name of your codespace.
2. Run `gh codespace edit -c <CODESPACE-ID> -d <NEW-DISPLAY-NAME>` to rename the codespace. In this example, replace `<CODESPACE-ID>` with the unique name of your codespace and `<NEW-DISPLAY-NAME>` with the new display name. -->
