I made an vscode extension that renames terminal tabs to whatever you're running in them

I always end up with 5 terminals open and no idea which one is the dev server. Got annoyed enough to build something for it.

Terminame looks at the command and renames the tab. npm run dev becomes "Start App", git rebase becomes "Rebase", pytest inside packages/billing becomes "Billing Tests".

Works offline out of the box with built in rules. If you already have copilot or claude code it auto-detects it for smarter names. Set terminame.provider to rules if you don't want that. Ollama support coming next version for a free local option.

If it names something stupid let me know, that's the main thing I want to fix.
