[Feature request] Have a command to rename an existing API and code consuming it

[cmoulliard]

What is the best approach to rename an API / CRD + operator's code ?

• I have generated the code of my first API using this command operator-sdk new spring-boot-operator --api-version=springboot.snowdrop.me/v1alpha1 --kind=SpringBoot,
• developed the code of the operator and
• now I would like to rename the API to pkg/apis/component/v1alpha1 + CRD + ... files

+1, I found it to be very hard to manually do this after it was generated using sdk.

@cmoulliard you can for now just do a sed to rename it in the code. As far as I am aware there is no command for that in the operator-sdk. But if you can change the title of this to turn this question into a feature request instead?

Title renamed.

I'd be also interested in this.

I also ran into this went wanting to change the Group and Version of my operator's CRD operator-framework/operator-marketplace#139. It is also preferable to be able to handle both versions in the same operator allowing code to be shared.
