+## Renaming packages
+
+To rename a package you will need to add a new entry for your package. Simply
+perform the following steps:
+
+* Duplicate your package's current entry.
+* Remove every field in one of the entries apart from the `name` field.
+* Add an `alias` field to that entry.
+* Change the name in the other package entry.
+
+For example:
+
+```
+...
+  {
+    "name": "myoldname",
+    "alias": "mynewname"
+  },
+  {
+    "name": "mynewname",
+    "url": "...",
+    "method": "git",
+    ...
+  },
+...
+```
