Hi

What is the difference between $env:APPVEYOR_PROJECT_NAME and $env:APPVEYOR_PROJECT_SLUG?

Thanks

   $env:APPVEYOR_PROJECT_NAME is more like display name, while $env:APPVEYOR_PROJECT_SLUG is part of URL. Project name can duplicate within account, while slug not. Name does not have to be URL-friendly and can for example contain spaces. You can change name in general tab in UI. For now you need to request us to change the slug, though we will expose this soon (GH issue). If you create second project against the same repository, AppVeyor will by default assign the same name, but slug will be the same + random characters.
