This is a great name! It ties back to git nicely (git pull origin/main), and sounds human.

Cursor was also a great name given that it evolved into an advanced AI assisted auto complete. I think their team does a solid job with naming.

Then google the names and look what comes up.

Without additional search terms you get the wrong results.

A word that is already used in computer is a bad name.

And with AI it won’t get better. Ambiguity is a source of confusion and mistakes.

By your logic pull/push/main are also great names.

One main purpose of a name is distinguishability.
