Description
As the submodule it links to is https://github.com/ofZach/projectGeneratorSimple, shouldn't we renamed the folder projectGeneratorSimple in order to avoid confusion and to stick to the documentation that stand here :
the version in github can generate projects for mutiple platforms (since you will have all the necessary templates, etc if you’ve got the whole OF repo cloned)
the version in github can generate recursively. It does this for generating the OF releases project files.
the version on github can update a project that alraedy exists, useful if you are trying to port existing work on one platform or release of OF to another.
In the ofV7.4 project generator folder.
Thanks,

Start in the ofV7.4 project generator folder under apps/ and compare its current name with the linked projectGeneratorSimple submodule and the documentation quoted in the issue. Confirm the rename does not break references, then update the folder name and any references that still use projectGenerator.
