how does it works? only changes the name of one item? are still generic items there? If i stack my renamed item with a normal item, what happens?

Only changes the description
You can't stack items with different descriptions anymore.
To clear a custom name, simply go to the table and make the textbox empty.

Please host this mod on some git hosting site, so we can update it.

Simple - works as expected.
However, it's easier to clone from git into the destination directory instead download, unzip and deleting the archive.

Also, you should add a limit:

The forums are not phone friendly.

Interesting.. didn't expect that minetest supports such long tooltips without bugs :)
But to set such long item names, one should need a privilege
BTW how did you insert the newlines? Copy Paste?

I know, but it isn't as easily typable as \n, is it?

it is technically untypable. if you press 'Enter' you get it. \n should be supported!
