Here is a slightly edited reply GitHub support, with my responses. QQQ > GitHub.com does not provide a way to add descriptions to branches. I can certainly understand how having an option to add a description for a branch in the GitHub.com GUI would be helpful, so I've added this idea to our internal Feature Request List. Many thanks for doing so. > git does provide a `branch descriptions' feature to add descriptive text about a branch. > git branch --edit-description > however, that branch descriptions added on the command-line are not displayed when viewing the branch on GitHub.com. Thanks. I'll explore this feature. QQQ Googling yields this page <https://glebbahmutov.com/blog/git-branches-with-descriptions/>, which seems clear enough. Here is what I shall do: 1. Do git branch --edit-description for all major branches. 2. Change the global description at the top of each branch page to mention this command: git config branch.<branch name>.description Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
