how to add a description to git repositories in stash

Heiner Billich

Can I add a description to git repositories in stash? I would like the description to show up next to the repository's name on stash's overview page.

git repository names tend to be short and best don't contain white space as they become part of URLs. Hence they may be somewhat cryptic. For stash projects a description is set right when I create the project. Can I do the same with git repositories?

Thanks,

Heiner

Hi Heiner,

Adding descriptions to a git repository is not possible in Stash. We do render README files that are part of the repository (using Markdown) that you could use to add a description to your repository?

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

fine, that works. I tried README.md and README.txt, both are displayed.

Also, you may want to check out this plugin from the Atlassian Marketplace:

Hi Stefan,

Are there any plans to add this? It is difficult to navigate a project with 20-40 different repositories in it without descriptions.

Best regards

I am currently evaluating Stash for my organization. This feature is a must for us. I would up vote it if I could. I clicked the jira issue, maybe I don't have permissions to vote ?

I have created a plugin to add repository descriptions to stash.

Hi @Stephan Bechter

I used your plugin noticed there are a few instances where the GET request to the projects repo description would return a 404. Could there be an issue with how this file is created?

i.e. https://<BITBUCKET_URL>/rest/repodesc/latest/projects/<PROJECT>

Expecting: HTTP code 200 with json file of repo descriptions
Actual: HTTP 404
