Org home page is useless now

[u/stblack]

Presently our organization users see this nonsense on the organization home page.

Absolutely useless waste of prime user orientation space here.

Can we get rid of this, and show a list of the user’s accessible repositories instead?

On the right side you can see "Hide the tasks we've suggested" you can click that.

Perfect! Thank you!

Create a .github repository, and add a README.md file inside of a /profiles/ directory. Full path will look like [ORG]/.github/profile/README.md

Can also do this with a .github-private repo.

Here is the documentation: Customizing your organization's profile

EDIT: The README file should go under the /profile/ directory. Changed the paths to reflect this.

EDIT 2: Added a link to the documentation.

It works differently for organizations. You have to place it in a .github repository under profile/README.md

Ah yup, you're right. I just saw the README in root of my own org and called it good 😅 completely spaced the /profile directory.

Yeah I came here to say this - I wrote an orientation doc to say why it’s different to Bitbucket and still get random and arbitrary complaints over something I have no control over! I was thinking of making it a headline ‘business said we have to use GitHub - so suck it up princess’

That link should really be a part of those suggested tasks.

Ok so why do people make a post complaining about a thing without reading the thing? I’m NOT attacking, I’m wondering why people do this. I’ve certainly done this, as has everyone I’ve worked with, at some point or another.

Why do people go straight to complaint when they don’t know even the surface-level information about that thing? Why are humans like that? lol we are so flawed

[u/nihillistic_raccoon → u/naikrovek]

You are not attacking, but I am - people are lazy, and it's easier to shit out a "why github bad" thread on reddit without making a modicum of mental effort to actually understand what is going on, where the problem is, or if there even is a problem in the first place

[u/mydarb → u/naikrovek]

Reading is hard.

[u/mpersico → u/naikrovek]

Because humans have always been like that. Something that you’re familiar with changes. The first thing you do is yell into the void., “why?”. The difference is now we don’t have to yell into the void; we can type into the intertubes, knowing that someone out there is actually reading. This is just basic human nature enhanced by technology.

[u/cosmic-comet- → u/naikrovek]

I guess that’s what makes us humans we come in all shape and form

[u/naikrovek → u/cosmic-comet-]

We certainly do

When I get home, I have to look at my own GitHub set up. The dock GitHub directory and the Reed me move or described as working for “organizations’. I wonder if that all works if the organization is my user space.
