Editing the settings for a source repository
You can manage the settings for your repository, including editing the description of a repository, choosing the default branch, creating and managing branch rules, and creating and managing approval rules for pull requests in CodeCatalyst. This can help project members understand what the repository is used for, and help you enforce best practices and processes used by the team.
Note
You can't edit the name of a source repository.
You can't edit the name, description, or other information for a linked repository in CodeCatalyst. To modify information about a linked repository, you must edit it in the provider that hosts the linked repository. For more information, see the documentation for the service that hosts the linked repository.
