Labelling Git Repositories in SAS Studio and Enterprise Guide.

[PaulShannon]

Working on multiple concurrent studies in SAS Studio (using v3.8) causes a risk of confusion as each repository is shown using only the directory name of the local repository. 

In our example this is always the name "programs" as part of a standard folder structure, no matter the client or study. When registering a Git Repository in SAS Studio or Enterprise Guide, it would be valuable to have an additional input field for a user to specify a friendly name or label to be shown in the client application. The friendly name would be shown instead of the directory name when one is provided. 

I have attached a mock-up showing the issue and a UI screen of my envisaged solution.

To enhance clarity when working with multiple concurrent studies in SAS Studio (v3.8), it would be helpful to add an input field for users to assign a "friendly name" or label to each Git repository. Currently, repositories are identified by the local directory name (e.g., "programs"), which can lead to confusion when working across different clients or studies.

To address the issue of confusion when working with multiple concurrent studies in SAS Studio (v3.8), it would be beneficial to add a feature allowing users to assign a "friendly name" or label to each Git repository.
