Note

Using topics will increase the “discoverability” of your repositories, and if your visibility is set to public, this means that others on the internet outside of Tufts University might discover your repository and its contents. Please ensure that this is desired behavior or set your repository visibility to internal or private. See:

Using Custom Properties

Info

Note: This currently only applies to the Tufts-Technology-Services organization.

Custom properties are additional key-value metadata that can be added to repositories. Unlike topics, which are free-form data, the available custom properties and their allowed values are declared by organization admins, and can then be set by repository owners/admins.

Like topics, they can be used in searches by typing prop into the search bar, and also results in a search url that can be used in other documentation.

Once set, custom properties should also be usable in repository rules at the repository and organization level. See:

For more information about the custom properties that are available in the Tufts-Technology-Services organization and the process for creating new ones, see:
