Disabling projects in a repository

In this article

Repository administrators can turn off projects and classic projects for a repository if you or your team choose not to use projects.

Disabling projects in a repository

When you disable projects in a repository, linked projects will no longer be available in the repository's Projects tab. Linked projects will remain accessible at an organization or user level.

  1. On your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, navigate to the main page of the repository.

  1. On your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, navigate to the main page of the repository.
