Step 2 of this guide claims that there is a "Projects" tab under each repository's name at the top. I do not see this tab for any of my repositories (example here).
EDIT
Projects are already activated in Settings.
1. Is the tab enabled?
Maybe the "Projects" tab is disabled in the repository settings.
Try to go to Settings > Options and under Features, check Projects to enable the tab, as seen in the screenshot below.
2. Have you checked your add-ons?
It is possible that your browser has an add-on/extension that changes GitHub's interface.
Try to disable Refined GitHub that removes the tab when there is no project linked to your repository. Also try to disable your ad-blocker, theme manager (Stylish), etc.

I need to change the default branch of my GitHub repository in order to delete it (it was somehow set to default upon uploading a file in which some documents were missing). In other words, I need to upload it again but I can't delete it as is the default...
I don't have the settings option as instructed in the help page. GitHub support never answered my request.
Much thanks for your help
First - check to see that you are the owner of the repository, or that you have sufficient permissions.
1.On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the repository.
2.Under your repository name, click Settings.
3.In the left menu, click Branches.
4.In the default branch sidebar, choose the new default branch.
You can only switch between branches that already exist on GitHub.
EDIT:
If you are missing the Settings button try
Ctrl+F5.
If that doesn't work clearing the cache and cookies (I'd suggest to just try a different browser).
Is it possible to remove the Projects tab like I can remove the issue tab? Because we don't really use the Projects tab , nor the issue tab.
According to this GitHub issue post it doesn't seem that it is possible to remove the projects tab just like the pull requests tab. Github should make a setting where you can definitely remove this tab, as many repositories aren't using this new feature Github got going on. I'm going to contact GitHub contact page shortly to get ahold of this issue.

They said this will be considered as one of the top priorty for Github Developers as said in thier statement:
Hi!
I have a question on how to delete the projects tab from your github repository. Is this possible? Can you guys implement this any time soon? I already have asked a question here about it : How can i remove projects tab , and there is also a github issue about it. If you can inform me more that will be helpfull :-)
This is not possible currently. Thanks for the suggestion though! I have added it to our list for our team to consider.
Thanks,
GitHub Staff
Sadly , as of right now its not possible to delete the project tab :( .
Note: since March 24th, 2017, this seems possible.
See "Disabling projects" from Ayman Nadeem (aymannadeem):
Users with admin privileges on a repository can disable Projects by navigating to that repository's settings and unchecking the "Projects" box.
Similarly, organization owners can disable Projects by navigating to an organization's settings and clicking "Projects" in the sidebar.
On this page, unchecking the "Enable Projects for the organization" box will disable organization-wide Projects, and unchecking the "Enable Projects for all repositories" box will disable Projects for all repositories in the organization.
Disabling Projects:
hides the Projects tab from the repository and organization navigation,
removes Projects from Issue and Pull Request sidebars, and
hides Project-related events from Issue timelines.
Disabled Projects are also inaccessible via API requests.
I have recently switched to a new workspace and have been unable to get some of the EGit functionalities to run since.
For example, when I right click and choose "Compare with", I now only have "Revision" and "Local History" as options - the "Commit" option is gone. The same goes for right clicking "Replace with".
Clicking on "Team" after right-clicking no longer produces the "Show in History" option.
The annotations on the right, which show which line of code has been added by who, also no longer shows.
I am sure that there are some more functionalities that I have lost since changing my workspace, but these were the most common ones that I used.
Anyway, my question would be if anyone has any tips on what I need to do in order to get these options back. I've searched the Eclipse and EGit documentations and boards, but have not had much luck.
You need to add the repositories you are working with to make EGit aware of them. In the Repositories view, select the Add existing repository tool button from the top of the view and choose the repositories in which your projects are stored.
Afterwards, you may need to Share the projects with their respective repositories (see What does the option "Auto share projects located in git repository" of EGit mean?). Then you should be set up again.
When you create a repository on GitHub, you can optionally create a description of the repository. Unfortunately, I wrote a description that no longer adequately describes the code in the repo.
How do I change the repo description?
They changed the looks slightly, the "Edit" button is seen when on the repositories main page, which is the "Code" tab. Here is a screencast/animated-screenshot:
As of 2020, if you chose the new design in feature preview, meta-information about the repository can be changed by clicking on a cog icon in the right-hand side menu's "About" section:
Upon doing so, a popup will appear where the description, website, topics, and homepage settings can be configured:
Click on the Edit that comes when you hover your mouse over the description and project url section
When you hover over the existing description, an Edit button will appear at the far left.
Just in case anyone else has a similar issue as me...
You cannot edit the description until one or more files are committed and pushed. In my specific case, I created the repository from IntelliJ IDEA and accidentally filled the description with text I had intended for the first commit. However, I didn't actually commit or push any files.
I went to the repositories page on the GitHub website, where I could see the repository and its description from the repositories page. However, when viewing the individual repository page, the description would not appear and suggestions for setting up the project were the only content displayed. There is no clear indication that you cannot edit the description until a file is uploaded, but once you have done so, the description is clearly displayed and with it a link to edit.
Click on the gear icon like in the image, and then change your repository description
Click "Save Changes"
1.Go into your repository.
2.On the right side About and symbol of setting.
3.Click on the setting.
4.You get Edit repository details.
5.you can change details.
You can do so directly from command-line, without having to interact with GitHub website.
Since the GitHub CLI gh 2.4.0, you can use gh repo edit:
gh repo edit d, --description <string>
# Update the description of the repository
press the Gear Button and you will see the description to update it or delete it
As of 2023, Github UI has been updated again and the option is now located in the top-right corner of a repository page. Click on the Gear Icon next to About, and a new modal will pop up where you can change the description of the repository.
