Situation: I've cloned some repos from github, and I'm expecting them to be put in github tab, but they are only available in local repos tab. Their names still contain creators names ( someUser/someRepo )
Tried to clone with bash/clone to desktop button/drag&drop, and get expected same result.

What I want: Cloned repos must be shown in github tab, separated by authors, with nice avatars and so on. (as it is shown on of website)
What I get: Cloned repos put in local repositories tab and messed up with oser dozens of local repos witch I create every 5 minutes for every task i need.
os winxp, app version 1.0.56.0
Thank you
According to github support, "Currently the 'github' tab only shows repositories that are under your account or under an organization that you belong to."
Maybe requested feature will be added later

In my previous Github repos, I was able to create a project under the repo which was specific to the repo, but now I cannot see this option for the new repos.
I can still use Project (Classic) in my previous repos.
Github now push me to create a project under my account, and link to the repo, but I want to create a project just under the repo.
In my side, the problem is that, when I try to create an "Issue", the user can see all of my projects under my account, but I don't want that.
The user should only see the related project.
Can I somehow have the previous version of the projects?
Thanks
I uploaded my files to github, checked off readme, commit changes, selected masterbranch, and I got the following message as I scrolled down the page: Your site is published at https://tanishav842.github.io/Recipes/ but there is nothing there except for the word Recipes, which appears at the end of the site address that had been established for me through github. What did I do wrong?
Well, Tani, to have your own page hosted by GitHub Pages it need to be stored in one of the following places
In a public repository named <your-github-username>.github.io
Under a docs folder in master branch of any public repository you own
In gh-pages branch of any public repository you own
It means your Recipes repository are pretty much there.
Just copy your master branch content to a new branch named gh-pages and push it:
git checkout -b gh-pages
git push -u origin gh-pages
In addiction, as commented Edric, it would be cool to have your pretty nice stuff added to your page.
By now, I suppose GitHub is using your README.md that just have the word Recipes there!
Anyways, Here you can find a bunch of details about Working with GitHub Pages and also some step-by-step tutorials to learn how to do it properly
Hope this can help you!
Hosting a site is better supported by the GitHub application. Try following these steps to see if they help:
Download either GitHub for Mac or GitHub for Windows, depending on your operating system. Open the app and log in using the account you just created.
(On Mac): After you login, click advanced and make sure that your name and email are correct. Then, click "Install Command Line Tools", just in case you want to start using the command line later in life.
Create a new repository in your GitHub application. Name it your-username.github.io. The name is very important. Note the folder that GitHub is saving the repository to. Make sure the "Push to GitHub?" box is checked.
Move your website's files into the folder that GitHub just created when you made the repository. IMPORTANT: Your homepage HTML file must be called "index.html", and it must exist in the top-level directory.
Back in the GitHub application, you should see your files in the left column. Make sure they are all checked. If so, enter a message in the text box called "commit summary", something like "initial commit." Then, click the commit button.
Click the "Publish repo" button in the top right corner.
Give it about 10 minutes, then check your-username.github.io. Your website should be there!

I have multiple repositories under my account, and I placed a folder into the incorrect repo.
Is there a way use the GitHub web interface to move that folder from one repo to another?
From GitHub GUI alone, I don't think so.
You can delete files from the web GUI, but you still need to push your folder content from a local cloned repo (the right one this time)
Note: even if GitHub GUI referred to GitHub Desktop, you would still need to push.
I have a GitHub organization where I publish a webpage from the repository orgname.github.io. Of course, I have several project repositories where I'd like to host documentation about those projects. This is all possible through GitHub Pages.
However, I'm not sure how to synchronize the configuration of the organization page with the project pages. I want the website to look the same whether I'm at
http://orgname.github.io or if I'm at http://orgname.github.io/project.
What can I do to keep the Jekyll-based configuration in sync?
This is the solution we've come up with:
Create a repository to contain the Jekyll configuration, jekyll-website.
Fork/copy the repository to the repository <orgname>.github.io.
In every project, create a git subtree as the docs directory.
Whenever you need to make change to the look/design of the webpage, do it in jekyll-website, then pull those changes into <orgname>.github.io and all the project subtrees. This is a little bit of work whenever you need to make changes to the website, but it gets the job done.
Since the Github pages sites are hosted in the gh-pages branch of their respective repos, they are independent from each other and the project pages.
I'm assuming your content will be unique for each repo, so you're asking about syncing the theme/structure etc, which as far as I know that cannot be synced. I would recommend choosing a Jekyll theme for all of your sites and stick to editing content.
The github Desktop program has an automatic naming scheme for local repositories, and I can't find a way to change them manually.
Consider this screenshot of the sidebar,
with 4 identical names, it's quite hard to navigate. Those folders are different copies (different branches, actually) of a common repository 'papers', under the 'plasmonics' organisation. Strangely, not all repositories of that organisation appear with the plasmonics/ heading in the sidebar, and I can't tell what triggers a difference. In any case, I'm hoping to find a way to rename those sidebar names manually. Is it possible?
You cannot rename those sidebar names, but do check if the issue persists with the new GitHub Desktop application (released in Sept. 2017, two years after your question)
It should be able to display/filter those repos correctly.
For local repos, make sure those copies are done through the git worktree command (Git 2.5 and more, from July 2015). That allows to clone a repo once, but check it out multiple times (one folder per branch).
There is a pending issue (907) for de-duplicating the display of those worktrees.
