git - How to add icon to my repository?

Question

I have found that Gitlab and SourceTree support icons for every repositories which make them more specific and easy to find at one glance.

How is this possible?

Answer 1

We as a developer sometimes need a change to make our tools look different.

You can add a small(I prefer 96px x 96px) logo.png image file to the root of your repository.

Which makes your project more specific and easy to find with gitlab or SourceTree git client. Unfortunately github does not support this feature.

It is very simple but it works!

Update: Thanks to your comments I have found another way within Gitlab repository settings:

hope you enjoy this trick and make your tools more fun :)
