- [Instructor] It's a good idea to make your projects as visible as possible in search by adding descriptions, websites, and topics to each project. To do that we'll go ahead and hit this Edit button right here and then we'll type in a description for this repository. If you have a demo for this project, you can put it right here. I'm going to hit Save and then I'll hit Manage Topics. Here, I'll get some automatic recommendations or I can start typing in different topics. So I'm going to type in VS Code and it's going to give me a list of recommendations which I can just click on. Sometimes you'll also get some additional suggestions down here. Let's go ahead and hit Done. Adding descriptions and tags, as well as URL, are the main ways that things are indexed in the search on GitHub, so it's a good idea to add these.
