Add an image for "social media preview" in github

[danieldegroot2]

You should be able to add a logo / embed image for the GitHub repository. See https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/customizing-your-repositorys-social-media-preview

Sorry, not sure what you mean here.

Seems to me that the umap-project github repo has a logo:

'Social media preview' is separate from the 'repository logo' and 'opengraph embed' ( #1591 ) -which is for the website itself, not the GitHub repository-. It is shown when people share links to your repository on social media and is useful to illustrate your project. (you can also add it to your README.md if you want.)

Currently looks like this

@Aurelie-Jallut could we use the image you've made for the sticker here (as "social media preview") ?

Mastodon url test: https://github.com/umap-project

Ok! Is that fine for you or should we change that image ? :)

[Aurelie-Jallut]

we can make it more visible (impactful). I'm willing to test an image if I can upload it myself ?

[yohanboniface]

Can you access this page ? https://github.com/umap-project/umap/settings (then it's in "social preview").

[Aurelie-Jallut]
