@MattPereira Would you know what could have been meant by Github Identifier? The only thing I could find is Github ID which is 7-8 digit number (different than the username) used to identify a user. Not sure that would make sense as a field for a new project form. Do you know of if there's an equivalent ID for different projects in github?

@heyitsalexander so i think "Github Identifier" refers to the ID Github assigns to each repository, but we definitely do not need to collect the information from users. We can get the repo ID ( if we even need it, i'm not really sure why we would ) by sending the repository name to the github API

@MattPereira oh geez that's a lot more involved than I thought it would be. Okay let's discuss next Monday. Would you be able to ask @bonniewolfe if this Repo ID is even necessary information for the new project field?

I dont think we need to ask for the Repo ID I think we can delete this part of the project form

Per discussion with @ExperimentsInHonesty, the GitHub ID is still a field that we want to keep going forward. That said, this field will not be a required field in order to create/edit a project. Closing this issue.
