On GitHub you can add a website URL to the details of a repository. This URL then will get display in the sidebar on the right hand side.
Apparently, Vercel automatically fills in this field when it's empty and you’ve made a production deployment. You can manually empty it, but it will get filled in the next time again.
I don't want it. I want this URL to stay empty.
I didn't find any setting in Vercel to disable this feature. How can I disable it?
There is currently no way to disable this but I'll pass along the feedback to the product team here
Out of curiosity, do you have a reason for wanting it empty? Is there a conflicting tool that uses that field? Or you just prefer to clean and blank?
Hi Jacob, thanks for the reply.
No, I don't have a conflicting tool. It's just that the website's content isn't public but only accessible for a very limited set of people. It's fully behind a login. Therefore it's pretty useless for other people browsing this repository.
Alright, thanks for following up!
As a workaround maybe you could set the URL to your github url, which wouldn't be very useful but at least people would find it easier to ignore
Right, such a simple idea I didn’t think of. Yes, that works for me. Thanks 🙂
