By default, your codespace will have a randomly generated name. Renaming it to

something descriptive — such as referencing the issue or feature you’re working
28+
on makes it much easier to find and manage your codespaces:
29+
30+
**To Rename your codespace:**
31+
32+
- Open your [GitHub Codespaces dashboard](https://github.com/codespaces) in
33+
your browser.
34+
- Find the codespace you just created (it will show the repository name and
35+
the current random display name).
36+
- Click the ellipsis (**...**) next to your codespace to open the options menu.
37+
- Select **Rename** from the dropdown.
38+
- Enter a descriptive new display name, e.g.,
39+
`Bug 7084 - text() recycling problems` or
40+
`Ignore deprecated/defunct fns in checkS3methods`, and confirm.

!!! Tip
45+
46+
You can rename your codespace at any time. The display name is
47+
for your convenience and **does not** affect your code or environment.
