You can organize the project repository by creating categories and grouping projects within them. By default, there is a single category named Uncategorized, but you can create as many categories as you need. The server supports a hierarchical category structure, allowing you to nest categories. Categories can be renamed and removed. In addition, you can move projects from one category to another.
