Repository navigation
[feat] Group Projects #1176
Description
Describe the feature
I would love to be able to group Projects / Repos together.
This will allow grouping:
- Projects by Client
- Projects by Work / Personal
- Other combinations...
Bonus points if we can set a custom icon for the Group. Or at least a background color for the badge next to the group name.

Thanks for picking this up! I think it may have been closed against a different feature to the one I had in mind, so I wanted to clarify the ask.
What I meant by "Projects" here is the top-level repos in the sidebar - the list you reorder and collapse. The idea was to group those repos into named groups (by client, or work vs personal), ideally with a custom icon or a coloured badge on each group.
A couple of nearby features already do something similar but at a different level, which is probably the source of the mix-up:
So the specific gap is being able to organise the sidebar repos into groups or folders. For anyone working across a lot of repos and clients, that's the bit that would help.
Could we reopen this to track that, or would you rather I raise a fresh issue with clearer wording? Happy either way.

@de1mat is right, and I'd back reopening this.
What shipped was per-project groups (#2067) — they organise workspaces inside a single repo. This issue asks for the top-level repo list to be grouped, which is a different level and still isn't there. Two separate features that happen to share the word "group", which is where the crossed wires come from.
I've built the missing one: #5981 adds folders above projects in the sidebar — named, collapsible, a colour each, repos dragged in and out. Same ask as #2745 (closed into the #5612 tracker) and option 1 on #4018.
@AviPeltz @Kitenite happy for this to stay closed if you'd rather track it all on #4018 — just flagging that the thing it was closed against isn't the thing that was asked for, and there's a PR up for the real one.

Thanks @ashbrener , reopening !
feat(desktop): give sidebar folders an icon

Folding this into our sidebar project grouping ticket (SUPER-1511 in our tracker) so updates land in one place. The custom group icon/color idea is noted as part of that work.
