How do I rename a local-only repository on 'GitHub desktop' - without renaming repository directory

Question

I have a local repository (has a local remote-origin file://<remote>).
How do I change the displayed name of this repository in the Github desktop app without having to rename the repository directory name.

Problem is: C:\Project1\Website & C:\Project2\Website - both show up as Website
I want to refrain from having to have: C:\Project1\Project1-Website

I set the .git\description file - did not work.
I set the remote origin URL to <path>\Project-Website.git - did not work.
I tried git clone <path>\Project-Website.git Project-Website - did not work.

This is the mess that it causes:

UPDATE: This has been resolved now - with the "Add Alias" feature.

It turns out git itself has no provision to specify the repository name. The root directory name is the single source of truth pertaining to repository name. The .git/description though is used only by some applications like Gitweb.

Also GitHub desktop has no provision to rename the local repositories.

Workaround:

To override displayed repo names ( to be run in dev-tools: [View > Toggle developer tools] ) Best to save it as a snippet (Sources > Snippets) [unfortunately this will have to be run on each start]

function getElementByXpath(path) {
  return document.evaluate(path, document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue;
}

function overrideRepoNames(repoNames) {
  for (x in repoNames) {
    getElementByXpath('//*[@id="__ListRow_1-' + (parseInt(x) + 1) + '"]/div/div[2]/span/span').innerHTML = repoNames[x].replace(new RegExp('\\\\','g'), ' \\ ')
  }
}

repoNames = ['Ujnotes\\Website\\Framework', 'WCode\\Website\\Framework', 'WCode\\Website\\interim', 'WCode\\Location\\interim', 'Ujnotes\\Website\\interim', 'WCode\\Location\\Paper', 'WCode\\Website\\Project', 'WCode\\Android\\Project', 'WCode\\Windows\\Project', 'WCode\\Location\\Project', 'Ujnotes\\Website\\Project'];

getElementByXpath('//*[@id="desktop-app-toolbar"]/div[1]/div/div/button').addEventListener('click', function(event) {
  setTimeout(function() {
    if(getElementByXpath('//*[@id="foldout-container"]') != null)
        overrideRepoNames(repoNames)
  }, 50);
});

This is the result:

Here is AHK script to automate the execution of the script snippet at launch:

Run, "%LocalAppData%\GitHubDesktop\GitHubDesktop.exe"

winWait, GitHub Desktop
sleep, 1000
send, {CTRLDOWN}{SHIFTDOWN}i{SHIFTUP}{CTRLUP}
sleep, 2000
send, {CTRLDOWN}{SHIFTDOWN}p{SHIFTUP}{CTRLUP}
sleep, 2000
send, {BACKSPACE}
sleep, 100
send, {!}
sleep, 100
send, {ENTER}
sleep, 500
send, {CTRLDOWN}{SHIFTDOWN}i{SHIFTUP}{CTRLUP}
