+# .github folder info
+
+The `.github` folder in this repository contains data for this repository for hosting on GitHub. This directory did not become mandatory until March 15th 2021.
+
+This directory contains several features.
+
+**Funding** - This funding info usually contains a `FUNDING.yml` file that links to sponsor info for this project. A folder called `/Funding` is also included, and at `/Funding/OldVersions/` contains old versions of the funding file.
+
+**Issues** - This directory contains archives of issues I raised on this project, along with general privacy info. A brief description of the privacy policy goes as follows:
+
+_I archive my own GitHub issues, and will not archive issues you raise without your permission. This includes replies, comments, and posts._
+
+* A YAML file is also included that contains GitHub label data, with hexadecimal color codes, issue description, and issue titles.
+
+* Sometimes, other YAML files are included for configuration of issues.
+
+**Coming soon:** A separate YAML file for each issue directory that contains label data
+
+**Discussions** - Similar to the issues directory, this directory contains archives of discussions I raised on this project, along with general privacy info. A brief description of the privacy policy goes as follows:
+
+_I archive my own GitHub discussions, and will not archive discussions you raise without your permission. This includes replies, comments, and posts_
+
+**SocialPreview** - This directory contains social media preview info for this repository for when you share or search for it. This makes a background appear above the repository in searches or messages, so that the profile picture of the user/organization is not shown in the preview. You can read more about it [here](/.github/SocialPreview/README.md).
+
+That is currently it at the moment, other than the new description for this process being placed at the root of the directory (the file you are currently reading)
