Confusing Google result for tidyCDISC Github #136

So, if you google:

... you get "Demo Full tidyCDISC app" as the title of our github page link, which I think is pretty confusing since there exists other links to demo the app. I think it must be picking up the alt text on this button in the README:

https://github.com/Biogen-Inc/tidyCDISC/blob/d391daff99b7a6642438c1341a77a77ae2a99bdd/README.Rmd#L30

I wonder if we should just remove the alt text, or just replace it with alt = "tidyCDISC" so Google doesn't pick up the "Demo" language in search result titles.

Is it really as simple as switching from master to main so google doesn't index the README?

I say simple, but I know this would be anything but. There would be multiple implications of making this change.

Update on 3/6: It now shows the first 2nd-level header called "Purpose", dictated with a ## as seen below. I guess that is better than the alt text on the demo button.
