It only addresses valid characters. ### Steps to reproduce I don't know the exact character limit but `Awfully Long Name That Someone Probably Wouldn't Use For A Serious Project But Should Be Addressed Nonetheless` is guaranteed to reproduce this. ### What is the current *bug* behavior? An error message is displayed with these reasons: * Name can contain only letters, digits, emojis, '_', '.', dash, space. It must start with letter, digit, emoji or '_'. * Path can contain only letters, digits, '_', '-' and '.'. Cannot start with '-', end in '.git' or end in '.atom' ### What is the expected *correct* behavior? >#### The form contains the following errors: > * Name cannot exceed [limit] characters. ### Possible fixes Inject a different message on the page load. ```html <div class="alert alert-danger" id="error_explanation"> <h4>The form contains the following errors:</h4> <ul> <li>Name cannot exceed [limit] characters.</li> </ul> </div> ```
