Subject: [PATCH] grub-efi-cfg: add GRUB_TITLE for custom GRUB titles
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2025 17:11:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250114161114.2731934-1-simon.eu@gmail.com> (raw)
Until now, the default title of a boot entry is its label. The label is
a variable which determines the script to run during an early boot stage
and is not necessarily human readable.
This patch allows to provide a human-readable title for each boot entry.
