You can search, sort, and filter your starred repositories and topics on your {% data variables.explore.your_stars_page %}.
|
|
|
|
## About stars
|
|
|
|
Starring makes it easy to find a repository or topic again later. You can see all the repositories and topics you have starred by going to your {% data variables.explore.your_stars_page %}.
|
|
|
|
{% ifversion fpt or ghec %}
|
|
You can star repositories and topics to discover similar projects on {% data variables.product.github %}. For example, after you star [{% data variables.product.github %}'s Green Software Directory](https://github.com/github/GreenSoftwareDirectory), you will see other content related to green software on your personal dashboard.
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
Starring a repository also shows appreciation to the repository maintainer for their work. Many of {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}'s repository rankings depend on the number of stars a repository has. In addition, [Explore {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}](https://github.com/explore) shows popular repositories based on the number of stars they have.
|
|
|
|
## Starring a repository
|
|
|
|
Starring a repository is a simple two-step process.
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.repositories.navigate-to-repo %}
|
|
1. In the top-right corner of the page, click **Star**.
|
|
|
|
1. Optionally, to unstar a previously starred repository, click **Starred**. This will remove the repository from your starred list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
{% ifversion fpt or ghec %}
|
|
|
|
## Viewing who has starred a repository
|
|
|
|
You can view everyone who has starred a public repository or a private repository you have access to.
|
|
|
|
To view everyone who has starred a repository, add `/stargazers` to the end of the URL of a repository. For example, to view stargazers for the github/docs repository, visit https://github.com/github/docs/stargazers.
|
|
|
|
## Organizing starred repositories with lists
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> Lists are currently in {% data variables.release-phases.public_preview %} and subject to change.
|
|
|
|
Curate repositories that you've starred with public lists. You can create public lists that appear on your stars page at `https://github.com/USERNAME?tab=stars`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you add a private repository to a list, then the private repository will only appear in your list for people with `read` access to the repository.
|
|
|
|
You can add a repository to an existing or new list wherever you see a repository's **Star** or **Starred** dropdown menu, whether on a repository page or in a list of starred repositories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Creating a list
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.stars.stars-page-navigation %}
|
|
1. Next to "Lists", click **Create list**.
|
|
1. Enter a name and description for your list and click **Create**.
|
|
|
|
### Adding a repository to a list

|
{% data reusables.stars.stars-page-navigation %}
|
|
1. Find the repository you want to add to your list by typing it into the search bar.
|
|
1. Next to the repository you want to add, use the **Starred** dropdown menu and select your list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Removing a repository from your list
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.stars.stars-page-navigation %}
|
|
1. Select your list.
|
|
1. Next to the repository you want to remove, use the **Starred** drop-down menu and deselect your list.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.stars.stars-page-navigation %}
|
|

|

{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
## Searching starred repositories and topics
|
|
|
|
You can use the search bar on your {% data variables.explore.your_stars_page %} to quickly find repositories and topics you've starred.
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.stars.stars-page-navigation %}
|
|
1. Use the search bar to find your starred repositories or topics by their name.
|
|
|
|
The search bar only searches based on the name of a repository or topic, and not on any other qualifiers (such as the size of the repository or when it was last updated).
|
|
|
|
## Sorting and filtering stars on your stars page
|
|
|
|
You can use sorting or filtering to customize how you see starred repositories and topics on your stars page.
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.stars.stars-page-navigation %}
|
|
1. To sort stars, select the **Sort by:** dropdown menu, then select **Recently starred**, **Recently active**, or **Most stars**.
|
|
1. To filter your list of stars based on their language, click on the desired language under the **Language** dropdown menu.
|
|
1. To filter your list of stars based on repository type, click on the desired option under the **Type:** dropdown menu.
