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 %} You can star repositories and topics to discover similar projects on {% data variables.product.product_name %}. When you star repositories or topics, {% data variables.product.product_name %} may recommend related content in the discovery view of your news feed. For more information, see "Finding ways to contribute to open source on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}". {% 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 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 %}
- In the top-right corner of the page, click Star.
- Optionally, to unstar a previously starred repository, click Unstar.
Searching stars
You can use the search bar on your {% data variables.explore.your_stars_page %} to quickly find repositories and topics you've starred.
- Go to your {% data variables.explore.your_stars_page %}.
- 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
You can use sorting or filtering to customize how you see starred repositories and topics on your stars page.
- Go to your {% data variables.explore.your_stars_page %}.
- To sort stars, select the Sort drop-down menu, then select Recently starred, Recently active, or Most stars.
- To filter your list of stars based on their language, click on the desired language under Filter by languages.
- To filter your list of stars based on repository or topic, click on the desired option.
