### 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 %}.
|
|
|
|
{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" %}
|
|
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 %}](/github/getting-started-with-github/finding-ways-to-contribute-to-open-source-on-github)".
|
|
{% 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](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 **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.
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your {% data variables.explore.your_stars_page %}.
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
You can use sorting or filtering to customize how you see starred repositories and topics on your stars page.
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your {% data variables.explore.your_stars_page %}.
|
|
1. To sort stars, select the **Sort** drop-down 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 **Filter by languages**.
|
|
|
|
1. To filter your list of stars based on repository or topic, click on the desired option.
