About GitHub Favorites

GitHub Favorites lets you build your own curated list of GitHub repositories and keep them one click away — right on your GitHub dashboard. Stars are great for showing appreciation, but they quickly become an unsorted pile of hundreds (or thousands) of repos. GitHub Favorites is different: it’s a small, private, drag-and-drop list of just the repositories YOU actually want to revisit every day. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ★ One-click add On any repository page, a new “Add to favorites” button appears next to the Watch / Star / Fork actions. Click it to bookmark the repo, click again to remove it. ★ Instant access on your dashboard Open github.com and your Favorites card is right there at the top of your feed — with the owner avatar, repo name, and a direct link. ★ Drag-and-drop sorting Reorder your list however you want. Pin the projects you visit most to the top. ★ Quick remove Each row has a small delete button, so you can clean up your list in seconds. ★ Syncs across tabs Add a repo in one tab and watch it appear instantly in every other GitHub tab you have open. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHY YOU’LL LIKE IT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Native look & feel — designed to blend in with GitHub’s UI in both light and dark mode. • Works with GitHub’s SPA navigation — no broken buttons after switching repos. • Zero configuration — install it, click the star, you’re done. • Stays out of your way — no popups, no badges, no notifications. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRIVACY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ GitHub Favorites is 100% private: • No account, no login, no tracking, no analytics. • No external servers — your favorites are stored locally in your browser using chrome.storage. • No data ever leaves your device. • The extension only runs on github.com pages. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PERMISSIONS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • "storage" — to save your favorites list locally in your browser. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ OPEN SOURCE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ GitHub Favorites is open source.
