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
