  description

  With this extension you get a "Favorites" button on every repository page. You can add and delete a repository from your personal favorites list at any time.
  
  A list with your favorites can be found on the dashboard page at GitHub.

  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. You can review the code, file issues, or contribute on GitHub:

  Made for developers who live on GitHub. Enjoy!
