Why do you star a GitHub repository?
.
- jbollacke 10y agoActually bookmarks describes my use of them pretty good. I browse /trending repositories at least once a day. I often find interesting projects in there that might come handy one day. But instead of bookmarking, I star them on github. I think that starred projects attract more contributors. Haven't checked on that though. P.S. I usually DO NOT check the quality of that project prior.
- sidi 10y agoI wonder if there are any interesting hacks around stars: like monitoring repositories for major releases, discovering similar projects. And may be there could be some neat ones if we knew the social constructs associated with them.
