I sometimes use github search to double-check if someone has worked on a problem before startin myself. Even when the repo is abandonned, it sometimes gives a good starting point. GitHub often tells me about repos I didn't find on search engines.
I'd say go for it, but the discoverability aspect is important.
I also follow friends and sometimes find interesting projects through their stars.
- Klonoar 4y agoThis is, increasingly, one of the only things I find myself locked into GitHub for: if I'm working in a space that's sufficiently "old" (e.g, macOS APIs), I generally cannot get Google to produce anything useful anymore and end up having to comb through various GitHub repositories. It's maddening. No other code search engine comes close anymore, unfortunately.
