I'll star a repo when I want to add it to my "favourite" or "interesting" repos - they are all listed under "Your stars". Is there a better way of achieving the same?
- nishs 3y agois lack of privacy your issue with the "your stars" page? consider a bookmarks manager.
- Narushia 3y agoYou can make the profile private and it’ll hide the stars.
- actionfromafar 3y agoCan't hide the stars from Github itself though. Keeping as much preference data away from social networks as possible is not an unreasonable stance, IMHO.
- Hamuko 3y agoYou also can't hide the fact that you're browsed or even cloned the repository from GitHub, since it's on their servers.
- actionfromafar 3y agoPerfect is the enemy of good. Much harder for some website to correlate random dowmloads to a specific identity.
- stjohnswarts 3y agonot a bad idea. in that case you can just bookmark them, no?
- absdiff 3y agoI'm using a local gitweb instance for this purpose. I have a directory of favorite repos cloned using "git clone --mirror" and a cron job to sync them every 3 hours. gitweb provides a web interface for browsing them. I like that it lets me open files without JavaScript enabled and search the code without logging in. I still use GitHub.com to read the issues on a couple repos though. Example of what gitweb looks like: https://sourceware.org/git/ https://sourceware.org/git/ - There's also cgit which is similar: https://git.kernel.org/ https://git.kernel.org/
