Github: What does the "Gold Star" next to my repository (in Explore page) mean?
On the (https://github.com/explore/week) page, my repo's been on top of weekly list for a while now, and today, I started seeing a star next to it.

Not on any other repo, and only in the weekly listing. Hovering over the star, I see this:

What does this star mean, and why is this there??
- georgebonnr 13y agoIt means that it's, well, starred. I assume it's like a favorite. The button to star / unstar a repo is in the the top right hand corner of a repo's page. https://github.com/georgebonnr/learn_the_ruby https://github.com/georgebonnr/learn_the_ruby
- karangoeluw 13y agoOh yeah. It shows only because: 1. It belongs to me. 2. I've star'd the repo. Seems like a new "feature" they rolled out.
- georgebonnr 13y agoWhy "feature" in quotes? You don't think it's useful? You can star other peoples' repositories as well, which is where it seems to be more helpful.
- karangoeluw 13y agoBy "feature", I meant showing a star on the Explore page, not the starring feature itself.
