Repository dashboard preview: Find and organize your repos in one place

[patrick-knight]

How many repositories do you have access to? If you're like me, the answer is probably "too many to count." Between personal projects, team collaborations, and enterprise codebases, keeping track of what's what can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Today, we are introducing the repository dashboard preview – a new home for discovering, organizing, and accessing all the repositories you care about.

What's new?

The repository dashboard brings together search, filtering, saved views, and smart sorting to help you find repositories faster. Similar to the pull request and issues dashboards, it gives you a centralized place to navigate everything repository you have access to.

You can access it three ways:

• Visit github.com/repos directly
• Click the repositories icon in the top global navigation bar
• Navigate the left-hand menu and select Repositories

Key features

🔍 Discover repositories in one place

Find any repository you've contributed to or have access to – from personal projects to enterprise codebases – all in one unified view.

📋 Start with curated views

Get started instantly with built-in views:

• My contributions – Repos where you've been active with commits, PRs, Issues
• My repositories – Repos you own
• My forks – Your forked repositories
• Adminable by me – Repos you have admin access to

🎯 Zero in with filtering

Refine your search using filters like visibility, language, organization, and more. Sort by relevance to surface the repositories where you're most active.

💾 Save custom queries

Bookmark custom filters and instantly return to the repository views that matter most to your workflow.

What to keep in mind

A few things to note as we continue iterating on this preview:

• The relevance filter and My contributions view only include activity from the past year. Repositories you contributed to more than a year ago won't appear in these views, but you can still find them using search and other filters.

• Relevance includes weight from comments on issues, pull requests, and discussions – not just code contributions. We're continuing to refine this, so please let us know if something doesn't feel right.

• You can filter by repository custom properties by preceding the property with an organization name and manually typing the property and value. We're working to add automatic suggestions for properties and values in a future update. Sample query: org:Byte-Sized-Demo props.production:true

We want your feedback!

This is just the beginning. We'd love to hear how the repository dashboard is working for you, what you'd like to see next, and where the relevance sorting could improve.

Visit the repository dashboard and let us know what you think below. What do you like? What could be better? How are you using saved views?

The new dashboard is a good improvement. When I first opened it, I was a bit surprised though that it defaults to My contributions. Whenever I opened that tab in the past, I was only really looking for my own repos / forks, so My repositories would make more sense as a default IMO.

It would be awesome if we could create custom lists with repositories. For example, I'd like to create one for all my "temporary" forks and an open source project with multiple repos / forks. Views are great but they don't really help if you can't create a query that matches exactly those repos you'd want to have in that list.

In a sense similar to Stars though I personally don't think of it as a way for me to create lists. It's more of a social feature to show appreciation for a project.

I like My contributions more, but it would be nice to instead have all four options as default views, and those and custom views customizable, including their order and which one is opened when opening the Repos tab.

In a sense similar to Stars though I personally don't think of it as a way for me to create lists. It's more of a social feature to show appreciation for a project.

I agree with everything else @cdce8p said, plus with Stars I would even add: Allow adding a list (general stars included) as a filter for a view.

The idea of the Command Center is really great!

I would like to suggest adding the ability to filter repositories by "Custom Properties" this would be very helpful for teams to organize and visualize projects according to their specific needs.

[patrick-knight]

You can filter by repository custom properties now by starting with organization filter and manually typing the property and value. We’re working to add automatic suggestions for properties and values in a future update.

So you could do something like org:Byte-Sized-Demo props.production:true

Perfect! It worked here! Tks!

Is it possible to "filter" by codeowners content to some degree? Our team just a quick dashboard on "our" maintained repos

Looks good! Would be awesome if we can have these on the organization level also so that we can push curated views based on custom properties to our users
