Pin repositories to your GitHub profile

I got excited thinking this was a fix to the main index page (when logged in) since that is so onerously terrible, but alas it is not.<p>I regularly contribute to a handful (like 3) different repos, and occasionally a few more (maybe 2 or 3 more). I have to manually type in the repo name every time because the main feed is so useless when you&#x27;re in an organization. We have 100+ repos, so that main feed is a bunch of things I don&#x27;t care about, and the sidebar list is some random list of repos I have contributed to.<p>Main page should prominently show me links to my most recently contributed-to repos and my open PRs, but it is so worthless and generic that I get annoyed when I accidentally don&#x27;t go directly to the repo I need.<p>And don&#x27;t get me started on the organization main page, what a stupidly pointless page.<p>&lt;&#x2F;rant&gt;

They got rid of the second column of repositories you&#x27;ve contributed to. Not that it&#x27;s a big thing to me but it makes the layout look weird.<p>edit: realized they merged the two columns.. yeah i hope they go back and split it up again.

It&#x27;s unfortunate that they removed the second column. The clear distinction between &quot;projects I started&quot; and &quot;projects I help with&quot; was wonderful. And it only fits half as many now. Being able to pin repositories is nice, but not worth the loss of the columns for me.

I&#x27;m quite disappointed that they nixed the second column.<p>- Two columns meant more information to show off and to glean about someone else.<p>- Two columns forced people to have short descriptions for their projects, just like commit titles.<p>Would it have been that hard to just make it &quot;pin 10 repos&quot; or &quot;pin 5 personal + 5 external&quot;?

Tried it, now my profile page 404s when logged out. Did they change some other &quot;privacy&quot; related settings?<p>(Also not a big fan of reducing the display from 10 to 5 repos, but what can you do...)

This is something I&#x27;ve wanted for a while and I think it&#x27;s a good improvement. The loss of the two columns sucks though, because I have more than 5 projects that I&#x27;d really like to showcase. I&#x27;m very active in open source.

I don&#x27;t know how I feel about these past few changes. Github is trying to compete more and more with LinkedIn. My user page is now becoming a resume, complete with summary and carefully chosen projects. Where does this end?

Awesome! I had this problem that my side-project (a vagrant box for Go development in vim) got more stars than my main and favorite project (thing written in Go). This will fix that.

Cue people pinning React or any other popular library because they submitted an issue or fixed a typo once.

What is the logic for which repositories show up in the available list? I tend to create opensource projects with their own organization. I see some repositories within these organizations present, some not - even when I&#x27;m the primary contributor. Very strange.

This new update sucks, I much prefer the previous layout.

interesting how they &#x27;fix&#x27; problems people don&#x27;t care about, and don&#x27;t fix problems people do care about.
