Repository Dashboard: Find, Search, and Save Queries in Preview

GitHub’s new repository dashboard (in preview) aims to make it easier for developers to locate and manage repositories within organizations or across personal projects.

Key Features

Centralized access: One dashboard for all repositories you have access to.
Curated views: Default filters such as My contributions, My repositories, My forks, and Adminable by me help you quickly find relevant repos.
Filtering and search: Filter repositories by visibility, language, organization, and more, then sort results by relevance—weighted according to your recent contributions and activity.
Saved custom queries: Bookmark frequent searches to return instantly to important repository views.
Flexible query syntax: Filter using organization and property combinations. Example: org:Byte-Sized-Demo props.production:true.

Usage

Access via github.com/repos, the global repositories icon, or the left-hand navigation.
Built-in views prioritize the repositories most relevant to your recent work across teams and projects.

Limitations

Only activity from the past year counts towards relevance and ‘My contributions’ view.
Older repositories (with no recent activity) may require manual search/filtering.
Relevance includes issue/PR/discussion comments, not just code commits.
Property filtering must be typed manually for now; auto suggestions are planned for a future release.

Feedback & Community

Share your experience or suggestions in the GitHub community discussion.

Conclusion

This dashboard is designed to streamline repository management, reduce friction in finding active projects, and save valuable workflows to accelerate collaboration and team productivity.
