Repository stars#

Every repository header shows a Star button with the current star count next to the clone popover.

• Signed-in users click Star to star the repository and Starred to remove their star. The button and count update immediately and settle on the server's answer. You can change your choice while a write is pending; the button follows your latest choice and saves it after the current write. If a write fails, queued changes stop, the button reads the server's current state and shows a short error under it. Click again to retry your choice.
• Signed-out visitors see the count; clicking the button takes them to sign in.
• The people icon beside the button opens /{owner}/{repo}/stargazers, a page listing everyone who starred the repository (handle, display name, and the date they starred it), 50 at a time with a Load more button.

The sidebar places your starred repositories before your other member repositories, without duplicates. It loads up to 50 starred repositories and 50 member repositories.
