Popularity on GitHub can open valuable doors for developers and startups. Underground stores sell “stars” on the platform, offering coders a way to literally fake it till they make it.

    You can star repos. Mine have a few. No idea what it does and I didnt get any notificaitons for it when it happened. Jus figured it some irelevant feature.

      I use stars to keep a list of repositories I’m interested in. You can even put them in different categories, like browser bookmarks.

        I’ve always just followed them, have it send emails when a new release happens or something.
