GitHub can help you find repositories, topics, and people that match your interests. You might want to discover projects so that you can learn a new skill, see how other people solve problems, or find a project to contribute to.
As you explore, you can use different GitHub features for different goals:
- Explore can help you browse popular repositories and topics.
- Search can help you find projects related to a specific technology or subject.
- Stars can help you save repositories and topics that you want to revisit.
- Following can help you keep up with people and organizations whose work interests you.
Ways to discover projects
There is no single way to find interesting work on GitHub. The best approach depends on whether you want to browse broadly or look for something specific.
Browsing repositories and topics
If you want to explore what other people are building, a good place to start is Explorar o GitHub. Explore can help you discover repositories and topics that are popular or relevant to your interests.
If you've already been active on GitHub, Explore may also show personalized recommendations based on your activity.
Searching for a specific subject
If you already know what kind of project you want to find, search can help you narrow your options. For example, you might search for a programming language, framework, or topic that you want to learn more about.
For more information about using search, see Sobre a pesquisa no GitHub.
Learning from people and organizations
Projects are often easier to discover when you follow the people and organizations behind them. Following activity can help you notice new repositories, see what others are building, and find related communities.
