Hey everyone! 👋

I recently built a small application that fetches all starred repositories from your GitHub account and creates lists of stars stored locally for easy access and organization.
It’s mainly for personal and educational use, helping developers better manage and explore their starred repositories.

The project is still a work in progress, and I’ll be adding finishing touches and new features over time — so stay tuned for updates!

💡 Important Note:
This app was developed with full respect for GitHub’s infrastructure and API guidelines.
It fetches data only when needed, stays within API rate limits, and helps you create and store lists locally — no external database or server usage.

⚠️ Caution:
Overuse, misuse, or automation beyond GitHub’s allowed rate limits can lead to account restrictions.
The developer is not responsible for any such outcomes — please use responsibly.

Hi @GurjeetSahu !!

Really cool project! How are you handling authentication with the GitHub API, personal access token or OAuth flow? I am curious about your implementation details. Feel free to mark this as answered!

Thanks again for sharing!

Hey Marco! I’m currently using OAuth App created by user for authentication, but since this project is meant for personal use only, I completely agree - using a personal access token would be a great alternative. It simplifies things and saves developers from the hassle of creating and configuring an OAuth app.

I will add change to PAT-based mode for easier setup. Thanks for the suggestion! 🙌
