To find shared repositories, choose “Also in awesome list” under More filters.

More filters Topics, tags, stack, license, files, age, archive status, and growth.
Ecosystem

Use the exact slug from these suggestions; an unavailable slug returns no matches. With Awesome list above, results must belong to both lists in this catalog. Shared listing is not proof of independent review or project quality; check each upstream README.

Exact stored GitHub label, not a license audit. Verify terms upstream. NOASSERTION is unclassified, not permission to reuse. See a worked license-evidence example.

Files

Choose a suggestion or use commas to require multiple files.

Health

Uses known first-commit dates.

Momentum
Filters by observed commit-count growth over the repository's latest 7-day capture window. Repositories without a recent baseline are excluded.
Filters by observed GitHub star growth over the repository's latest 7-day capture window. Repositories without a recent baseline are excluded.

A smaller starting count can mean a larger percentage. Compare star-growth baselines before setting a threshold.
