• Is there a way to use gh search repos and also filter by repos I've starred?

  • AI Answer

      • Short answer: No — gh search repos uses the GitHub search API which has no "starred by me" qualifier. Use gh api /user/starred instead.
      • gh search repos flags include --owner, --language, --stars, --topic, etc., but there is no --starred flag and the underlying GitHub search API does not expose a "repos I've starred" filter.
      • Alternative: gh api /user/starred
        • bash

          gh api /user/starred --paginate \
            --jq '.[] | [.full_name, .language, (.stargazers_count | tostring)] | @tsv' \
          | column -t

        • This hits the REST GET /user/starred endpoint, which returns all repos you have starred (paginated).
        • --paginate fetches all pages automatically; omit it to get only the first 30.
      • Combining both — if you want to search within your starred repos by keyword, there is no single command. The closest workaround is:
        • bash

          gh api /user/starred --paginate --jq '.[].full_name' \
          | grep -i "keyword"

      • See gh api — GitHub CLI Manual and GitHub REST docs: List repositories starred by the authenticated user.
