# GitHub Trending ## Webpage Navigate to . This is the page you should see. ![Screenshot of Github Trending](https://901491421-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MfnvLlz6jyn3Hr5srxD%2F-MgDn_J3FHEdNfHfUaVI%2F-MgDoZ3sryjEAlf0v2zm%2FScreen%20Shot%202021-08-03%20at%206.40.59%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=f5047da9-3a2c-4ba5-9d7f-5d9cbeb2fed9) Here we can see a list of viral repositories. You can read the description of the project to get a sense of what it is. Some projects don't have descriptions, so you might have to click on the project itself. ### Stars If you like a repository, you can star it, which saves it to your profile. This is similar to the bookmark feature of your browser. {% hint style="info" %} Starring is a good way to save a project for later! {% endhint %} Stars to measure how active and how popular a project is. More popular repositories will likely have more stars. On the right side of the page, we can see that it tells you how many times a project was starred today. ### Filters GitHub allows you to filter projects. ![Github Trending Filters](https://901491421-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MfnvLlz6jyn3Hr5srxD%2F-MgDn_J3FHEdNfHfUaVI%2F-MgDqW7ENEZ8huzkkMJz%2FScreen%20Shot%202021-08-03%20at%206.49.34%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=c06b5b94-0d67-446d-9086-c80fb6048be1) We can filter by spoken language, programming language, and by date. Make sure to choose a language you understand. Filtering by *Spoken Language* will remove projects that are not written in your language. Additionally, if you are very familiar with one particular programming language, then it might be useful to filter by *Language*. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
