I'm new to GitHub and exploring its features. I noticed that I could curate repositories I've started using public lists. How exactly do these lists work, and how can they be useful for organizing my starred repositories? Also, are there any best practices for managing and sharing these lists within the community?

I would love to hear your insights!

Lists help you categorize repositories for easy access.

Organizing starred repositories into lists allows users to find relevant projects more efficiently rather than scrolling through an unordered list of starred repos. It also helps others discover repositories based on curated topics.

GitHub lists are useful but still need improvements.

While lists help in organizing starred repositories, they lack advanced features like tagging, filtering, or automated categorization. Users often resort to third-party tools for better organization.
