Hi team,
first let me say: It's awesome what you are doing here!

I wanted to propose a feature, currently existing in many other SCM UIs. Having the option to pi a specific amount of repositories to the top would be awesome.

Description

Pinning a repository to the top of an organization can be helpful for many use cases.

• putting Skeletons / Templates / Conventions / Concepts on top
• featuring repositories in an organization
• highlighting important repositories

Mockup / Ideas

I am seeing three possible options here to have a pinned repository:

1. Pinned Cards

This option will lead the viewers attention directly to the featured / pinned / important repositories.

• limitation will be needed (3 - 8)
• organization of the cards should be possible

2. Featured Repository

This option will take use of the unused space on the right side the same way as people and teams are featured.

• limitation may be needed (5 or so?)
• not as viewable as proposal 1
• may be easier to implement
• will use more unused space and not "push" the content down

3. Pinned List

The last option may be the simplest way. Pinning a repository just means, that it will stay on top of the repository list.

• very limited ui development
• context "this is a repo" is clearly visible
• is limited to the amount of "shown" pages
• defining a limit may be need (5 seems ok)
