Select the star beside a repository, or run Toggle Favourite. It appears under Favourites and stays there whatever you open later.
Open one
Select a repository in either list. It opens in its own tab.
Expected result
Your everyday repositories are one click away on every new tab.
Keep the lists tidy
- Remove from Recents takes a repository off the list; its folder is not touched.
- Starring again, or Toggle Favourite, removes it from Favourites.
- For many repositories, group them in workspaces.
If something goes wrong
A recent repository will not open
Its folder was moved or deleted. Remove it from Recents and open it from its new place.
Questions
Are my recent repositories shared or synced?
No. The lists stay on this computer and are never sent anywhere.
