Sync GitHub stars

Connect GitHub to save new starred repositories as Items. Keep includes the repository description, README, metadata, and clone URL when available.

GitHub sync requires a paid plan.

Connect GitHub

1. Open Settings.
2. Open Connections.
3. Find GitHub.
4. Select Connect GitHub.
5. Authorise access to your stars.
6. Choose a recent backfill or start from now.
7. Choose whether to sync starred gists.

Keep starts an initial sync when you select a backfill.

Choose a backfill

Use Start from now to save only future stars. Use a recent-star option to import up to the current limit shown in Keep.

The backfill runs once. Later syncs save only new stars.

Sync starred gists

Turn on starred-gist sync to save gists with their files, metadata, and clone URL. You can change this setting after you connect.

Sync now

Open the GitHub connection. Select Sync now to check for new stars. Keep shows the current run status and any error.

Save a repository by URL

You can save a public repository without connecting GitHub. Use Capture, the browser extension, CLI, API, or MCP.

https://github.com/iannuttall/seo

Keep saves the available README, repository metadata, default branch, clone URL, and instructions that can help an agent inspect the repository.

You can also save a public gist URL.

Use a repository with a Project

A saved GitHub Item is source material. A Project repository URL identifies the codebase for Note search and CLI context.

Add repository URLs to a Project. Link the saved repository Item to a Note when it is evidence for a decision or handoff.

Disconnect GitHub

Open the GitHub connection. Select Disconnect. Existing Items stay in Keep. Future stars stop syncing.
