[FEAT] Add Favorite Repositories Section for Quick Access

[Bheemeswari497]

Problem Statement

Currently, DevTrack displays repositories and developer statistics, but users do not have a way to save or highlight their important repositories.

Developers may work with multiple repositories, and finding frequently used projects repeatedly can reduce productivity.

A Favorite Repositories section would help users quickly access their most important projects from the dashboard.

Proposed Solution

Add a Favorite Repositories feature that allows users to mark repositories as favorites.

Implementation ideas:

• Add a favorite/star button on repository cards
• Allow users to add or remove repositories from favorites
• Create a dedicated Favorite Repositories section on the dashboard
• Persist the user's selected repositories
• Follow the existing DevTrack UI design patterns

Feature Area

Dashboard

Alternatives Considered

Users can manually search repositories each time, but this is less efficient and does not provide a personalized experience.

Acceptance Criteria

• Users can mark repositories as favorites
• Users can remove repositories from favorites
• Favorite repositories appear in a dedicated dashboard section
• Favorite selections persist after refresh/login
• UI remains responsive across devices

Additional Context

This feature improves dashboard personalization and helps developers access important repositories faster.

Hi Maintainers,

I would like to work on this feature as part of GSSoC'26.

I will implement the Favorite Repositories section following the existing DevTrack UI patterns, including:

• Favorite/unfavorite functionality
• Persistent favorite repository storage
• Dashboard integration
• Responsive design support

Could you please assign this issue to me?

Thank you!
