Github - remove repository from list on main page

Question

On github's main page there is a list of repositories on the left. I got on this list repo "alanxz/rabbitmq-c". It is not forked. I'm not a contributor. It simply sits there. I suppose that it was added when I filled an issue there, but it was closed and I have no longer use for this repository.

When I go to Setting -> Your repositories, it isn't there. When I go to Personal settings -> Repositories, it isn't there. I have no way to remove it, I can't leave (as I'm not a contributor) and I can't remove it (as it isn't forked). The following questions are similar but do not apply or are identical but lack answers:

GitHub: Remove a repository from "Your Repositories"? (similiar, but that's not it)

how to remove 'Repositories you contribute to' in github mainpage (seems like exactly same problem, but no answers)

Remove external github repository from https://github.com/ landing page (no answers)

How can I remove this entry?

Answer 1

First of all, that repository list sorts based on most recent activity. So, if you had recently contributed to that repo, it would be showing up there. That’s expected behavior.

The list does update automatically as you make new contributions to other repos. So, as long as you don’t make anymore contributions to the vuepress repo, you should see its name fall further down the “Respositories” list over time.

As for manually removing it, that isn’t currently possible. The dashboard view where you see that “Repositories” list is only viewable to you, and again, the list is sorted automatically based on recent activity. That all said, I can understand why you may like to remove a recently contributed to repository from that list. Cheers!
