"I think it would be very interesting if we could create folders for our repositories. I'm suggesting this primarily because I recently worked on a mobile app that required a separate repository for its privacy policy. Since I value organization, it would be great to create a 'Mobile' folder to group these related repos. This feature would also be incredibly useful for showcasing specific projects to recruiters."

This would be amazing! Found this because I was about to submit that too. I would love to be able to organize my repos into folders. My workaround with organizations is... not sustainable. I have a fair amount of repositories. It would be nice to have folders instead of a huge single-level list of unorganized repos. Say a folder for my open source minecraft plugins, another one for my NPM libs, another one for my discord bots. Sad to see that this only has 4 upvotes (including mine)

Thanks, I really appreciate you commenting.

I completely agree, once you start having a lot of repositories, the current single-level structure becomes hard to manage. Your examples are great, and they show exactly why folders would be so useful.

Using organizations as a workaround doesn’t really solve the problem in a clean way. A proper folder system would make GitHub much better for organization and for showcasing related projects.
