I wish you could select repos to highlight.

I wish I could select repos that would be highlighted here. It wouldnt just to see the repos Im active in. I could use it to be more productive, say Im trying to only work on 3 repos. Works nice with orgs who have lots of repos.

As of now, we are already given an option to pin repositories and gists onto personal/organization profiles,
which I believe is what you're looking for.

By doing this, you could quickly navigate to the projects you're working on,
while also help others who are interested in knowing more about you.

For example, here are some pinned repositories in the official Github organization.
