Following my post from last year, in which I shared my GitHub stars for 2024, I have now reviewed what I discovered throughout 2025.
I review my stars periodically, and the 31st of December 2025 was no exception.
By the end of 2025, I had accumulated (or rediscovered) the following repositories, all of which are well worth a look.
This is a curated list, and I have selected those most worth knowing for the coming year, 2026. I have avoided repeating anything covered previously. To see my earlier recommendations, you can read my 2024 Stars of GitHub.
