Allow to star groups (and subgroups)
### Problem to solve As a developer with special debugging and problem solving skills, I'm assigned to lots of different projects on our server. While acting as a firefighter, I see tons of projects in my projects overview page. It's hard to find the projects and groups I'm personally working in. For projects, I can star a project and mark it as favorite. **This feature is missing for groups and subgroups.** ### Further details Here are three use cases / reasons for this feature: 1. Projects can be stared and thus marked as favorite projects. To organize the quick access to groups and subgroups, it would be nice to allow staring (sub-)groups too. This would also add orthogonality to GitLab. 2. Many projects are split into multiple projects. Thus, the important entry point to work in is not a single project, it's at least a subgroup. Example structure: * **Customer project 1** <= this would be stared * Libs * Library Project 1 * Library Project 2 * Library Project 3 * Main Project * Specification * Documentation 3. This need is strengthened by moving many GitLab core features from project to group level like: - Epics - Group Milestones ### Proposal * Add a button to star a group / subgroup. * Add a tab / view to the groups listing to show only stared (sub)groups. * Add an entry to the user settings to select "stared groups" as dashboard default. Further enhancement: * Allow pinned (sub-)groups. (The pinned project feature is currently in discussion.) #### Images | Projects (star button) | Projects (starred location) | Groups (button) | Groups (location) | | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ | | ![Screen_Shot_2021-03-16_at_2.57.23_PM](/uploads/91da68bf83703bf9bd07ca043d03d86d/Screen_Shot_2021-03-16_at_2.57.23_PM.png) | ![Screen_Shot_2021-03-16_at_2.57.55_PM](/uploads/524df09db7bad44f0e965fb36f403025/Screen_Shot_2021-03-16_at_2.57.55_PM.png) | ![Screen_Shot_2021-03-16_at_2.58.28_PM](/uploads/006cacad1aec26c21ebf713af7e73825/Screen_Shot_2021-03-16_at_2.58.28_PM.png) | ![Screen_Shot_2021-03-16_at_2.58.15_PM](/uploads/17b93d9f4bdce09fd8b6db3353f3f501/Screen_Shot_2021-03-16_at_2.58.15_PM.png) | ### What does success look like, and how can we measure that? ### Links / references This could be interesting together with pinned projects.
