This is actually a known quirk with GitHub's pin selector. It doesn't always load all your repos at once, especially if you have a lot of them. One thing that's worked for people is searching the repo name directly in the "Edit pinned items" search box instead of scrolling through the list. Sometimes repos just don't show up in the default view but they appear when you search for them specifically. Also worth checking if any of the missing repos are forks. GitHub doesn't let you pin forked repositories on your personal profile by default, even if they're public and have commits on them. If neither of those apply, try opening the pin selector in a different browser entirely, not just incognito. There have been cases where browser extensions or cached sessions interfere with how the selector loads. Hope one of those helps! |

Note: There is currently no API to pin repos — it must be done through the GitHub website while logged in. If a specific repo is missing, share its name and whether it's personal or org-owned — that usually explains it. |
Uh oh!

Body
I am unable to pin some of my public repositories on my GitHub profile. When I click "Edit pinned items", only a few of my public repositories appear in the selector list — the rest are missing even though they are public and have commits. I have already tried hard refreshing the browser and using incognito mode, but the issue persists.
