# Quickstart

> Sign in, sync Stars, Getting Started checklist, first-day actions

## Goal

On first launch: **sign in → sync Stars → browse and organize one repository**.

## Three steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect GitHub">
    Use GitHub sign-in or a PAT. Details: [GitHub connection](/getting-started/github-connection).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tap Sync yourself">
    After sign-in, click the list toolbar **Sync** button to fetch Stars.

    <Warning>
      In the Getting Started checklist, Sync usually completes only when **you** tap Sync. Signing in alone is not a sync.
    </Warning>

    * Progress shows on the sync control
    * Large libraries may take minutes; already-fetched repos are browsable meanwhile
  </Step>

  <Step title="Browse and organize">
    Sidebar → **Manage → All Stars** (labels follow the app):

    1. Select a repo → read the README on the right
    2. Add tags or notes in the detail pane
    3. Heart a repo into the [knowledge base](/knowledge-base/overview) when ready
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Getting Started checklist

After sign-in you may see a collapsible checklist (\~10+ steps): sync, select a repo, open GitHub, ingest, organize, search, try AI, open RAG, share card, Unstar, and more.

| Trait    | Detail                                          |
| -------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Progress | Driven by **real actions**, not a “Next” wizard |
| Dismiss  | Fold or close anytime                           |

## First-day shortcuts

| Action        | Shortcut / place   |
| ------------- | ------------------ |
| Search Center | ⌘K                 |
| List search   | ⌘F                 |
| Settings      | App menu / toolbar |
