Settings & rules

The terms of the house.

How rank is decided, what may be listed, and how the money moves — plus the handful of settings this browser remembers about you.

Rules & pricing

The whole arrangement, in nineteen lines. Read the payment section before you bid.

Ranking mechanics

  1. Rank is determined solely by cumulative dollars bid. Highest total sits at #1.
  2. To take #1, you must bid more than the current leader's total.
  3. Every dollar you've ever put in stays counted toward your listing.
  4. Bids are final — never refunded, spent down, or expired.
  5. Ties break in favour of whichever listing reached that total first.

Listing rules

  1. Public GitHub repositories only. No profiles, organisations, personal sites, or non-GitHub links.
  2. Minimum bid: $1.
  3. One canonical entry per repo. Re-bidding an already-listed repo adds to its total.
  4. No adult, illegal, malicious, or abusive content.
  5. No URL shorteners, tracking parameters, or affiliate links.
  6. Links are normalised to the canonical github.com/owner/repo path.

Payment

  1. Payments are processed by Razorpay. Cards, UPI, and netbanking are accepted.
  2. Bids are priced and charged in US dollars.
  3. Payment completes instantly — rank is granted the moment the bid clears.
  4. All bids are non-refundable once processed.

Acceptable use

  1. repobid does not sell stars. It sells placement — a spot where real developers are likely to see and evaluate a repository.
  2. Bots, purchased accounts, or any artificial engagement used to inflate stars on a listed repo means immediate delisting, without refund.
  3. Bidders are responsible for ensuring their repo complies with GitHub's Acceptable Use Policies.
  4. repobid may remove any listing that GitHub flags, restricts, or acts against.

Disclaimer: rank on repobid reflects money paid — not code quality, project maturity, or any endorsement by repobid. Bids are non-refundable. repobid is not affiliated with or endorsed by GitHub, Inc.
