How to disable/turn off recommendations in /dashboard-feed?

[ManaswiniGupta]

There is currently no direct setting on GitHub to completely disable or turn off the "Recommended for you" section in the main dashboard feed . The dashboard feed is not fully configurable through the user interface.
However, you may be able to minimize its appearance or influence by adjusting your general settings and using a filter option if you are part of a specific beta test.

Potential Workarounds

• Use the Option (for beta users): Some users in a GitHub community discussion reported an experimental feature where they could hide recommendations.

1. Navigate to your GitHub dashboard (). 
2. Look for a  option near the top right of the feed. 
3. Scroll down within the filter options and see if there is an entry for . 
4. Deselect that option and save your choice. (Note: This option is not universally available and may be part of a limited beta test). 

• Unwatch Unwanted Repositories: The recommendations are based on your activity, people you follow, and repositories you watch. You can manually unwatch repositories to reduce the "noise".

1. Go to the Watching page in your settings. 
2. Uncheck/unwatch all the repositories you don't want to receive updates or recommendations from. 

• Turn Off Automatic Watching: You can prevent GitHub from automatically watching new repositories you join or create.

1. Go to your  Notification settings 

2. Under the "Watching" section, look for and uncheck the "Automatically watch repositories" option. 
3. This must be done per user and is a global option, not specific to a single organization.

For a completely custom dashboard experience, the only guaranteed method is to use the GitHub API to build your own personalized feed with a separate tool or browser extension.

Hi
There isn't a direct "turn off" button for that section in the "For you" feed

However, you can just switch to the "Following" tab at the top of your dashboard.
That feed never shows "Recommended" content, only updates from people and repos you actually follow.
Cheers.

I don't see a "Following" tab.
