GitHub Freshness compares each update time with your configured freshness period and uses different colors for recent and older content. The colors below are examples; background, text, and file icon colors can all be changed in Feature settings.

Repository file list

Repository pages highlight file and directory update times within GitHub's existing layout. A settings shortcut appears after the Code button.

Light repository freshness

Settings panel

The panel provides separate light and dark configurations for freshness periods, colors, date formatting, file sorting, the AWESOME token, active theme, interface language, and JSON backups.

GitHub search results

Repository results receive a full-card fresh or stale background. Descriptions, languages, star counts, and update times follow the configured text colors, while repository names, topics, and Star buttons retain GitHub's native styles.
