Example prompt: Search GitHub for open source vector database projects — I want to see what's trending, who the main players are, and which repos have the most stars.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search and discover GitHub repositories by topic, keyword, or technology — especially for competitive intelligence, open source landscape analysis, or finding developer tools. Prefer this over general web search when you specifically want repository-level data from GitHub. Use the sibling 'get repository details' endpoint when you already have a specific repo and want deeper stats.
