Another strategy: I keep some things in private repos. It costs $7 per month for this capability, but to me it's worth it.

A repo can be moved freely between private and public.

Thanks for your reply. Yes you can put repos in private. The problem is that if your projects are open source and have some users or forks the people would not be able to look in the original repo, also it will be clutter only visible to you :).

This is what I've been doing so far, as well. Though, after reading this post I think I'm gonna try this organization method for a couple of older unmaintained projects.
Also, many people don't know that students can receive free access to unlimited private repos while in school with the Studennt Developer Pack.
