Gitlab star a group: workaround

In gitlab we make extensive use of subgroups to organise projects.

I am member of a gitlab group with about manyu subgroups (about 50 direct subgroups, and > 1000 projects).

Maybe there is something wrong with this structure, but anyway, it is not easy to navigate to the subgroups I often use.

Problem in gitlab is that you can only start projects, not subgroups.

The solution is really simple: star a (dummy) project in the subgroup, navigate to it and go one level up.

In a recent update you can now set your home page to your starred projects, making this workaround more effective.
