Have you looked at GitHub's archive feature? It lets you mark repos you don't intend to maintain anymore as archived. I believe this also prevents pushing new commits to them.

If I remember correctly, there's also a way to choose up to 6 repos to highlight on your GitHub profile. That could be helpful if there are particular projects you want to display up front.

Thanks, I'm definitely highlighting my best projects, but unfortunately, Github doesn't seem to allow mass updates for repos. So will just have to set the time to go through them one by one
