Taskfile
cod-stats
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

What’s with DevOps engineers using `make` of all things?
https://github.com/adriancooney/Taskfile - my favourite for its simplicity. A shell alias and a shell script with a function for each "job". No need to learn yet another tool when you just want to run a few pre-defined commands from a project's root. I think, if you're going to complain about make, then maybe all you really need is a shell script.

How a true gentleman navigate in Linux or Unix terminal...
You want to use $@ rather than $* so you don't have to do double-quoting on arguments that have spaces in them. That said, I'm gonna steal this. Also if you like clever composability tricks check out Taskfiles, I've adopted them all over in my own code.

I Prefer Makefiles over Package.json Scripts
I was amazed to discover Taskfile. Didn't realise it was a copy of Make.

I Prefer Makefiles over Package.json Scripts
The Makefile is the facade to the project. So you can have `make run` do `make run-windows` or `make run-nix` under the hood. And when you change hosts, or you redo the `run-X` targets into a single cross-platform binary or you put it in a Docker container, nothing changes. You don't need to remember that you need to invoke X or Y script.
I'm pretty sure git-bash provides `Make` on Windows. I believe thats how I tested it for this project: https://github.com/J-Swift/cod-stats
