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
We are using make targets to automate ci/cd, local dev and a lot of other things by adding a set of easy to extend, customise template makefiles as submodules.
The main advantage for us is it's same everywhere and it's agnostic to underlying technologies. (we are only supporting unix based environments and have guidelines to setup gnumake in macos)
We are also using make targets to document themselves. How to use, what are other targets, variables you need to define etc. This makes it a powerful CLI app for us that can run and support many things.
