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.

How to debug GitHub actions. Real-world example
When it comes to the alternatives to tmate, there is another great debugging tool that you could check out. It is called act and it allows you to run GitHub Actions code on your local machine making debugging even easier. It has its own limitations and some learning curve but overall it is another tool you should use if you can’t fix the CI bugs by connecting directly into the running action with the tmate.

Could you upload your build of GitHub's runner image to Docker Hub?
This would be quite useful for users of other GitHub Actions clones like act [0].

What’s with DevOps engineers using `make` of all things?
If you are using github actions, you can run it locally - act
If you use Github actions, act is incredibly useful. It can be used to test your GH actions, but also serves as an interface for running tasks locally.

Streamlining CI/CD Pipelines with Code: A Developer's Guide
That's something that often is difficult or basically impossible. Except for maybe GitHub actions through Act (https://github.com/nektos/act). I'd still lean to something in the yaml sphere if it eventually would be used in deployment pipelines and such. For example a solution incorporating ansible.
It also seems to me that the argument you make is mostly focused on the building step? Earthly certainly seems focused on that aspect.

GitHub Actions Are a Problem
I feel I'm being trolled, but I'll bite and accept the resulting downvotes
I don't think treating every mention of act as an opportunity for airing of personal grievances is helpful in a discussion when there's already ample reports of people's concrete issues with it, had one looked at the 800 issues in its repo https://github.com/nektos/act/issues?q=is%3Aissue or the 239 from gitea's for https://gitea.com/gitea/act_runner/issues or whatever is going on with Forgejo's fork https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/act .
But, as for me specifically, there are two and a half answers: I wanted to run VSCodium's build locally, which act for sure puked about. Then, while trying to troubleshoot that, I thought I'd try something simpler and have it run the lint job from act's own repo <https://github.com/nektos/act/blob/1252e551b8672b1e16dc8835d...> to rule out "you're holding it wrong" type junk. It died with
[checks/lint] Failure - Main actions/setup-go@v3
It’s easy to look at the endgame. Just look at the hurdles https://github.com/nektos/act has to work with
There's also https://github.com/nektos/act which helps if you need something closer to GitHub Actions but want to iterate faster locally.

GitHub Actions Is Down
I started to bring awareness to the Earthfiles goofy license, but it seems they've switched to MPL! https://github.com/earthly/earthly/releases/tag/v0.6.15
The (unfortunately named) Dagger is also an entry into that space: https://github.com/dagger/dagger#readme (Apache 2)

Dagger: a new way to build CI/CD pipelines
Another *monster* difference is that Dagger is (at least currently) Apache 2: https://github.com/dagger/dagger/blob/v0.2.4/LICENSE but Earthly went with BSL: https://github.com/earthly/earthly/blob/v0.6.12/LICENSE
That means I'm more likely to submit bugs and patches to Dagger, and I won't touch Earthly

Show HN: Earthly v0.6
Great suggestion! We have a walk-thru in the docs and some examples in GitHub.
https://docs.earthly.dev/basics
https://github.com/earthly/earthly/tree/main/examples
Do those help?
The `earthly ls` idea is great. We do have shell autocompletions but that is not quite the same. I will add a ticket for that.
Cache misses can be a bit inscrutable. It could be the buildkit GC is running, because disk space is getting scarce, or that some arg or file change caused the cache to be considered invalid.
Caching is an area we will continue to improve. We have a proposal for extended cache mounts here[1].
Thanks for using earthly!
We have a PR for the ls feature up:
