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.
argparse
-
Command line interface library
The most feature-rich C++ CLI library is CLI11. Other popular choices include Boost.ProgramOptions, argparse, cxxopts and others.

arg_router v1.2.0 - Thanks for all your feedback!
It was noted by u/k1lk1 that it wasn't entirely obvious what the benefits of this library are, so I'll compare arg_router to argparse, with a simple but common example.

What do you need to do to build a Linux terminal app for distribution?
You're looking for an argument parsing library. There are tons of these. My favorite is the excelent Rust crate called clap. For C++, the argparse library is a decent option.
- argparse v2.9 released - now with support for subcommands, nargs, prefix_chars, metavar, parse_known_args, improved help messages and more

palpatine Release1.0
p-ranav/argparse - A single-file header-only C++11 library for parsing command line arguments.

palpatine and rwar
I tried to make the code modular as much as possible. However, in main.cpp I have used the argparse and termcolor along with the main function. As Sam, pointed out, it would be a good idea to move them to a separate file and import them in main.cpp.

Looking for some small rust projects with an elegant code base that I can study.
argparse is another good one. Templated (delicious), tested, AND has conan and debian package deployment.

readline
- I need CTRL + A (Select all) command on the cmd
- After years of bash, I actually found a shortcut I never heard about.
- Keyboard tricks from a macOS app dev

shell-reader - an easy-to-use library for creating shells for the Linux terminal with support for navigating command history
That's nice, were you aware of readline?

Ask HN: What libraries does go have for building interactive shells?
Do you want to build an interactive shell or a cli tool? For a custom shell I have used https://github.com/chzyer/readline before, but I did not work on it a lot.
I also wanted custom completions based on context and this readline implementation was decent for that.

Just ordered the C2 as my first mechanical keyboard
On first glance, it seems like the Mac layout would be less convenient with Linux due to the alt/option key being further from the spacebar and more awkward to hit with your thumb. This makes a lot of commonly used keybindings (such as the standard readline keybindings, https://github.com/chzyer/readline/blob/master/doc/shortcut.md, commonly used in bash and other shells amongst other applications) harder to hit. Linux GUI applications use alt/option more frequently than super/command as well.

I switched from macOS to Linux after 15 years of Apple
but that's the readline shortcuts which are the same no matter which Unix terminal you are using, on macOS, Linux, cygwin, git bash, WSL...
