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.

Ask HN: Can we do better than Git for version control?
Yes, I think that we can do better than plain text as the source of truth, and thus git would probably need to change.
There's work around a bunch of languages that are not based on text, some have their own editor or a tool to manage a canonical representation in text for you that would make them friendlier to git.

Pijul: Version-Control Post-Git • Goto 2023
There's many more akin projects listed in https://github.com/yairchu/awesome-structure-editors/blob/ma...
I can't wait fast enough for these ideas to reshape how we deal with programs and build stuff.

Is Haskell gaining or losing popularity?
Haskell seems to be pretty big. For example in this list of projects it appears to be the second most popular language (after TypeScript) :)

Emacs Is Not Enough
It would be interesting to have such a general project go somewhere.
While in principle structural editing sounds like an incredible advance, there are 'good enough' advantages to plain-text tools that make it a much more practical solution. The other issue is of course integration with existing tooling, which you either skip entirely or compromise on the design.
What I feel is missing, between the description of "old, bad state of things" and "utopian vision" is a review of some of the projects that already tried to achieve this ideal state. It turns out there are a number of them, and most of them failed to achieve any traction or impact [0].
The rants are very long, so I skimmed quickly the one about git; I understand the complaints, although git is only bringing me joy and no pain --interactive rebase, absorb and a few aliases made it a breeze. But in a similar fashion there are projects trying to solve its fundamental issues, like pijul(.org); what are they missing?

Ask HN: More “experimental“ UIs for editing/writing code?
Some good ones pops up in Projectional Programming [1] once in a while. The pinned thread links to the structure-editors github list [2] too.

Pijul: Version-Control Post-Git • Goto 2023
I'm not seeing a git compatibility layer? So I think it's a neat project, but I probably won't try it because nearly all code is rooted squarely in git. Even if Pijul is perfect, you'd need to convince everyone else to use it.
Nevertheless, the increased interest in moving to patch based workflows from branch based ones is great. There's a lot of similar tools here (https://github.com/gitext-rs/git-stack/blob/main/docs/compar...) which I refer to infrequently.
Personally my favorite tool for living-with-the-reality-that-is-branches is git-machete (https://github.com/VirtusLab/git-machete).

Highlights from Git 2.38
This is huge. I've wasted so much time on this, I wrote my own tool. No idea how thoroughly they've implemented this though (what all corner cases does it update or not)

In Praise of Stacked PRs
> Probably some arcane git magic to (interactively) rebase branch
There is not really a command for that yet, short of adding a bunch of `exec` steps to your interactive rebase manually. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32217204 for an upcoming command.
You might enjoy using https://github.com/gitext-rs/git-stack, which specifically tries to let you manage stacked branches locally while not exposing tons of PRs to your coworkers.
git-branchless itself also lets you manage stacked branches in various ways. For example, you can do `git checkout `, `git commit --amend`, and then `git restack` to rebase all the descendant branches sensibly. You can use it on the local side of things only and then use Github PRs as normal.

Termgraph 0.1 released
I've been using termtree in my applications but I'm needing something more like git log --graph for git stack but haven't found a general purpose one (there is an implementation inside of git branchless) and haven't had a chance to make one myself.

🗓 ⬇️ Lost in a sea of local branches? `--sort` might help!
I try to keep the number of branches down but git-stack provides something like git log --graph that collapses branches from other users and old branches, keeping the main view clean.

Code Review Decision Fatigue
Checkout https://github.com/gitext-rs/git-stack/blob/main/docs/compar... (note, the tool hosting this page is not included but as the author).
As the author of git stack, with all relevant biases, I recommend
- git stack for automating what you are already doing
- git branchless for more power at the risk of incombatibilities because its only as good as the data fed to git hooks
- jj if your open to something very different
What are some alternatives?
lisperanto - Lisperanto is a spatial canvas for programming; Lisperanto is a spatial canvas for knowledge; Lisperanto is a spatial canvas for ideas;
graphite-cli - Graphite's CLI makes creating and submitting stacked changes easy.
unit - Next Generation Visual Programming System
git-branchless - High-velocity, monorepo-scale workflow for Git
metadesk
autorebase - Automatically rebase all your branches onto master
gtoolkit - Glamorous Toolkit is the Moldable Development environment. It empowers you to make systems explainable through experiences tailored for each problem.
tig - Text-mode interface for git
git-machete - Probably the sharpest git repository organizer & rebase/merge workflow automation tool you've ever seen
lazygit.nvim - Plugin for calling lazygit from within neovim.
