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.

So You Think You Know Git – Git Tips and Tricks by Scott Chacon
Thanks for the difftastic & zoxide tips.
However, I've been using this git pager/difftool: https://github.com/dandavison/delta
While it's not structural like difft, it does produce more readable output for me (at least when scrolling fast through git log -p /scanning quickly

Unified versus Split Diff
I'm currently waiting on the integration between Delta and Difftastic:
https://github.com/dandavison/delta/issues/535
Difftastic now has JSON output, whic should make it much easier to build this.

Magit
I'm surely in the minority here. I've been using Emacs for almost a decade now, but I just can't get into the Magit workflow. I've tried several times, but always end up going back to Git on the command line. I have dozens of aliases, shell integrations, a nice diff viewer[1], etc., and interacting with Git has become muscle memory. I can commit, cherry-pick, rebase, bisect, fix conflicts, etc., in a fraction of the time it would take me to navigate Magit's UI. I'm sure with enough practice, a Magit user could do this more quickly and efficiently, but honestly, with some custom-built porcelain, Git's UI is not so bad. Though this could very well be Stockholm syndrome after using it for such a long time...
For whatever reason, Magit's opinionated workflows never clicked with me. A part of it is the concern that it will do something weird to my repo that I'll then have to waste more time undoing manually. I usually don't trust sugary wrappers around tools. And another is the fact I don't use Emacs on all machines, and setting up Git on a remote system is just a matter of copying over my config and some shell integrations.
Also, on a more personal note, I find the cultish fanboyism whenever Magit is brought up slightly offputting. Does anyone have anything bad to say about it? No software can realistically be this infallible. :)

How to use Git?
For looking at diffs I still prefer the command line though, and use delta to view diffs between commits or branches.

Hired: A Modern Take on 'Ed'
That’s the same as bat:[1] one of the features is syntax highlighting. Kind of unexpected to find a concatenation program… which also does that.

Ugrep – a more powerful, ultra fast, user-friendly, compatible grep
Good find, thanks! I'll check if I prefer it to moar.
As for bat, according to https://github.com/sharkdp/bat#using-bat-on-windows, the Chocolatey package simply installs `less` alongside `bat`. Seems like a good idea, but I haven't tried it.
