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.

here's a little wrapper around i made around "find" which i always have to install on every new box i manage ....

An intro to finding things in Linux
here’s a version of ‘find’ I use quite often …… I usually download it to run as “fstring”. it outputs the file name and the string match:

mv can't, or, more correctly the rename system call can not.
rename is an atomic operation from any modern filesystem's perspective, you're not writing new data, you're simply changing the name of the existing file, it either succeeds or fails.
Keep in mind that if you're doing this, mv (the command line tool) as opposed to the `rename` system call, falls back to copying if the source and destination files are on different filesystems since you can not really mv a file across filesystems!
In order to have truly atomic writes you need to:
open a new file on the same filesystem as your destination file
write contents
call fsync
call rename
call sync (if you care about the file rename itself never being reverted).
This is some very naive golang code (from when I barely new golang) for doing this which has been running in production since I wrote it without a single issue: https://github.com/AdamJacobMuller/atomicxt/blob/master/file...
What are some alternatives?
the_silver_searcher - A code-searching tool similar to ack, but faster.
moreutils - moreutils is a growing collection of the unix tools that nobody thought to write long ago when unix was young. Read-only version of `git://git.joeyh.name/moreutils`
evenmoreutils - A collection of command line tools to extend the shell environment.
whomst - Gets user and group info, by any means necessary
ack3 - ack is a grep-like search tool optimized for source code.
fzf - :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder
ripgrep - ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore
miller - Miller is like awk, sed, cut, join, and sort for name-indexed data such as CSV, TSV, and tabular JSON
