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, I knew about -committerdate but not that you can set it as default sort, super useful. A few notes...
1. git columns gets real confusing if you have more data than fits the screen and you need to scroll. Numbers would help...
2. git maintenance sounds great but since I do a lot of rebases and stuff, I am worried: does this lose loose objects faster than gc would? I see gc is disabled but it's not clear.
3. Regarding git blame a little known but super useful script is https://github.com/gnddev/git-blameall . (I mean, it's so little known I myself needed to port it to Python 3 and I am no Python developer by any stretch.)

Fossil: Battery Included Git Alternative
Does anyone know whether git blameall https://github.com/ddev/git-blameall is easy to do with Fossil? It's a lesser known tool but I found it incredibly useful (hence why I did the Python 3, mostly automated tools but still).

Ask HN: Can we do better than Git for version control?
Yes, but due to its simplicity + extensibility + widespread adoption, I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re still using Git 100+ years from now.
The current trend (most popular and IMO likely to succeed) is to make tools (“layers”) which work on top of Git, like more intuitive UI/patterns (https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit, https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless) and smart merge resolvers (https://github.com/Symbolk/IntelliMerge, https://docs.plasticscm.com/semanticmerge/how-to-configure/s...). Git it so flexible, even things that it handles terribly by default, it handles

Branchless Workflow for Git
> Is this for a case where a bunch of people branch from master@HEAD (lets call this A), then you need to modify A, so you then need to rebase each branch that branched from A individually?
Mainly it's for when you branch from A multiple times, and then modify A. This can happen if you have some base work that you build multiple features on top of. I routinely do this as part of rapid prototyping, as described here: https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/wiki/Workflow:-div...
`git undo` shows a list of operations it'll execute, which you have to confirm before accepting. Of course, it's ultimately a matter of trust in the tools you use.

Where are my Git UI features from the future?
Rebasing is a fundamental primitive, but not Git's implementation of interactive rebasing.
I very much subscribe to a patch stack workflow, but have a great deal of difficulty doing advanced things in Git, because `git rebase -i` does not support enough workflows.
Here's some features which I've implemented which improved on `git rebase`.in general: https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/wiki/Command:-git-...
On the contrary: I myself have implemented these better operations, and they work great. They also exist in some other VCSes. You can see the `git-branchless` column in the table for comparison with the other clients.
- git reword: https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/wiki/Command:-git-...
- git move will perform the magic "see all downstream conflicts", but unfortunately will only show you the number of conflicting files, at present: https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/wiki/Command:-git-...
- You cannot undo arbitrary operations with the reflog (nor with `git reset`). See https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/wiki/Architecture#.... Besides those points, my `git undo` can even undo some working copy changes: https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/wiki/Command:-git-...
> The author's "features from the future" feel to me like they just haven't gotten a good feel for the model.
The author is apparently behind[1] a sucessful alternative UI to Git. It seems safe to assume that they are way beyond merely getting a feel for the Git model.
The Bad-UX denialism has really gone too far when authors like that are dismissed over the old You Just Have To Understand The Model talking point.

Show HN: Maiao, Stacked Diffs for GitHub
What happens is you work somewhere that has stacked diffs and suddenly you learn how to shape your diffs to make them easy to review. Thinking of how folks will review your code in chunks while writing it makes it cleaner. Having small but easy to read diffs makes reviews faster and helps junior devs learn how to review.
Sometimes this doesn’t happen in which case you end up need to split your commit at the end. This is where git utterly fails. You end up needing git split and git absorb to make this productive.
Git split let’s you select which chunks in a commit should belong to it and then splits that into a commit and then you do it again and again until you have lots of commits. You’ll still need to probably test each one but the majority of the work is done
Git absorb takes changes on the top of your stack and magically finds which commit in your stack the each chunk should belong to and amends it to the right commit
You also need git branchless https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless as it lets you move up and down the stack without needing to remember so much git arcana.
