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, 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.

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.

Gitless a simple VCS built on top of Git
Perhaps we haven't found the correct abstraction yet.

Show HN: Gut – An easy-to-use CLI for Git
I have many great ideas for improving Gut, which I've detailed in a recent blog post.
https://github.com/julien040/gut/blob/main/future_of_gut.md
- Gut: An easy-to-use CLI for git built with Golang
What are some alternatives?
graphite-cli - Graphite's CLI makes creating and submitting stacked changes easy.
cligpt - Terminal autocomplete integation with GPT
jj - A Git-compatible VCS that is both simple and powerful
multi-gitter - Update multiple repositories in with one command
magit - It's Magit! A Git Porcelain inside Emacs.
lazygit - simple terminal UI for git commands
vimagit - Ease your git workflow within Vim
gitmoji - An emoji guide for your commit messages. 😜
Chrono - A git time machine, it automatically commits in a temporary branch every time a costumizable event occurs, so that rolling-back to a specific point in time is always possible if anything goes wrong.
libgit2 - A cross-platform, linkable library implementation of Git that you can use in your application.
