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?
> Visual Studio does a decent job of abstracting the GIT nuances, but I personally use GIT Extensions, which looks and feels much better on Windows than the other cross platform UIs.
IDEs and text editors sometimes have nice Git integrations in the UI, but I wanted standalone software that I can use for anything from various programming projects, to something like gamedev projects (with Git LFS) or arbitrary documents.
In the end, I just forked over some money for GitKraken, it's pretty good, especially with multiple accounts on the same platforms, when you want to switch between them easily: https://www.gitkraken.com/
There's also Sourcetree which I used before then, kind of sluggish but feature complete: https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/
For something more lightweight, I also enjoyed Git Cola on various OSes: https://git-cola.github.io/ Even Git documentation has a page on the software out there, a good deal of which is free and has good platform support: https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis
Quite frankly, I spend like 90% of the time using a GUI interface nowadays, when I want to easily merge things, or include very specific code blocks across multiple files in a commit, or handle most of the other common operations. Of course, sometimes there's a need to drop down to the CLI, but you're right that some GUI software feels like it actually improves the usability here.

Why Git Is Hard
I think Git can be a pretty pleasant experience for most folks, as long as you use the basic features and maybe even consider a GUI, anything from Git Cola (free: https://git-cola.github.io/), to something like GitKraken (paid for all features: https://www.gitkraken.com/).
Curiously, the latter also let me setup different accounts that I can switch between with a simple dropdown, which was otherwise annoying when you have Gitea, GitHub, GitLab and others to manage, way easier than https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-an...
Either way, suddenly you see the graph of your repo and most of the common actions are a click away, you can just let your brain idle and think about other things you're doing instead, in addition to that working really well with staging chunks of your code, or individual files, cherrypicking and so on.
Then again, personally I prefer squashing in merge/pull requests instead of rebasing, or even just doing regular merge commits and leaving the history as is (which doesn't really scale, but I haven't gotten to the point where that matters that much), so how I use Git won't work for everyone.

Git-SIM: Visually simulate Git operations in your own repos with a single termi
> We now have a large selection of tools that allow you to visualize what's going on (I use git-kraken), as well as google for help on doing something that isn't in muscle memory.
Git Kraken is excellent, though Git has a page on various GUIs, many of which are free with no restrictions: https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis
Personally, on Windows I like SourceTree: https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/
Some that have worked with SVN back in the day like TortoiseGit: https://tortoisegit.org/
On *nix Git Cola seems to do the job for me: https://git-cola.github.io/
Then again, the most complex workflow I've worked with was Git Flow and I didn't need anything more advanced than that. Come to think of it, I don't really do rebases often either and mostly just take advantage of squashing commits through GitLab/Gitea and such, when needed.
But hey, that's also valid, using Git in a way where you get version control but mostly keep the technical details out of your way (though Git LFS and certain cases with particular line endings being needed does make you drop down occasionally).

Report: More Developers Use Linux Than a Mac
Try git cola. It's not the slickest but it scratches my pointy/clicky desires for git pretty well.
- How can I find someone to explain

Idiot Proof Git
If you can tolerate a GUI, Git Cola might be a solution. I'm using it exclusively for some 5 years now – it's lightweight enough, but still makes you think about what you're about to commit. You can add things to .gitignore directly from there, too.

Default layout is pretty barebones, here's what I'm doing instead: https://u.ale.sh/my-git-cola-screenshot.png

I think the real reason why people think using the terminal is required on Linux is a direct result of the Linux terminal being so much better than the Windows terminal
i still don't know how to split one commit into multiples (without going insane (if it's even possible)) without a gui like https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola, and that should be a simple operation (especially with git's "split every change into individual commits make it easier to cherry pick" conventions)

Planner, a task manager designed for Linux
Not sure where you're looking but source code is here (not sure why they don't link to it?) and last update was about a year ago and there are recent commits.
https://github.com/alainm23/planner
I just discovered this and really like it, it's a huge improvement over GNOME Todo. My only complaint is that it seems to choke on a large number of (completed) tasks. Though that might be more of an issue with Nextcloud not clearing out completed tasks and a lot of caldav apps have this problem.

Nautilus Annotations 2: Emblems are back!
Such time-based information/TODOs are much better stored in a task manager (such as https://useplanner.com/), with an automated notification reminder that alerts you on the date, so that you don't have to think about it until it reminds you.

Not sure if Linux is the right choice for me?
No for the not so good news: Both MS To Do and OneNote are not available officially. You can use the web versions or use unofficial apps such as Kuro. But those are based on the web versions as well. Alternatively there are beautiful apps such as Planer which sync with other platforms (such as ios) via Todoist. The same is true for note taking. The Linux native solution here is Simple Note.
