The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

- 20 years of Git. Still weird, still wonderful

What approach helped you to best learn Git?
For me the Peepcode Git Internals book was a great peek under the hood. I went from "Git has a lot of magical incantations" to "Git is pretty simple and I could probably build a version of it".
-
Git as a Beginner
I generally recommend the Peepcode Git Internals book. The first half explains the internals of how Git works, and the second half is a command reference.
- Git book recommendations?
- What Git primitives get SHA-1'd to generate a hash?
-
How well do you guys know Git
Once you get the hang of basic Git operations, you should look into how Git works under the hood. Git Internals helped me a lot on this.
- ⛔ Squash commits considered harmful ⛔

How should i go about learning git?
I often recommend the Peepcode Git Internals book. The first half talks about how Git works internally. The second half is a "how to use Git" tutorial. I think understanding the internals (which aren't really that complicated) can really help to demystify Git.

I was said that I do not know how Git works
Conceptually, Git's not really all that complicated. I always recommend people to read the Peepcode Git Internals book (originally $9, now free): https://github.com/pluralsight/git-internals-pdf/blob/master/drafts/peepcode-git.pdf

would pulling make sense here?
Check out this page if you haven't yet (alternatively, direct link to the PDF.) I hear it's all good, but the Understanding Git chapter is the one I'd specifically point you to.

What are you rewriting in rust?
But I'd suggest joining an existing project instead. This week in Rust has a call for participation section each week. There are also some exciting rewrites like arti, gitoxide, fish, and a steady stream of projects announced in this sub.
- [Gitoxide in May]: Greater pack resolution performance and the beginnings of negotiation algorithms
- [Gitoxide in April] A first step towards `gix status` and `.gitattributes` matching
