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.

Pijul: Version-Control Post-Git • Goto 2023
I'm not seeing a git compatibility layer? So I think it's a neat project, but I probably won't try it because nearly all code is rooted squarely in git. Even if Pijul is perfect, you'd need to convince everyone else to use it.
Nevertheless, the increased interest in moving to patch based workflows from branch based ones is great. There's a lot of similar tools here (https://github.com/gitext-rs/git-stack/blob/main/docs/compar...) which I refer to infrequently.
Personally my favorite tool for living-with-the-reality-that-is-branches is git-machete (https://github.com/VirtusLab/git-machete).

Highlights from Git 2.38
This is huge. I've wasted so much time on this, I wrote my own tool. No idea how thoroughly they've implemented this though (what all corner cases does it update or not)

In Praise of Stacked PRs
> Probably some arcane git magic to (interactively) rebase branch
There is not really a command for that yet, short of adding a bunch of `exec` steps to your interactive rebase manually. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32217204 for an upcoming command.
You might enjoy using https://github.com/gitext-rs/git-stack, which specifically tries to let you manage stacked branches locally while not exposing tons of PRs to your coworkers.
git-branchless itself also lets you manage stacked branches in various ways. For example, you can do `git checkout `, `git commit --amend`, and then `git restack` to rebase all the descendant branches sensibly. You can use it on the local side of things only and then use Github PRs as normal.

Termgraph 0.1 released
I've been using termtree in my applications but I'm needing something more like git log --graph for git stack but haven't found a general purpose one (there is an implementation inside of git branchless) and haven't had a chance to make one myself.

Git PR management Tooling
Got a comparison of tools in this space at https://github.com/gitext-rs/git-stack/blob/main/docs/comparison.md

🗓 ⬇️ Lost in a sea of local branches? `--sort` might help!
I try to keep the number of branches down but git-stack provides something like git log --graph that collapses branches from other users and old branches, keeping the main view clean.

Code Review Decision Fatigue
Checkout https://github.com/gitext-rs/git-stack/blob/main/docs/compar... (note, the tool hosting this page is not included but as the author).
As the author of git stack, with all relevant biases, I recommend
- git stack for automating what you are already doing
- git branchless for more power at the risk of incombatibilities because its only as good as the data fed to git hooks
- jj if your open to something very different
