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.

GitHub Actions: a New Hope in YAML Wasteland
The one thing missing from the action.yml spec is the type of each input parameter. We are currently adding this information in our repository but it would be much better if it could live in your own repository in a action-types.yml file as some nice earlly adopters already do.

Optimizing GitHub Actions Performance: Enhance Workflows with Caching
Use Cache Actions: GitHub Actions provides cache actions that simplify caching implementation. The @actions/cache JavaScript library is a popular choice for managing caching in workflows. It offers flexible options for storing and retrieving cache artifacts based on keys, scopes, and paths.

How I Sliced Deployment Times to a Fraction and Achieved Lightning-Fast Deployments with GitHub Actions
By utilizing the actions/cache action action, we implemented a strategy to store and retrieve dependencies, preventing redundant installations.

Use GitHub Actions to Make Your GitHub Profile Dynamic
I do think it's good practice to enable caching, such that your script doesn't hit RubyGems / pip / npm / etc every time it runs.
That way at least the automation activity stays entirely within the GitHub / Azure network.
It looks like you can do that for Ruby by adding this:

runner image with MS office installed - do-able? is there a better way?
You could try to find some point in the process where you can set up Actions caches with actions/cache, otherwise Container customization for Self-Hosted Runners is currently in Beta.

The strongest principle of the blog's growth lies in the human choice to deploy it
In the copied example, npm caching is done via actions/cache@v2 action. But we can simplify our workflow by dropping this step and using built-in functionality for caching
