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.

STB: Single-file public domain libraries for C/C++
there's glad (https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad) which you can use as a single .c file + .h header that defines OpenGL stuff or a single header-only file. I use it on all of my OpenGL projects!

How do I enable anisotropic filtering with GLAD?
If you run into a similar issue with another extension, you need to manually add extensions when generating the GLAD loader.

Exploring Computer Graphics: Weekly Chronicle #1
GLEW/GLAD: Libraries that manage and give access to OpenGL functions and extensions. The difference is that GLAD allows for greater flexibility & customization for more recent versions of OpenGL. However, the Udemy course that I'm following uses GLEW and at least at this point, I prefer to follow along with the tools that each resource recommends.

Implications of running OpenGL inside a VM(parallels) on a Mac
I downloaded glad from this website : http://glad.dav1d.de/ I was also referring to this tutorial to setup my project : https://learnopengl.com/Getting-started/Creating-a-window

How do you setup OpenGL?
Not sure what you're asking, what is your end goal? If you opt for glfw look at the glfw docs: https://www.glfw.org/documentation.html and/or https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad/blob/glad2/example/c/gl_glfw.c for GLAD

Modern OpenGL loading library solution
Just link to GLAD if you're going to link to it! https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad
- When I compile my program, it has a problem with my include statement for the GLFW header file.

I (Putnam) put an up-to-date version of the graphics portion of Dwarf Fortress on Github, including the upcoming SDL2 version on a branch
glew is a GL extension/loading library, OP didn't write glew, personally I use GLAD (https://glad.dav1d.de/) in my projects, which is pretty much the same thing but auto-generated for you based on your project requirements.

including opengl header file but can't use its functions
In general nobody really uses the gl headers because they are super outdated and, i believe, only use Microsoft's software renderer for OpenGL. You should use a OpenGL function loader like GLAD instead.

Is setting up C+OpenGL with VSC really that hard?
Just use a library like glad which loads everything at runtime under the hood (even system OpenGL runtime, no need to link anything). For a quick start, there is a website to generate headers and a single glad.c to put in your project: https://glad.dav1d.de/

What files from glm's github do I need to add to my emscripten project?
I am a greenhorn at graphics programming. I just made an app in OpenGL with C++ that I now need to change over to a browser app with WebGL. WebGL looks pretty cool but since my app does a lot of calculations I assumed I should keep the heavier calculating parts in C++ with emscripten ( which I am also just learning ). So looking at it, it just looks like glm is the only library I seriously need for my c++ code and that seems pretty cool because it is a header only app it says. But in the github there are a lot of folders and files so I am not sure which are indispensable or not. Any advice?

What is a file with the .i.hh extension such as myfile.i.hh used for in a C++ project?
GLM does it quite well, it has core includes then a detail folder with all the inl files that get added. https://github.com/g-truc/glm

Porting to metal?
I once ported an OpenGL code base over to Metal. For me, it was essential to do as much code sharing as possible. Because I was using the GLM library in that code base and generally found that library very useful I wanted to know whether I can use GLM with Metal. I had to do some research but it turned out it works really well, see here

Learning DirectX 12 in 2023
Alongside MiniEngine, you’ll want to look into the DirectX Toolkit. This is a set of utilities by Microsoft that simplify graphics and game development. It contains libraries like DirectXMesh for parsing and optimizing meshes for DX12, or DirectXMath which handles 3D math operations like the OpenGL library glm. It also has utilities for gamepad input or sprite fonts. You can see a list of the headers here to get an idea of the features. You’ll definitely want to include this in your project if you don’t want to think about a lot of these solved problems (and don’t have to worry about cross-platform support).
What are some alternatives?
glew - The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library
Eigen
GLFW - A multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan, window and input
