How to read code on github?
For the first repository, gnucash, it appears to be a C++ application. The common convention for a C++ app is to have the "main()" function inside a source file with the same name as the library, e.g. "gnucash.cpp". And sure enough, here it is. If I didn't think to guess that it was in that file, I could always just download the repository and do a CTRL-F for "main(". That would lead me to it immediately.

Anyone remember the old software program, Microsoft Money?
I also use GnuCash as accounting package (since 2008) for my business and it's great. Never had any issue with it.

Firefly III: A free and open source personal finance manager
There is some experimental work being done with SimpleFIN integration[1] for US banks but I can't comment on how well that works.
Personally, I add each transaction manually. It allows me to stay on top my budget.

Mint: what are you using to budget (auto tracking spending categories and net-worth) now that Mint is ending
But several months ago I went back to check out Actual budget which was a sort of YNAB-clone whose author decided to release as open source. If you are comfortable with a bit of command line work, you can install it easily enough running as a hosted service in the free tier of a provider. I'm running in fly.io (docs for that are here). It was a bit fiddly trying to get set up for the first time, but the docs are detailed, and since I got it working it's been flawless and easy.
