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.

Show HN: Gogit – Just enough Git (in Go) to push itself to GitHub
I interpret "aims to be fully compatible" as meaning the operations it implements are intended to be compatible with how Git implements those operations. I do not interpret this statement as saying they implement all features of Git.
They offer a document which directly shows what is and isn't supported, and it specifically notes quite a few things that aren't supported yet: https://github.com/go-git/go-git/blob/master/COMPATIBILITY.m...
The godoc also says right upfront it "nowadays covers the majority of the plumbing read operations and some of the main write operations, but lacks the main porcelain operations such as merges." - https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-git/go-git/v5#pkg-overview
> I'm saying it's not a reasonable choice over just using git directly, and is unlikely to ever be.
OK, that's apparently true for your use-case. But again, what go-git implements is directly useful to a number of very popular projects, as well as literally two thousand less popular ones.
I find the exported functionality to be high quality, at least for my own use-case. I'm not commenting on the code quality. If I need a shed for bikes, and someone is giving out free but ugly bikesheds, I'm thankful. I don't complain about the color of the bikeshed.

Git framework/library for Java
The go frameworks has some particular limitations at the moment (merge, rebase https://github.com/go-git/go-git/blob/master/COMPATIBILITY.md) but overall great framework.Used for some go tools..

Is there a way to clone remote git repositories programmatically with go, without the need to import a whole dependency for that?
I'm remaking a package named owl. One of the features of this package is the ability to clone remote repositories. The first time I affront this problem, I solved it using go.Cmd and git command. Is there a way to achieve something similar without importing or using a dependency like go-git. Something like download files via http, ssh or something similar.

Git as back end for applications like Figma and Google Docs
I think there are already some Git SDKs out there. For example https://github.com/go-git/go-git

Kitsch-Prompt - golang based cross-platform shell prompt
I see that you’re using go-git, which has a problem with worktree.Status being unusably slow—and in a prompt you’ll most certainly need to use it. I know because I tried writing my prompt using go-git, and had it hang on a work repo for a good minute. Eventually bit the bullet and switched to git2go (libgit2 bindings; uses cgo).

Radicle: Open-Source, Peer-to-Peer, GitHub Alternative
Everything that is replicated on the network is stored as a Git object, using the libgit2[0] library. This library uses hardened SHA-1 internally, which is called sha1dc (for "detect collision").

Speedbump – a TCP proxy to simulate variable network latency
This is delightful and I can't wait to try it out. Right now, the libgit2 project (https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2) has a custom HTTP git server wrapper that will throttle the responses down to a very slow rate. It's fun watching a `git clone` running over 2400 baud modem speeds, but it's actually been incredibly helpful for testing timeouts, odd buffering problems, and other things that crop up in weird network environments.
I'd love to jettison our hacky custom code and use something off-the-shelf instead.

GitKraken Client Is Migrating from Libgit2 to the Git Executable
I've built a UI on top of libgit2 and I wish that this blog post expanded on which new features are missing (sparse checkout?).
To quote: "The migration to Git Executable will allow us to resolve long-standing issues with GitKraken Client, such as poor LFS performance, SSH configuration support and many other features/performance improvements."
I agree on LFS performance on Windows. SSH config support is a pain due to libssh2 but openssh support is on the way (https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6617).
There are many cons to using the Git executable itself (parsing output, error reporting, version handling). Seems to me that there's more to this?

Mold 2.0.0
I'm curious about the license change? This is an executable is it not? Invoking it as a separate process does not require you make the software calling it GPL so switching to MIT should have no affect in the common case.
If the authors really wanted a more permissive license, then instead of relicensing from AGPL to MIT they should have gone AGPL with linking exception. An example of a project that does this is libgit2 [1]. This licensing is more permissive but still permits the author to sell commercial licenses to those making closed-source code changes.

I'm feeling lazy today but want a better excuse than "working on documention" for the morning standup.
Using libxlsxwriter and libgit, it's straightforward -- just putting the equivalent of git shortlog and lines added and removed into a line of cells.
