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.

A nano like text editor built with pure C
Most of that is probably attributable to being based on Kilo: https://github.com/antirez/kilo (kinda strange they didn't link directly in their readme) - a tiny text editor written by antirez who notably also created Redis. Antirez has a bunch of really interesting side projects if you dig into their github repo.

Micro – A Modern Alternative to Nano
Yeah, "micro" for an editor would be 11 kilo bytes. I bet it's possible to do a half-decent editor in C in 11KB. Antirez's "kilo" (~1000 lines of C) is 36KB when compiled with standard gcc (https://github.com/antirez/kilo).
That said, for many server-type use cases these days, 11MB isn't a huge deal. Still, I wonder if micro could be compiled on / ported to TinyGo and end up a few hundred KB? It looks like TinyGo can produce some pretty small binaries: https://tinygo.org/docs/guides/optimizing-binaries/

What happens when you press a key in your terminal?
Anyone interested in the machinations of all of this terminal stuff should look at antirez’ kilo, a terminal text editor in under 1000 lines of code: https://github.com/antirez/kilo
There is a nice tutorial that walks through how one might write it from scratch: https://viewsourcecode.org/snaptoken/kilo/

A simple terminal game
I always wondered how people get stuff animated on the terminal but I never had the time to look into it up until a few years ago when someone on the internet released an awesome guide on how to create a text editor in less than 1000 lines of C. What caught my attention about this was that it was based on Antirez' kilo - which is a terminal based editor.

Ask HN: How to learn about text editor architectures and implementations?
You could start by looking at something super simple like Kilo:
https://github.com/antirez/kilo
Even I could understand this one pretty well and that's no small matter.

Ginkgo: A WIP small text editor built entirely in Rust with cursor control and select Vim features
I just started learning Rust 2 weeks ago, and I wanted to apply my learning towards a project.Ginkgo is a small text editor built entirely in Rust. It takes inspiration from the famous tiny C-based text editor, Kilo. It also includes many Vim inspired keybindings and features such as normal/insert modes. For convenience, it also has added mouse cursor support!

So You Think You Know Git – Git Tips and Tricks by Scott Chacon
Thanks for the difftastic & zoxide tips.
However, I've been using this git pager/difftool: https://github.com/dandavison/delta
While it's not structural like difft, it does produce more readable output for me (at least when scrolling fast through git log -p /scanning quickly

Unified versus Split Diff

Difftastic now has JSON output, whic should make it much easier to build this.

Magit
I'm surely in the minority here. I've been using Emacs for almost a decade now, but I just can't get into the Magit workflow. I've tried several times, but always end up going back to Git on the command line. I have dozens of aliases, shell integrations, a nice diff viewer[1], etc., and interacting with Git has become muscle memory. I can commit, cherry-pick, rebase, bisect, fix conflicts, etc., in a fraction of the time it would take me to navigate Magit's UI. I'm sure with enough practice, a Magit user could do this more quickly and efficiently, but honestly, with some custom-built porcelain, Git's UI is not so bad. Though this could very well be Stockholm syndrome after using it for such a long time...
For whatever reason, Magit's opinionated workflows never clicked with me. A part of it is the concern that it will do something weird to my repo that I'll then have to waste more time undoing manually. I usually don't trust sugary wrappers around tools. And another is the fact I don't use Emacs on all machines, and setting up Git on a remote system is just a matter of copying over my config and some shell integrations.
Also, on a more personal note, I find the cultish fanboyism whenever Magit is brought up slightly offputting. Does anyone have anything bad to say about it? No software can realistically be this infallible. :)
