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.

fdupes: Identify or Delete Duplicate Files
fdupes is really nice and fast, but (as far as I remember) it was lacking two features that I needed for my use case, which were 1°/ list duplicate dirs (without listing all of the duplicate sub-contents), and 2°/ being able to identify that all the contents in one dir would be included in another part of the FS (regardless of files/dir structures), which is particularly useful when you have a bigmess/ directory that you progressively sort-out in a clean/ directory. Said differently : fdupes helps to regain space but was not able to help me much to cleanup a messy drive...
This is why I wrote https://github.com/karteum/kindfs (which indexes the fs into an sqlite DB and then enables various ways to process it).

Go Find Duplicates: blazingly-fast simple-to-use tool to find duplicate files
FWIW if people are interested, I wrote https://github.com/karteum/kindfs for the purpose of indexing the hard drive, with the following goals
fclones
- Fclones: Parallel duplicate files finder in Rust with reflink support
- Fclones: Efficient Duplicate File Finder
- fdupes: Identify or Delete Duplicate Files

making duplicate files hard links, probably rdfind
I said "fclone" I meant "fclones" (https://github.com/pkolaczk/fclones) -- I missed the "s" at the end

Use `dano` to find duplicate media files
While we're recommending stuff, fclones: https://github.com/pkolaczk/fclones

Pip and cargo are not the same
Yes, that would be safer when available (although generally files within library dependencies are not modified I think?). It looks like fclones implements this, is faster and is written in Rust https://github.com/pkolaczk/fclones (the last is the most important point of course /s).
- Caf a rust program which filters out duplicate files
What are some alternatives?
rmlint - Extremely fast tool to remove duplicates and other lint from your filesystem
jdupes - A powerful duplicate file finder and an enhanced fork of 'fdupes'.
rdfind - find duplicate files utility
dude - Duplicates Detector is a cross-platform GUI utility for finding duplicate files, allowing you to delete or link them to save space. Duplicate files are displayed and processed on two synchronized panels for efficient and convenient operation.
czkawka - Multi functional app to find duplicates, empty folders, similar images etc.
fdupes - FDUPES is a program for identifying or deleting duplicate files residing within specified directories.
CompactGUI - Transparently compress active games and programs using Windows 10/11 APIs
