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: Fix – An open source cloud asset inventory for cloud security engineers
I dunno if this interests you, but you actually have influence over the formatting of https://github.com/someengineering/fix-cf/blob/main/fix-role... via .gitattributes communicating to GH that it's actually yaml: https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist/blob/master/docs...

TIL: Github seems to recognize ebuilds as a format. Is this a new github feature? Or has this been here since forever?

Where the hell do I have any vb in my configs?
I have found that: https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md, but I'm also currently not at home, so I will check it out later.

What is the proper language markup type we should use for a MakeFile code snippet?
Another option is to use Linguist which is what GitHub uses (I use linguist via .gitattributes files for all of my code projects). It is community driven and supports essentially every language possible: see languages.yml.

Finding projects on GitHub: Topics, Languages, and Collections
Once you selected a topic you can further filter the projects by language. This means programming language as recognized by the linguist tool of GitHub. See what they say about repository languages

Track my coding progress on GitHub with a .NET Worker Service
As I later found out, GitHub uses the Linguist library to measure the amount of lines written in a specific language... which is still pretty magic 🪄.

Code Search Is Hard
If you ever leave you can use Livegrep, which was based on code-search work done at Google. I personally don't use it right now but it's great and will probably meet all your needs.

Sourcegraph is no longer Open Source
[4] is not really a usable 'product'. Livegrep (https://github.com/livegrep/livegrep) was inspired by it and is very usable.
[3] used to be a Google open source project as well, but it fell out of maintenance, and Sourcegraph took it over. It powers most of the basic regex/literal search in Sourcegraph.
Mozilla's code is searchable in Searchfox (https://searchfox.org/) which uses the indexer from Livegrep, combined with their own Git indexer and language-specific cross reference databases.
OpenGrok (https://github.com/oracle/opengrok) is also rather well known, but I have found it to have a slightly worse UI than alternatives.

Are there any good full text searching tools? I need to search against a huge amount of source code. I'm using ripgrep. The problem is that every time I search, it has to read every file again, which is kind of slow. Is there a FT searching tool that is designed with source code searching in mind.
Yes, you want https://github.com/livegrep/livegrep

Facebook open sources Glean: a scalable code search and query engine
If you've not had to deal with a codebase that takes VSCode longer than a few minutes to index, then you're probably outside their initial target market. If you've not had to setup a hosted code search tool (eg livegrep https://github.com/livegrep/livegrep ) because there's just too much code,
