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.

Debian Git Monorepo
It's not only Windows that uses Git at Microsoft, but Sharepoint and Office (which includes the on-prem version of SharePoint). In terms of repo size Windows and Office are similar. I was part of the team that migrated Sharepoint from a Perforce clone to Git and helped build the tooling to allow Office to move as well. VFS for Git [1] and Scalar [2] are really good pieces of software.

Serving a Website from a Git Repo Without Cloning It
Congratulations! That means you basically figured out how the clone procedure works and found a way to do so just in a partial way (also in an unsafe way). But it is a cool idea, nonetheless.
Also check out the Scalar [1] project and its predecessor, GVFS [2], both from Microsoft to manage their monorepo via a VFS layer.

Software for managing config files
You mean like VFSforGit? Or the successor for that called Scalar? This has been a solved problem. Microsoft moved their entire Windows codebase to git. There have been a ton of huge improvements to performance as a result of that. And the above two plugins are easily better ways to deal with what you're referring to without resulting to dead tech.

WebKit Migrates from Subversion to GitHub
I was just looking at Microsoft's git VFS (https://github.com/microsoft/VFSForGit), which is deprecated and now points to Scalar (https://github.com/microsoft/scalar), which is also deprecated? What's Microsoft's story with git now? Is there still a virtual file system involved?

An ex-Googler's guide to dev tools
Microsoft has/had a mono-repo based on the Git Virtual Filesystem, but future efforts have apparently moved towards the use of Scalar: https://github.com/microsoft/scalar

Improve Git monorepo performance with a file system monitor
This has been superceded by Scalar (https://github.com/microsoft/scalar) and again merged into Microsoft's fork of git (https://github.com/microsoft/git)
It supports neat stuff like partial clone which seems like a pretty big deal.

We Put Half a Million Files in One Git Repository, Here’s What We Learned
As mentioned in the blog "we are moving towards providing a known version of git", probably Microsoft Git which includes the scalar command but also upstreams many of the optimizations to git core https://github.com/microsoft/scalar#why-did-scalar-move

💡Automatic Deployment of your project dependencies updates on GCP : Efficiency vs. Cost?
This month, I gave a talk with my Zenika colleague Lise at the DevoxxFR conference about Renovate and Dependabot, two great tools to help you automatize and upgrade your dependencies.

How use Renovate Bot on self-hosted GitLab
There is no built-in Renovate Bot on a self-hosted GitLab. What can we do to set it up and enjoy all the benefits of automatic dependency updates?
-
Self-Hosted Is Awesome
> Yes, it is awesome until you have to sysadmin it, apply updates, patch it, fix security holes, etc. I am not saying all self-hosted solutions are like that. There are exceptions. However, the majority of open-source self-hosted solutions require a lot of extra work.
I'm currently self-hosting 10 different applications on my local server, which represents everything I've ever seen that looked fun or useful to me. Every one of them had a Docker image with an example compose file, which means updating them just requires periodically running Renovate [0] on the repo that stores all my compose files and then running a script that docker compose pulls the updates. It takes maybe 10 minutes every other week, and is actually kinda fun.
It helps that all the apps are only accessible from within my VPN, so I'm not too worried about fixing security updates within a tiny time window.

Why I recommend Renovate over any other dependency update tools
This is a big deal! Where did you read this? I found:

Unfork with ArgoCD
It is a good practice to keep software up to date. To track changes in upstream software, we can utilize automatic dependency tracking systems such as Dependabot or Renovate. This is a broad topic and requires a separate article to be covered. If you would like to read about it, please vote in the comments section below.
