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.

Mise is a polyglot tool version manager
Where are you getting "mise uses asdf" from? mise is simply compatible with all asdf plugins. Not the same thing.
It's even said almost at the top of the README.md in the "30 seconds demo" section:
"The following shows using mise to install different versions of node. Note that calling which node gives us a real path to node, not a shim."
https://github.com/jdx/mise?tab=readme-ov-file#30-second-dem...
So yes, mise does not use shims. It only manipulates $PATH. I did benchmarks a while ago and that definitely and consistently has shaved some milliseconds off of the startup times of my tools.

Install Asdf: One Runtime Manager to Rule All Dev Environments
mise borrows the plugins from asdf, which also makes it non-cross platform. Interesting discussion on this topic on their GitHub: https://github.com/jdx/mise/discussions/66
Solutions considered include adopting the vfox plugin system or transpiling all asdf plugins to ShellJs.
Now I know that vfox exists.

Pyenv – lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Python
Why not just use a tool like asdf (https://asdf-vm.com/) or mise (https://mise.jdx.dev/)?
These tools have the advantage of not being multi-taskers and can manage version for all your tools. You wouldn’t need pyenv and npm and rvm and…
We’ve even started committing the .mise.toml files for projects to our repos. That way, since we work on multiple projects that may need multiple versions of the same tool, it’s handled and documented.

Difftastic, a structural diff tool that understands syntax
direnv + mise does exactly that. When I cd to various directories I get different env vars, it's pretty neat. Setting aliases would just be a case of adding them.
https://github.com/jdx/mise/discussions/1525 for an example of how I use direnv with mise.

Show HN: Flox 1.0 – Open-source dev env as code with Nix
Not nix based, but I really like https://github.com/jdx/mise too to manage dev tools.
It’s a modern version of https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf written in Rust.

A Journey to Find an Ultimate Development Environment
The purpose of a version manager is to help you navigate or install any tools for development easily. Version Manager can be one tool for each dependency (e.g. NVM, g) or One tool for all dependencies (e.g. asdf, mise).

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
I'm currently waiting on the integration between Delta and Difftastic:
https://github.com/dandavison/delta/issues/535
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. :)

How to use Git?
For looking at diffs I still prefer the command line though, and use delta to view diffs between commits or branches.
What are some alternatives?
asdf - Extendable version manager with support for Ruby, Node.js, Elixir, Erlang & more
diff-so-fancy - Good-lookin' diffs. Actually… nah… The best-lookin' diffs. :tada:
pyenv-win - pyenv for Windows. pyenv is a simple python version management tool. It lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Python. It's simple, unobtrusive, and follows the UNIX tradition of single-purpose tools that do one thing well.
