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.

My 2023 Terminal, Shell and Command-Line Toolbox
A lot of the tools in the post build on top of standard unix tools and are like for like (better) replacements. Many of them have been pulled from the Modern Unix repo on Github.

TIL you can do `cat -n file` to easily see line numbers when looking at a file
Plug to modern unix, a collection of utilities that modernize "standard" nix utilities (combination of faster, prettier, easier to use, as well as sensible defaults like highlighting and line numbers when not piped).

What are some things you can do in the terminal for entertainment?
I google something like "Modern Unix", open blogs, and try to find a "life-changing" tool that I haven't tried yet. Then I spend 1 day reading man how to apply this unreal tool to my current work environment setup. Ultimately, I'm sad because I wasted 1 day, but the process is fun enough to do it again tomorrow. This is like distro-hopping but tool-hopping. Now I have fzf, bat, helix, zoxide etc, but that's just the beginning of my tool-hopping :)

erdtree: A modern, multi-threaded, and ️🌈aesthetic️🌈 alternative to tree and du - v1.7.0 release ️
While this is not at all comprehensive of all the cool tools out there, there's this list which has a lot of modern alternatives to all of the modern Unix commands we know and love, most of which are written in Rust.

LeanCreator - a lean, cross-platform, single file IDE for C/C++
Yeah, fine, since Go and Rust it is common to have this "one file app" that you put in $PATH and call it a day. Now, how many of those are not a single CLI utility (e.g. a replacement for top/ls/du or other UNIX utility), and are full blown GUI app? Not so many. None that I can think of from the top of my head, actually.

Hyperfine: A command-line benchmarking tool
hyperfine is such a great tool that it's one of the first I reach for when doing any sort of benchmarking.
I encourage anyone who's tried hyperfine and enjoyed it to also look at sharkdp's other utilities, they're all amazing in their own right with fd[1] being the one that perhaps get the most daily use for me and has totally replaced my use of find(1).

Z – Jump Around
You call it with `n` and get an interactive fuzzy search for your directories. If you do `n ` instead, it’ll start the find with `` already filled in (and if there’s only one match, jump to it directly). The `ls` is optional but I find that I like having the contents visible as soon as I change a directory.
I’m also including iCloud Drive but excluding the Library directory as that is too noisy. I have a separate `nl` function which searches just inside `~/Library` for when I need it, as well as other specialised `n` functions that search inside specific places that I need a lot.

Unix as IDE: Introduction (2012)
Many (most?) of them have been overhauled with success. For find there is fd[1]. There's batcat, exa (ls), ripgrep, fzf, atuin (history), delta (diff) and many more.
Most are both backwards compatible and fresh and friendly. Your hardwon muscle memory still of good use. But there's sane flags and defaults too. It's faster, more colorful (if you wish), better integration with another (e.g. exa/eza or aware of git modifications). And, in my case, often features I never knew I needed (atuin sync!, ripgrep using gitignore).

My "solution" to this is using https://github.com/sharkdp/fd (even when in zsh and having glob support). I'm not sure if using a tool that's not present by default would be suitable for your use cases, but if you're considering alternate shells, I suspect you might be

Bfs 3.0: The Fastest Find Yet
Nice to see other alternatives to find. I personally use fd (https://github.com/sharkdp/fd) a lot, as I find the UX much better. There is one thing that I think could be better, around the difference between "wanting to list all files that follow a certain pattern" and "wanting to find one or a few specific files". Technically, those are the same, but an issue I'll often run into is wanting to search something in dotfiles (for example the Go tools), use the unrestricted mode, and it'll find the few files I'm looking for, alongside hundreds of files coming from some cache/backup directory somewhere. This happens even more with rg, as it'll look through the files contents.
I'm not sure if this is me not using the tool how I should, me not using Linux how I should, me using the wrong tool for this job, something missing from the tool or something else entirely. I wonder if other people have this similar "double usage issue", and I'm interested in ways to avoid it.
