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.

Autodafe: "freeing your freeing your project from the clammy grip of autotools."
> you need to "edit your makefile". That isn't going to work for distributions
Is it not? [st] requires exactly that. And distros seem to have no issues shipping it.

Tabby: A terminal for a more modern age
I am fundamentally and ideologically opposed to using a terminal emulator implemented in electron.

How to make simple terminal transparent
You can use different forks of the ST. I, for example, use this one, already with the necessary patches https://github.com/mrdotx/st

Warp? A terminal behind login popup
My journey of using terminal emulators began together with my introduction to Linux about 7 years ago. GNOME terminal was my first as it came pre-installed on Ubuntu, my first Linux distribution. Since then, I've had the opportunity to explore and utilize a range of terminal emulators, including Alacritty, Kitty, st, Konsole, xterm, and most recently iTerm2. It's been interesting to experiment with these different emulators, each offering its unique features (or similar however with each with personal touch), user interfaces, and performance benchmarks. Just the other day, a new terminal emulator caught my attention: Warp Terminal. My curiosity won, and Warp was downloaded, this short blog are my thoughts about Warp terminal. At the moment there is only support for macOS, however linux and windows builds are on the way.

XTerm: It's Better Than You Thought (2021)
For those looking for a minimal VT100 terminal emulator without the legacy baggage of Xterm, I highly recommend checking out Suckless Software’s st: https://st.suckless.org/
-
circles.nvim - v2.0.1
That last reference builds off of the work of the other two. It also breaks down how NOT modern Xterm is, but, if I've read it correctly, it confirms that its input latency is low compared to all other tested terminal emulators, including Alacritty and ST, which humorously and justifiably thrashes Xterm on its homepage for being a bloated program. Its not a good choice for everyone: it has poor right-to-left text and Unicode support, making working with Chinese, Arabic, and other alphabets not great, I've read.
- Are there any resources you would recommend for someone trying to make a terminal emulator in C and x11?

Which terminal do you usually use?
ST is a favorite of some fervent minimalists. I do not think you would like it.

Atuin – Magical Shell History
Agreed, I use this in conjunction with Starship [1], both initialized specifically for Fish in the config. I love this shell so much.

Z – Jump Around
It seems like the Rust community is quite happy to support alternative shells. I’ve seen couple of projects, now, that support way more esoteric shells than I would expect, like ’xonsh’. Starship (https://starship.rs/) immediately comes to mind.

[MacOS] Setting up zsh in MacOS, any hints, dos/don'ts, advice, or guides?
Until now I have been using bash on Windows with Starship as the prompt. The only reason I went with Starship, is that it was easy to setup and at the time I did not have much free time to devout to the shell/prompt configuration.

Organizing Multiple Git Identities
I use conditional includes for this, but I also add a single letter describing which Git identity I'm currently using to my PS1 so that it appears before $ in my shell prompt. This prevents me from committing code with the wrong identity, in case I'm using a git checkout that's anywhere not covered by the conditional include rules.
I use Starship (https://starship.rs) to manage my prompt, and wrote a short script that only runs if I'm somewhere in a git repo, and if so finds my Git user's email and looks up the corresponding letter in an associative array declared in my ~/.config/starship-zsh/.zshenv:
git_email=$(git config --get user.email | perl -pe 'chomp if eof')
