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.

solidity-template: a modern Solidity contract template utilizing Foundry and Hardhat
In Git Consensus, we accept commits and parse out the address to create a mapping between them. In the unit tests, we can check the basic address parsing logic. But to actually test out the full user interactions of an OSS project onboarding to be a DAO and do token rewards for commits, we need to actually build a Git repo from the ground up - using JavaScript tools like nodegit to do so.

JavaScript News and Updates of January 2022
Early this month, the malicious attack on free-to-use libraries, namely color.js and faker.js, created a real uproar in the development community. These tools are used in thousands of projects and their downloading rate from npm is estimated in millions per week. To everyone’s surprise, it turned out to be an inside job. Marak Squires, the creator of these libraries, intentionally committed malicious code to his projects and published updated codebases on GitHub and npm. It is said that this sabotage was caused by unsuccessful attempts of Mr. Squires to monetize his projects. Fortunately, malicious packages were quickly removed and the attacker’s account was suspended. The story sparked a new wave of discussion in the development community on possible steps to make the development and maintenance of open-source projects more sustainable.

This is not normal.
Sorry little boy--- I needed to update my LinkedIn profile, hire a professional to write my resume and photograph me, and work on an open-source project no one will use (or worse- work on something everyone uses)"

Is there something wrong with OpenSource model?
So people, I've been reading the news regarding some great packages on GitHub, like the Colors and the Faker. I understand that this isn't related entirely with the linux community, but it is something that we should pay attention.

Re: the faker.js debacle: A daily reminder that htmx & hyperscript are dependency free
A developer appears to have purposefully corrupted a pair of open-source libraries on GitHub and software registry npm — “faker.js” and “colors.js” — that thousands of users depend on, rendering any project that contains these libraries useless, as reported by Bleeping Computer.

Open source developer corrupts widely-used libraries, affecting tons of projects
I mean he also maliciously changed all of the links on a faker.js issue to point to conspiracy theories (which I am pretty sure is against Github's TOS): https://github.com/Marak/faker.js/pull/2

The EndGame - Fakerjs
About Four (4) Days Ago, the Author of Fakerjs a popular JavaScript library with more than 2 million weekly Download from NPM Deleted the repository and replaced it with one that only has the modified ReadMe "What really happened with Aaron Swartz?" and no content, and pushed an empty package to npm as the latest version (6.6.6).
- Marak, creator of faker.js who recently deleted the project due to lack of funding and abuse of open source projects/developers pushed some strange Anti American update which has an infinite loop
- Marak adds infinite loop test to popular colors.js
