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.

Ask HN: Can we do better than Git for version control?
We've been working on a data version control system called "oxen" optimized for large unstructured datasets that we are seeing more and more with the advent of many of the generative AI techniques.
Many of these datasets have many many images, videos, audio files, text as well as structured tabular datasets that git or git-lfs just falls flat on.
Would love anyone to kick the tires on it and let us know what you think:
https://github.com/Oxen-AI/oxen-release
The commands are mirrored after git so it is easy to learn, but optimized under the hood for larger datasets.

Super cool! Would love to see an integration with Oxen and their data version control https://github.com/Oxen-AI/oxen-release

Ask HN: Data Management for AI Training
We have been working on a data version control tool called Oxen that is tackling many of your needs. Feel free to check it out here:
https://github.com/Oxen-AI/oxen-release#-oxen
Going down your list of requirements, Oxen has:
* Data versioning, similar paradigm to git, but built from the ground up for large ML datasets

A tale of Phobos – how we almost cracked a ransomware using CUDA
We've been working on some open source tooling called "oxen" that was built for large datasets of images, video, audio, text etc. We wanted to solve the exact problem you're flagging here with git.
Feel free to check it out here https://github.com/Oxen-AI/oxen-release#-oxen would love any feedback!

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
