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.

Mnemonikey | Determinstic PGP key recovery using phrases | v0.0.1 prerelease published
As far as I'm aware, Mnemonikey is the first of its kind, rhyming only with the related but conceptually different passphrase2pgp tool, from which I drew my original inspiration.

OpenPGP master key on Nitrokey Start
I think people should seriously consider using something like passphrase2pgp [0] in addition to a hardware key like this. That way you can have a brain key (hopefully generated with diceware or equivalent) to tie together day-to-day keys like this to a more permanent identity. I'm honestly surprised that strategy is not more widespread.

Seeking feedback: mnemonikey - Determinstic backup and recovery of PGP keys using human-readable phrases.
Check out Chris Wellons' tool passphrase2pgp - it does exactly what you're describing by hashing an arbitrary input passphrase with Argon2.
-
pass: password manager for true geeks. Control everything yourself, sync among devices, enjoy your security. Cheat sheet for setting it up
So the easiest way to synchronize gpg keys I found is https://github.com/skeeto/passphrase2pgp - it generates a deterministic gpg key (also ssh keys, x509 certificates...) from a passphrase. Excellent tool
-
I've locked myself out of my digital life
One way to circumvent this is to use a strong passphrase to deterministically generate the PGP/SSH key [1] to unlock other passwords. The SSH key could grant access to a remote server with backups and the PGP key could decrypt passwords using pass [2].

BIP 39 mnemonic phrase to GPG key?
I know there are tools that can generate GPG from arbitrary inputs, but what I'm really looking for is something with direct compatibility with BIP 39 or (BIP 44) phrases in particular.
-
A GPG key derived from mnemonic phrase?
What if https://github.com/skeeto/passphrase2pgp is not obviously the software to use, or doesn't exist at some later point?
-
charmbracelet/melt: Backup and restore Ed25519 SSH keys with seed words
My own tool, passphrase2pgp works this way. It generates both OpenPGP and SSH Ed25519 keys from a user-chosen passphrase, and it's designed to send the key straight into the ssh-agent on demand.
-
Why did they do it this way?
Derive my keypair entirely from a passphrase, with generous key stretching. I never need to worry about backing up my keys. I later extended this idea to OpenPGP and SSH, where I also exclusively use passphrase-derived keys: passphrase2pgp.
-
What tools / utilities have you written that you use regularly?
passphrase2pgp: for storing my PGP and SSH keys in my brain. Neither ever reside in permanent storage.

Blog: Terminal file managers and my Vifm setup
I've documented some really cool things that vifm can do: https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/vifm.mkd
-
Prevent Thunar from writing lines to config file, or alternatively make git ignore certain lines
So I wrote https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/dac -- 30 lines of shell plus maybe another 30 or 40 of comments, and it does everything I want in a dotfile manager.
-
What tools/methods do you use to track/journal all changes to your (desktop) system?
All this is painlessly taken care of by https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/dac (documentation: https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/dac.mkd)
-
ncdu - ncurses disk usage - see which directories and files are hogging the most space
If you have fzf installed, grab https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/try, and run try dust. Then start typing -t jpg (for example). Then backspace over the jpg and change it to png. Or use some other options.
-
what is the easiest way to backup your config files?
I hesitate to nominate any of them because (a) there are dozens or even hundreds of them and (b) I don't like any of them; I wrote my own because I needed a "hold" feature that no one had (i.e., when propagating changes to the repo, I want to hold back some parts of the change; https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/dac.mkd explains better if you're interested
-
Do you use VIFM?
For those of you who are curious, https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/vifm.mkd is my part "review" and part "tips and tricks" on vifm.
-
What tools / utilities have you written that you use regularly?
Most of my tools are in bash or perl, most of them less than 100 lines of code, (most of them are less than 200 even with comments). https://github.com/sitaramc/notes has all of them (terrible name for a repo full of tools I know; sorry!)

Seeking a terminal file manager
Absolutely vifm. My notes+tips/tricks on this at https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/vifm.mkd
-
Should I use vim or neovim?
https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/dac.mkd for documentation, https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/dac.mkd for code, if you're interested.
-
difference between terminal file managers?
if you're a vim user, you can't go wrong with vifm. My take on vifm is here: https://github.com/sitaramc/notes/blob/master/vifm.mkd -- can't hurt to give it a read (it's a wee bit outdated but not much; probably only the last section needs to be updated)
What are some alternatives?
file-arranger - Simple & capable Directory arranger/cleaner
clifm - The shell-like, command line terminal file manager: simple, fast, extensible, and lightweight as hell.
ffupdate - A shellscript to automatically install and update firefox on linux.
smenu - smenu started as a lightweight and flexible terminal menu generator, but quickly evolved into a powerful and versatile CLI selection tool for interactive or scripting use.
age - A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library) with small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability.
vifm.vim - Vim plugin that allows use of vifm as a file picker
git-tidy - Tidy up stale git branches.
suda.vim - 🥪 An alternative sudo.vim for Vim and Neovim, limited support sudo in Windows
kks - Handy Kakoune companion.
nbrowser - 🔗 🌐 : an easy way to open links in browsers, mimic the "Open URL with..." dialog on Android, `nbrowser` help you open links in a browser
Watson - :watch: A wonderful CLI to track your time!
