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.

Uh, no. This is false. It’s just part of a broader trend to stop using ‘master’ due to some people finding that term offensive.

When did this illustration style become popular and why is it so ugly?
Not only did GH only make the change for reasons other than what you said, it's also just a weird hill to die on? Words evolve over time, and as things take on different connotations, people generally gravitate towards more tasteful alternatives.

Management doesn't like "Master / Slave" terminology, so I chose another.
I mean github changed "master" to "main" because social warriors were crying wolf on the use of "master"... people are going to find ways to get offended, once everything has been turned to "neutral" another side of the same group will fight for "inclusion" by turning all of it on its head.

Ok chaddis, then dont go to idiotic and woke Stanford University.
The master-main thing is actually real lmao. Not Stanform, but GitHub did it

Today I was informed my our big multinational client..
Oh, they did already. The default branch is "main" now if you create the project on Github. But if you're a white colonizer like me, you create your project using git directly and it uses master by default.

Rename "master's" degree to a more racially sensitive word
Github renamed the master branch to main. The University of Pennsylvania renamed faculty masters to faculty directors. There's a view to rename residential masters at Yale. Likewise, the master's degree should be renamed to something that's more racially sensitive.

So You Think You Know Git – Git Tips and Tricks by Scott Chacon
Boy, I can't find this either (but also, the kernel mailing list is _really_ difficult to search). I really remember Linus saying something like "it's not a real SCM, but maybe someone could build one on top of it someday" or something like that, but I cannot figure out how to find that.
You _can_ see, though, that in his first README, he refers to what he's building as not a "real SCM":

Do we think of Git commits as diffs, snapshots, and/or histories?
I understand all that.
I'm saying, if you write a survey and one of the possible answers is "diff", but you don't clearly define what you mean by "diff", then don't be surprised if respondents use any reasonable definition that makes sense to them. Ask an ambiguous question, get a mishmash of answers.
The thing that Git uses for packfiles is called a "delta" by Git, but it's also reasonable to call it a "diff". After all, Git's delta algorithm is "greatly inspired by parts of LibXDiff from Davide Libenzi"[1]. Not LibXDelta but LibXDiff.
Yes, how Git stores blobs (using deltas) is orthogonal to how Git uses blobs. But while that orthogonality is useful for reasoning about Git, it's not wrong to think of a commit as the totality of what Git does, including that optimization. (Some people, when learning Git, stumble over the way it's described as storing full copies, think it's wasteful. For them to wrap their heads around Git, they have to understand that the optimization exists. Which makes sense because Git probably wouldn't be practical if it lacked that optimization.)
The reason I'm bringing all this up is, if you're trying to explain Git, which is what the original article is about, then it's very important to keep in mind that someone who is learning Git needs to know what you mean when you say "diff". Most people who already know Git would tend to gravitate toward the definition of "diff" that you're assuming (the thing that Git computes on the fly and never stores), but people who already know Git aren't the target audience when you're teaching Git.

Didn't Git have a new default merge strategy, `ort` https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/RelNote... ?

The bash book to rule them all
Yes, but you are referring to standalone scripts, not functions defined within a Bash script.
Compare for example the following helper code used for git command completion inside Bash and inside PowerShell.
