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.

Can some expert analyze a github repo and tell us if it's really safe or not?
For general open source hygiene, I'd recommend running OpenSSF scorecards on your github repo and following-up on anything it suggests. https://github.com/ossf/scorecard.

Securizing your GitHub org
The OSSF scorecard initiative is really good to assess your project against security best practices. I am not the first to write about this.

You should use the OpenSSF Scorecard
Each area has its own associated risk, so the overall score is the average of the five areas. Here, you can check the details of each by consulting the documentation in detail.

Software Supply Chain and Data Infrastructure Security - 5 lessons from AllDayDevOps 2022
Mitigation, according to Sean, is a combination of appropriate (network) access control, SCA (Software Composition Analysis) tooling to manage your policies around CVEs, and purging “all the things”. He also thinks MFA (multi-factor authentication) for authors of (critical) packages should be required. Sean gets his vulnerability insights from deps.dev, ossindex.sonatype, and cvedetails.com, and closely monitors interesting initiatives such as the OpenSSF Security Scorecards - a tool to assess open source projects for security risks through a series of automated checks.

Washington, DC, and open—for maintainers
Give feedback on new security standards: The various security standards like OpenSSF Scorecard and SLSA.dev can be a lot to digest, but they are likely going to be very influential in developing government standards. Take a peek at them, and if you have concerns or questions, file issues. The people behind them want to hear from a broad range of maintainers, so your feedback really does matter. (If you're a Tidelift maintainer partner, you can also bring the feedback to us—we are participating in these discussions, and may be able to either point to existing discussions, explain them more deeply, or bring your feedback to the appropriate places.)

Best practices for managing Java dependencies
I recommend using https://deps.dev to get a feeling for what you are bringing into your project. It also integrates with OSSF Scorecards, which gives a good overview over how healthy the project is, and whether it employs industry best practices.

Snyk CLI: Introducing Semantic Versioning and release channels
Snyk CLI was introduced to the World Wide Web and security enthusiasts on October 2, 2015, as v0.0.0-pre-alpha release. In the past eight years, we released Snyk CLI nearly two thousand times — and more than eleven hundred of those releases happened in the last three years. That’s one release every thirty-two hours, signifying our customers’ growing needs as well as the pace at which we operate to meet those needs at an enterprise scale. With increasing demand, the complexity, reach, and impact of our fast-paced code changes increased, too.

Axios shipped a buggy version and it broke many productions apps. Let this be a lesson to pin your dependencies!
There's tons of tools to solve each of these problems Snyk for vulnerability scanning, tons of license checker plugins (like we use license-webpack-plugin which generates the license text for everything we distribute and fails a build if a license doesn't have one of our allowlisted licenses.

What should I expect from a MacOS development environment in enterprise?
So I'm curious, how are businesses building iOS apps securely? Could a tool like Snyk replace a manual audit, or is it a good idea to have an initial manual audit of our desired environment?

RFC: A Full-stack Analytics Platform Architecture
Ideally, software can quickly go from development to production. Continuous deployment and delivery are some processes that make this possible. Continuous deployment means establishing an automated pipeline from development to production while continuous delivery means maintaining the main branch in a deployable state so that a deployment can be requested at any time. Predecos uses these tools. When a commit goes into master, the code is pushed directly to the public environment. Deployment also occurs when a push is made to a development branch enabling local/e2e testing before push to master. In this manner the master branch can be kept clean and ready for deployment most of the time. Problems that surface resulting from changes are visible before reaching master. Additional automated tools are used. Docker images are built for each microservice on commit to a development or master branch, a static code analysis is performed by SonarCloud revealing quality and security problems, Snyk provides vulnerability analysis and CodeClimate provides feedback on code quality while Coveralls provides test coverage. Finally, a CircleCI build is done. Each of these components use badges which give a heads-up display of the health of the system being developed. Incorporating each of these tools into the development process will keep the code on a trajectory of stability. For example, eliminating code smells, security vulnerabilities, and broken tests before merging a pull-request (PR) into master. Using Husky on development machines to ensure that code is well linted and locally tested before it is allowed to be pushed to source-control management (SCM). Applying additional processes such as writing tests around bugs meaning reintroduction of a given bug would cause a test to fail. The automated tools would then require that test to be fixed before push to SCM meaning fewer bugs will be reintroduced. Proper development processes and automation have a strong synergy.
