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.

Using Swift for Scripting
Yes, swift CLI will compile and run your swift file.
But many people also want to use libraries. For Python, they use the system libraries or work within an environment with installed libraries (i.e., the library-install process happens at environment-configuration time).
In Swift, the easiest way to consume libraries is using packages, but that requires a Package.swift declaring the project scope for the script file (which must comply with top-level and main-entrypoint code requirements).
The easiest way to do that when scripting is a swift tool that manages the process of gathering your library dependencies, auto-generating a project, building the tool, and caching it all so there's no overhead the next time.
The best available tool now is https://github.com/mxcl/swift-sh. It reads dependency information off import comments.
It can also generate the project for you, if/when you want to build in XCode (e.g., move into a more complex application, perhaps requiring sandbox declarations).
Working scripts are not always updated, so any script-build tool has to maintain backwards compatibility, but the swift package manager has changed a lot in recent versions. swift-sh seems to err on the side of backwards compatibility, and does not support e.g., the most recent dependency versioning styles.
Swift-forum discussions about better support for scripting haven't resulted in any official tooling.

Did anyone tried to run swift on raspberry pi before? I managed to install swift on my raspberry pi and print hello wold. Butbwhen i tried to do the same after 10 seconds it didnt work. Any idea why it didn’t print? DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 10) { print(“Hello world”) }
Note that this has nothing to do with the Raspberry Pi. You'll have the same issue running on the command-line. If you wish to test your programs on your computer where you have more tools and horse-power, I find swift-sh gives a good command-line experience and is a great alternative to Playgrounds especially for small tests.

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.

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.
