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.

Let's See Your Terminal
This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Just How Much Faster Are the Gnome 46 Terminals?
I use Tmux. It's a terminal-agnostic multiplexer. Gives you persistence and automation superpowers.

Easy Access to Terminal Commands in Neovim using FTerm
Having a common set of tools already set up in different windows or sessions in Tmux or Zellij is obviously an option, but there is a subset of us ( 👋 ) that would rather just have fingertip access to our common tools inside of our editor.

Using Shell Scripting to simplify your Shopify App development workflow 🐚
Once you have your Mac or Linux machine ready, make sure to downlaod and install TMUX (Terminal Mulitplexer). A lot of our scripts are going to be running headless inside of a TMUX session as it's an incredibly clean way to manage and organise different workspaces simultaneously. A lot of our scripts will help us to interact with TMUX so don't worry if it looks a little intimidating at first. You can install TMUX using your package manager in the terminal, use whichever applies to you:

Zellij – A terminal workspace with batteries included (tmux alternative)
After having spent too much time trying to get the simple https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-tmux/ features into mainline tmux (last November https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/3753), maybe it'd be easier to jump ship as use zellij?
Could anyone offer recommendations on "riced" zellij configuations, or just a demo where it shows doing with (say charts of disk usage per folder), watching a movie with mpv + keeping a vim to type on?

Automating the startup of a dev workflow
Well, I now use tmux and tmuxinator. I have had many failed tmux attempts over the years, but I'm firmly bedded in now.
-
Clipboards, Terminals, and Linux
Which leads me to clipboards. Linux has two of them! Adding to the interest, I typically use Neovim remotely, via an SSH connection to a Tmux session. And on my Linux system, I use urxvt as my terminal program. All of these are very UNIX-y tools, and somehow they all need to play nicely together.

Connecting Debugger to Rails Applications
The downside of overmind is that it requires tmux, which is a terminal multiplexer tool. If you don't already use tmux, I'd say it's probably not worth learning it just for the purposes of using overmind. But if you're like me and already know/use tmux, this can be a great solution to pursue.

Pimp your CLI
As a developer, the command line is one of the tools you will be using most frequently. It can be intimidating to venture into the world of CLI tooling but I can assure you it is one of the most rewarding experiences too. In this post I want to walk ya'll through my personal CLI setup. It is based on 3 technologies which I'll coin as the "Holy Trinity" of the command line: TMUX, ZSH, & Neovim.

I turned my open-source project into a full-time business
I think like you. But also, one does not necessarily know beforehand that they will want to make money.
Like a project could be born out of pure generosity, but after the happy initial phase the project might get too heavy on the maintenance requirements, causing the author to approach burnout, and possibly deciding that they want to make money to continue pulling the cart forward.
However, here's something I do think: if you create something as Open Source, it should be out of a mentality of goodwill and for the greater good, regardless of how it ends up being used. OSS licenses do mean this with their terms. If you later get tired or burned out, you should just retire and allow the community to keep taking care of it. Just like it happened with the Jq tool [1].

How to load JSON data in PostgreSQL with the the COPY command
In this blog we'll see how to upload the JSON directly using PostgreSQL COPY command and using an utility called jq!

How to Recover Locally Deleted Files From Github
And we can then make it easier to find the commit by filtering the response with jq.

Command line tools I always install on Ubuntu servers
To handle JSON files and JSON outputs in a script or format and highlight it, jq can be very handy. Many command line tools provide a json output, so you don't have to write a custom parser for a table a list in a terminal. Instead of that, you can use jq to get a specific value from the output or even modify the output. For more information, you can visit https://jqlang.github.io/jq/

How I use Nix in my Elm projects
In some projects I've wanted to use HTTPie to test APIs and jq to work with some JSON data. Nix has been really helpful in managing those dependencies that I can't easily get from npm.

Gooey: Turn almost any Python command line program into a full GUI application
> I'd love to see programs communicate through a typed JSON/proto format that shed enough details to make this more independent, and get useful shell command structuring/completion or full blown GUIs from simply introspecting the expected input and output types.
You should try PowerShell. It's basically Microsoft's .NET ecosystem molded into an interactive command line. I'm not entirely sure if PoweShell can make full use of the static types that build up its core, but its ability to exchange objects in the command line is almost unmatched.
On Linux you can use `jc` (https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc) combined with `jq` (https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) to glue together command lines.

To a Man with `Jq`, Everything Looks Like JSON
Yeah, but muscle memory bites me all the time and I put the backslash on the closing paren, too, because I'm so used to the regex usage of that syntax which needs them to match
I also want to draw the reader's attention to the magic of |@uri <https://github.com/jqlang/jq/blob/jq-1.7/docs/content/manual...> for a bunch of cases, but doubly so in TFA's case where they're plugging strings into a URI context. Simple string concat often works great for "hello world", but the world is not always just hello, so one quick use of the filter and jq's got your back
echo "the world's scary" | jq -Rr '"\(.)"'

Using Vercel's instant rollback feature in your own CI/CD pipeline
Before we can send a rollback request to the API we need to find the previous production release's deployment ID. Here's how I did that in Bash, using jq:

Jaq – A jq clone focused on correctness, speed, and simplicity
The fact that jq takes almost a second to run on a Pi is crazy[0]. And the tool is written in C.
What are some alternatives?

kitty - Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal
jp - Validate and transform JSON with Bash
tilix - A tiling terminal emulator for Linux using GTK+ 3
gojq - Pure Go implementation of jq
toggleterm.nvim - A neovim lua plugin to help easily manage multiple terminal windows
Jolt - JSON to JSON transformation library written in Java.
i3 - A tiling window manager for X11
