Zsh 100 Commits Club

Plugins evaluated at May 14th, 2021

Intro

There are so many plugins on the great awesome-zsh-plugins page that it makes sense to filter them out and also to score them. The plugins below contain 50 or more commits and are evaluated by an automatic script in order to detect:

• ones with 100 or more commits
• active ones
• very active ones
• maintained ones
• ones having an ongoing research & development

Just take a look at the iconography. It's intuitive and easy to memorize. In minutes you'll be able to grep interesting plugins with your eyes!

Iconography

Devoted time and work detection

🥈 - has 50 or more commits (unused – that's the entry to the list boundary)
🥇 - has 100 or more commits

Progress detection

🚶- slow/moderate progress: 1 commit in each of last 3 months or 5 commits in total during the 3 last months (90 days)
🏃- fast progress: 2 commits in each of last 3 months or 10 commits in total during the 3 last months

Maintenance detection

⌛️- long time no update (updated not in last 3 months, but in last 6 months)
⏳ - updated in last 3 months, active
⏰ - updated in last month and month before it (single new commit will not yield such a strong symbol like the alarm clock; the additional criterion ("month before it") is to take into account only a more constantly attended projects)

Research & development detection

💼 - has branches with at least 50 commits in total
📈 – the branches were active 3 times in last 4 months
