Many forks on github projects

When a project is not updated very often or goes by for years with no official updates, forks can proliferate. Then people who arrive at the site may want to know which forks are active. Luckily, there is a github project for solving this problem! It is called ActiveForks. If you go to https://techgaun.github.io/active-forks/index.html you can enter the name of the github project and you will get a table of results, with the ability to sort on any of the presented columns.

Windows and directories that cannot be (easily) deleted

If a directory contains nodes whose full pathname is greater than around 255 characters then Windows has tremendous difficulty deleting such a directory. But luckily, there is an easy way out. The 7-Zip command comes with an additional executable, 7zFM.exe which is the 7-ZIP File Manager. I recommend you put an icon for this on your desktop. It works a bit like a file explorer with one significant difference. If you click on a directory and enter shift-delete then it will delete that directory even if other commands fail due to the 255 problem.
