Ask HN: What underrated GitHub / Gitlab project has helped you a lot?

2 pointsby 4f77616973almost 4 years ago
So I come across these nice projects on GitHub that have very few stars but I believe they deserve so much more because of how well they&#x27;re written. I personally used projects like IGraphM and swift-emacs in college when they were relatively unknown and am happy to see them do better now.<p>What are some such projects for y&#x27;all?
