Frequently asked questions
How many open source console-application projects are there?
This registry tracks 3 projects tagged console-application, with 9,195 GitHub stars between them. The most-adopted is hledger at 4,737 stars.
Are these console-application projects free to use?

Which console-application project should I choose?
The list above is ranked by GitHub stars, but stars measure attention rather than fit. Check three things on each card: the licence (permissive versus copyleft), the language it is written in, and the last-push date — a high-star project that has not been pushed in a year is a liability.
Are these console-application projects still maintained?
3 of the 3 were pushed in the last 90 days, and every card shows its exact last-push date so you can see the rest. Sort your shortlist by that date before committing to a migration.
