ArchiSteamFarm
C# application with primary purpose of farming Steam cards
ASF is a C# application with the primary purpose of farming Steam cards from multiple accounts simultaneously. Unlike Idle Master which works only for one account at a given time, while requiring Steam client running in the background and launching additional processes imitating "game-playing" status, ASF doesn't require any Steam client running in the background, doesn't launch any additional processes and is made to handle unlimited Steam accounts at once. In addition to that, it's meant to be run on servers or other desktop-less machines and features full cross-OS support, which makes it possible to launch on any operating system with .NET Core runtime, such as Windows, Linux, and macOS. ASF is possible thanks to the gigantic amount of work done in the marvelous SteamKit2 library. Today, ASF is one of the most versatile Steam power tools, allowing you to make use of many features that were implemented over time. -

iTerm2 Color Schemes
Over 425 terminal color schemes/themes for iTerm/iTerm2
This project curates a large collection of terminal color schemes and makes them available in formats for many terminal emulators, not just iTerm2. You’ll find well-known palettes like Solarized, Dracula, Nord, and hundreds more, each with previews that showcase how code, prompts, and text look under the theme. The repository includes export files for multiple terminals—such as iTerm2, Apple Terminal, Alacritty, Kitty, Windows Terminal, and others—so you can apply the same aesthetic consistently across machines. There are helper tools and conversion scripts to generate or translate schemes, plus instructions for importing them on each supported terminal. Because it’s community-driven, new schemes and updates are added regularly, and issues often include tweaks to improve readability or contrast for different use cases. -

Harmony
Patching, replacing and decorating .NET and Mono methods
Harmony gives you an elegant and high-level way to alter the functionality in applications written in C#. It works great in games and is well established in titles like 7 Days To Die, BattleTech, Besiege, Cities:Skylines, Kerbal Space Program, Oxygen Not Included, Ravenfield, Rimworld, Sheltered, Stardew Valley, Staxel, Subnautica, The Ultimate Nerd Game, Total Miner, Unturned, SCP: Secret Laboratory and many more. If you develop in C# and your code is loaded as a module/plugin into a host application, you can use Harmony to alter the functionality of all the available assemblies of that application. Where other patch libraries simply allow you to replace the original method, Harmony goes one step further. It is also used in unit testing WPF controls and in many other areas. Installation is done by using 0Harmony.dll in your project or by using the Lib.Harmony nuget package. -

XcodeGen
A Swift command line tool for generating your Xcode project

gh-dash
A beautiful CLI dashboard for GitHub
A GitHub (gh) CLI extension to display a dashboard with pull requests and issues by filters you care about. Write multiple configuration files to easily switch between completely different dashboards. Repo name-to-path mappings can be an exact match (full name, full path) or wildcard matched using the owner and partial path. To override the default set of terminal colors and instead create your own color scheme, you can define one in your config.yml file. If you choose to go this route, you need to specify all of the following keys as colors in hex format (#RRGGBB), otherwise, validation will fail. You can customize each section's layout as well as the global layout.
