The reports cover 2,500+ projects with data updated daily and cached for 1 day, and `x repo card` now tracks 60-day, 720-day, and total historical metrics plus physical line-of-code counts.

See the Full Picture at a Glance | x-cmd v0.10.9\n\nTLDR\n\n- **`x install` Project Health Reports** : Preview Stars, OpenSSF scores, and 30–360 day activity (Commits, PRs, Issues) via`--report` ,`--info` , or fzf pane to avoid unmaintained tools.\n- **Data & Coverage** : Covers 2,500+ projects updated daily, with 1-day caching to minimize GitHub API calls.\n- **Expanded Repo Metrics** :`x repo card` adds 60-day, 720-day, total historical stats, and physical line-of-code counts.\n- **Hardware & AI Upgrades** :`x cpu` now separates Apple Silicon P-cores and E-cores;`x codex` adds GLM and MiniMax models.\n\nYou pick an open-source tool with a decent Star count and excitedly run `brew install`.\n\nAfter using it for a while, you notice:\n\nHundreds of unaddressed issues are piling up, the latest commit was made a year or two ago, and the Releases page has stalled on a very old version.\n\nThe software is installed, but the project itself is practically dead.\n\nThe recently released x-cmd v0.10.9 adds a **project health report** directly into `x install`.\n\n## Check the Project Report Before Installing \n\nRun directly:\n\n```\nx install --report jq\n```\n\nTo view the project report for jq.\n\nIt currently displays Stars, Forks, Releases, PRs, Issues, Commits, and recent activity levels over the past 30, 60, 90, 180, and 360 days.\n\nIt also includes the OpenSSF Scorecard, programming languages, lines of code, project creation date, latest commit, and latest release information.\n\nWhen evaluating software, **you won't just see how many Stars it has, but also whether there have been recent Commits, PRs, Issues, and Releases**.\n\nPart of this data originates from x repo card.\n\n## View Installation Methods and Project Status Together \n\nIf you want to view installation methods alongside project health, use:\n\n```\nx install --info jq\n```\n\nThe top section shows installation methods, while the bottom section displays the project report.\n\nFor instance, installation methods might include:\n\n```\nbrew install jq\napt install jq\nx pkg use jq\nx eget jqlang/jq\nx asdf use jq\n```\n\nFollowed by project metrics such as Stars, Scorecard, and Commits, PRs, and Releases over various timeframes.\n\n## Direct Preview inside fzf \n\nWhen using the interactive `x install` fzf menu, **the right-hand preview pane automatically displays the project report**.\n\nMove your cursor over any software, and the corresponding activity metrics and scores appear on the right.\n\nReports are cached for 1 day to avoid repeatedly fetching from GitHub raw. It currently covers **2,500+ open-source software projects with data updated daily**.\n\n## Expanded Time Ranges in x repo card \n\nTo make project report data more complete, `x repo card` has expanded its tracking to include 60-day, 720-day, and `total` metrics.\n\nWhere you previously could view 30, 90, 180, and 360 days, you can now **look back up to 720 days, as well as cumulative data since project creation**.\n\nPhysical line counts have also been added to track the actual codebase size in the workspace. All of this data feeds into the project reports.\n\n## Other Updates \n\n`x cpu` can now **differentiate between E-cores and P-cores on Apple Silicon**, displaying the idle rates for both core clusters.\n\n`x codex` **added support for GLM and MiniMax models**.\n\nIf you plan to install an open-source CLI tool soon, give it a try:\n\n```\nx install\n```\n\nIf there is a project you would like to inspect or additional metrics you'd like to see, feel free to leave a comment or submit a PR.\n\nPlease indicate the source and link of this article when reprinting.\n\nHelp us make these docs great!\n\nAll X-CMD docs are generated from command help and multiple data sources.
