- Run ninja to rebuild only changed files in a large project
- Generate project documentation with ninja manual or ninja doxygen

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
