This week, GitHub released their year-in-review Octoverse report, an annual analysis of trends and insights gleaned from users, projects, and activity across the platform (Sep 2024 – Aug 2025). The report itself is a bit lengthy, but absolutely worth the read if you're into statistics and that kind of stuff. If that's not your thing, here were my biggest takeaways: - GitHub is now home to 630 million projects (4.3 million are AI-related projects)
- Approximately 230 new repos are created every minute
- Despite 63% of all repos being public, ~82% of all contributions happened in private repos
- 6 of the top 10 open source projects are AI-focused
- Home Assistant ranked 6th among open source projects in number of contributors and 3rd in first-time contributors
- The number of projects with Dockerfiles has grown 120% since 2024
- India was the largest source of new developer signups, but the U.S. remains the largest source of contributions
- TypeScript is now the most popular programming language (presumably due to its AI-friendliness)
- ~80% of new projects used just six languages (Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C++, and C#)
