Nerd Merit Badges bring the fun of collecting merit badges to those of us with a penchant for late night coding sessions and weekends poring over esoteric nerd folklore. Get yours now in the GitHub Shop!
You can proudly display this badge if you are a contributor to an open source project. Displaying the Octocat will demonstrate to your friends and enemies that you love open source and have the code to prove it!
Each merit badge is 1.5 inches in diameter, fully embroidered, and Velcro-backed. Attach to your jacket, your backpack, or the lid of your over-clocked, battle-scarred laptop.
GitHub is the home for all developers and on this Global Accessibility Awareness Day we are thrilled to celebrate the achievements of disabled developers and recent ships that help them build on GitHub.
Design can have a significant impact on delivering accessible experiences to our users. It takes a cultural shift, dedicated experts, and permission to make progress over perfection in order to build momentum. We’ve got a long way to go, but we’re starting to see a real shift in our journey to make GitHub a true home for all developers.
GitHub recently experienced several availability incidents, both long running and shorter duration. We have since mitigated these incidents and all systems are now operating normally. Read on for more details about what caused these incidents and what we’re doing to mitigate in the future.
