A tour of recent work to re-engineer Git’s garbage collection process to scale to our largest and most active repositories.

We’re thrilled to be back at the Grace Hopper Celebration at Open Source Day, the largest celebration of women in open source. Stop by and say hi at one of our workshops.

Calling all students and teachers! With semester change coming soon, now is the time to start using the latest features within GitHub Education and Global Campus!

We’re taking a look at two commonly-used security tools and detailing how they can help secure your projects.

After a year in technical preview, GitHub Copilot, an AI pair programmer, is now free for all teachers verified on GitHub Global Campus.

Read the new GitHub report on OSS in India, Kenya, Egypt, and Mexico. Available now in English, and in Spanish and Arabic later this year.

In August, we experienced one incident resulting in significant impact to Codespaces. We’re still investigating that incident and will include it in next month’s report. This report also sheds light into an incident that impacted Codespaces in July.

When the GitHub Copilot Technical Preview launched just over one year ago, we wanted to know one thing: Is this tool helping developers? The GitHub Next team conducted research using a combination of surveys and experiments, which led us to expected and unexpected answers.

Live on September 15, 2022, with talks by industry experts in Spanish, Portuguese, and English, on topics including software development, security, technical project management, community, open source, professional development and best practices.

A software engineer’s personal journey to becoming an open source contributor.

We’ve been gearing up to launch GitHub Universe 2022 and our community has been launching cool projects left right and center.  These projects include everything from world-changing technology to developer…

This fifth and final part of our blog series exploring Git’s internals shows several strategies for scaling your Git repositories that match related database sharding techniques.

Now your team can spend less time managing infrastructure and more time writing code.

We’re examining Git’s internals to help make your engineering system more efficient. This post views Git as a distributed database and looks into its synchronization techniques, specifically ‘git fetch’ and ‘git push’.
