News and Announcements

Github Universe

This year marks our tenth GitHub Universe—and one theme has remained constant: our focus on developers and the developer experience. Over 10 years, that developer experience has evolved from inventing the pull request to building the world’s most widely adopted AI coding tool, GitHub Copilot.

Today, our platform serves more than 100 million developers, and through the power of this interconnected community combined with generative AI, we are enabling every developer to build, release, scale, and secure software rapidly.
