The future of software is now

GitHub Actions and Packages are out of beta and ready for primetime—but that’s just the beginning. Now we’re bringing our favorite tools on the go with GitHub for mobile.

There’s a lot teams do on GitHub that goes beyond code. From securing the world’s software with the GitHub Archive Project to using GitHub Sponsors to support open source projects, we’re making it possible to do more—in one place.

Three tips for IT transformation

Focus on what’s next, not what’s now

Migrating from one version control system to another is a big task for any business. Instead of switching to a platform that just supports the way you build today, invest in tools that can support your team as you grow.

Try self–service over request-and-wait

More self-service equals less maintenance for infrastructure teams. Choose tools that help developers problem-solve, so your infrastructure engineers are free to focus on what matters most.

Make projects open and searchable for all

Security is a community responsibility. Whether sharing as open source or internally, making code public means more chances to catch security vulnerabilities—before they make it to production.

The State of the Octoverse

Each year, our data team takes a look at the “Octoverse”—the trends and insights into GitHub activity, the open source community, and teams at work. This year, we’ve seen that not only do companies use GitHub, they also contribute to open source and take part in the developer community.

Here are some of the highlights:

  • Almost 70 percent of Global Fortune 50 companies have made a contribution to open source in the last year.
  • Almost three million organizations bring people together in public and private repositories on GitHub.
  • Twenty-nine Global Fortune 50 companies are building the software behind their businesses on GitHub Enterprise and 35 have made a contribution to open source within the last year.

“We don’t have to build our own integrations. For us, it’s also the primary criterion for choosing a tool downstream: if your app doesn’t integrate with GitHub Enterprise, it’s not an option.”

Thousands of developers, software leaders, and maintainers joined us at this year’s GitHub Universe, our annual product and community conference. Over two full days of expert panels and break-out talks, we shared what’s coming next for GitHub, heard from the people shaping the future of software—and printed plenty of make-your-own Octocat stickers.
