Microsoft GitHub officially announced more than 100 million users, "the world's largest developer dating platform" real hammer

CTOnews.com, January 26 (Xinhua) Microsoft GitHub announced on its official blog that it has reached 100 million users, and now more than 100 million developers use GitHub to build, maintain and contribute software projects, two years ahead of the official 2025 target.

Microsoft GitHub ushered in the first line of code submission in October 2007. Today, developers are no longer just people who build software for technology companies, but an increasingly diverse and global group, modifying code, design and documentation in their spare time, contributing to open source projects, conducting scientific research, and so on.

According to GitHub officials, nearly 1/3 of developers on GitHub were from North America in 2015. Today, some of the fastest growing regions come from other places, such as Southeast Asia, Africa and South America. In India alone, more than 10 million developers use GitHub to build software. In Brazil, more than 3 million new developers use GitHub.

CTOnews.com learned that GitHub officially announced 73 million developers at the end of 2021, and now it has added 27 million developers more than a year later.

GitHub says that as responsibilities increase, the platform is no longer just a website that equips developers with tools, but needs to provide developers with everything they need to focus on the best work. As the home of 100 million developers, GitHub will help more new developers enter the technology field, help people work together to build the next great thing, accelerate human progress, and solve problems we don't know yet.
