Who's winning the global software development race? 🚀 Watch the top 20 economies battle it out in this animated bar chart race of cumulative git pushes since 2020. 📊 This is just one of the new visualizations in our latest GitHub Innovation Graph update. See more trends (including the rise of AI and LLMs) in the full report. 👇 github.blog/news-insights/…

@github now filter the bots and ai slop commits

@github Software development is a collaborative marathon, not a sprint. Interesting to see visualized contributions shifting over time. What drives these fluctuations?

@github china moving to gitea is so backwards. I still remember I found a couple of easy vulns a while back :p

@github based on IP addresses?

@github damn india ahead of china

@github Interesting data point on tech innovation trends.

@github ok now see which one of these catagories use the most ai vs git pushes and see who comes ahead 👀

@github not sure if this is very fair considering China doesn't use GitHub as much..

That's the stupidest measurement ever. Back in the day I'd do 1 or 2 squashed commits with 50 files changed where a junior would do every test method a separate commit and 20 commits in general for some small feature. And now with AI there's no excuse not to make good commits even before MRs. If you can't squash the commits so that whoever later looks at your code can see all the related changes in single place then you are a moron and this metric of who does more commits are for morons.

@github When it comes to code, as with most anything else, less is more and quality > quantity

@github Nigeria 🇳🇬 🙌

@github India 🚀

@github EU as one economy fuck yeah

@github China uses gitee instead. They have ditched American alternatives long ago. Also US lost global hagemony the day Linus Torvalds developed git. Else US would be doing something like:- import numpy as np # pay $50 for EU, $150 to others import pandas as pd #flat $10 etc etc

@github Now do one by revenue of tech companies

@github Sure the fuck not gonna be you since you're owned by Microsucks now.

@github EU combined = useless Statistics

@github Why is China so low? Are they using other platforms to host their source code?

@github China doesn’t want to share its code

@github wow 😮

By Q1 2025: 🇪🇺 EU leads with ~50M pushes 🇺🇸 US right behind with ~47M 🇮🇳 India climbing fast past 12M, overtaking 🇨🇳 China (~11M). Code commits are literally the new GDP charts 📊. Question is: will “innovation economies” be judged more by GitHub graphs than stock markets in the next decade?

@github @grok is this true and how exactly is this rated?

@github Sorry but a 💩 metric to use Especially as well, its not hard to automate git commits and pushes making this a completely useless metric.

@github The EU mandates that each push must be limited to one commit, so the regulations are putting a finger on the scale here

@github google

@github Would love to see a per capita version of this!

@github Go EU! 🇪🇺

@github Chine does not use Github.

@github The EU countries are building for American consumers, though.

@github Does this count AI developed software? I’m willing to bet the US is way out ahead in that development.

@github Number of pushes does not equal number of projects deployed

@github so when u marge west together u see 70%

@github india is on 2nd

@github interesting are these pushes normalized per developer or just raw totals?

@github Perhaps top individual accounts would be a more accurate representation of national performance

@github follow
