Yes, we are building GitHub on GitHub. In fact, we’ve been doing this sinceOctober 19th, 2007. That's when we made our first commit. Since then we pushedover 2.5 million commits, openedover 1 million issues, submitted roughly650k pull requests across4357 repositories from over50 countries. 🤯 But that's just us. We are proud to be part of the work of millions of developers, companies and robots across the solar system. 🪐 Yes,Robots!

The open source community is the 💗 heart of GitHub and fundamental to how we build software today. See for yourself:

• GitHub Sponsors helped support more than5k individuals and projects around the world 🌍
• Open source projects on GitHub received a stunning218 million contributions 🚀 in the last year alone
• Every minute a developer creates a new release 🏄 for a public project on GitHub

Now that we are talking about the important things, ☝️ are you contributing to open source? Yes? Okay, you rock! 🎸 If not, we can help you get started! Open source software is made by people just like you. Learn more abouthow to contribute.

We contribute to the tools 🔧 we rely on to build and run GitHub, while also maintaining 🧙‍♂️ our own open source projects like:

• GitHub CLI - A command line tool for GitHub
• GitHub Desktop - A visual approach to using Git with GitHub
• Git Large File Storage - A Git extension for versioning large files
• Primer - The GitHub design system
