100 million developers and counting

In 2019, GitHub set a goal to reach 100 million developers by 2025, a milestone it achieved two years early, reflecting the platform's expanding global reach and diverse user base. Developers today are not confined to tech companies but represent a varied group working across different industries and regions, including Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America, with significant growth in countries like India and Brazil. This diversity is democratizing the perception and role of developers, who are now contributing to a range of fields such as scientific research, healthcare, and AI. GitHub emphasizes its commitment to supporting developers by providing tools and initiatives like GitHub Copilot and GitHub Next, which aim to enhance the software development process and foster innovation. Under the leadership of Thomas Dohmke, GitHub has focused on empowering developers to collaborate effectively and address complex global challenges, demonstrating the platform's vision of being a home for all developers.
