Summary

In response to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, GitHub has prioritized the health and safety of its employees and community while maintaining its global operations. The company has paused all non-essential travel and encourages remote work, leveraging its established systems for virtual collaboration as a distributed team. GitHub's offices remain open, with flexible work-from-home options and enhanced cleaning measures, particularly in San Francisco and Europe. Additionally, GitHub has shifted its annual Satellite conference to a virtual format on May 6, 2020, to continue fostering community engagement without physical gatherings. These measures aim to support the community and prevent disruptions while closely following guidance from health organizations.
