New data and visualizations highlight the resilience of international developer collaboration
Blog post from GitHub
The GitHub Innovation Graph, an initiative providing quarterly data on various metrics such as Git pushes, repositories, and programming languages, serves as a resource for understanding global software development trends. The Q3 2023 release introduced new data visualization features like stacked area charts for economy collaborators, facilitating insights into cross-economy software collaborations, particularly in response to global events like the increased support for Ukraine following the 2022 Russian invasion. Significant developments in the open-source ecosystem were noted, including TypeScript surpassing Java as the third most popular language on GitHub and the emergence of new licenses like MIT-0, used by AWS, and the Mulan license, the first dual-language open source license approved by the Open Source Initiative. The platform encourages users to explore and provide feedback on the Innovation Graph, emphasizing its role in fostering a better understanding of the dynamic software ecosystem.
