New from Universe 2020: Dark mode, GitHub Sponsors for companies, and more

GitHub Universe announced several new features and updates, including GitHub Sponsors for companies, enabling organizations to financially support critical open source dependencies via existing billing methods. The platform introduced improvements like dark mode, auto-merge for pull requests, and a public beta for Discussions, a space for community interaction. Continuous delivery support was enhanced with environments, required reviewers, and workflow visualization for GitHub Actions. GitHub Enterprise Server 3.0 will soon offer CI/CD automation, secret scanning, and mobile support, while code scanning is now generally available for both GitHub.com and Enterprise Server users. The updates aim to streamline workflows, enhance security, and foster open source collaboration.
