The 2022 Octoverse report by GitHub highlights the transformative impact of open-source software on developers and businesses over the past decade, with a significant increase from 2.8 million to over 94 million developers using GitHub. Open source now underpins more than 90% of global software, with businesses increasingly adopting and investing in open-source technologies, leading to the formation of large open-source communities around commercial projects. The report identifies three major trends: the rise of infrastructure as code, with languages like Hashicorp Configuration Language gaining traction; the growing involvement of big tech in open-source communities; and the tendency for first-time contributors to engage with commercially backed projects such as Next.JS, React, and VS Code. In 2022, developers initiated 52 million new open-source projects on GitHub, contributing over 413 million times, showcasing open source as a critical engine of growth. More than 30% of Fortune 100 companies now have open source program offices, emphasizing the strategic importance of open source in modern software development.
