Our data tells a different story. As AI rapidly expands, developers are increasingly building AI models into applications and engaging with AI projects on GitHub in large numbers. At the same time, we’re seeing an unprecedented number of developers join GitHub from across the globe, and many of these developers are contributing to open source projects for the first time.</p> <p>In 2024, Python overtook JavaScript as the most popular language on GitHub, while Jupyter Notebooks skyrocketed—both of which underscore the surge in data science and machine learning on GitHub. We’re also seeing increased interest in AI agents and smaller models that require less computational power, reflecting a shift across the industry as more people focus on new use cases for AI.</p> <p>Our data also shows <em>a lot</em> more people are joining the global developer community. In the past year, more developers joined GitHub and engaged with open source and public projects (in some cases, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me2Kc75UiWs">empowered by AI</a>). And since tools like GitHub Copilot started going mainstream in early 2023, the number of developers on GitHub has rapidly grown with significant gains in the global south. While we see signals that AI is driving interest in software development, we can’t fully explain the surge in global growth our data reflects (but we’ll keep studying it).</p> <p>At GitHub, we know the critical role open source plays in bridging early experimentation and widespread adoption. In this year’s Octoverse report, we’ll explore how AI and a rapidly growing global developer community are coming together with compounding results.</p> <p class="has-image"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-80623 width-fit" src="https://github.blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/GitHub-Octoverse-2024-top-line-metrics-1.png?w=1024&resize=1024%2C576" alt="Graphic from GitHub's Octoverse 2024 report highlighting the top-line metrics across the GitHub platform in 2024.

AI is growing and evolving fast, and developers globally are going far beyond code generation with today’s tools and models. While the United States leads in contributions to generative AI projects on GitHub, we see more absolute activity outside the United States. In 2024, there was a 59% surge in the number of contributions to generative AI projects on GitHub and a 98% increase in the number of projects overall—and many of those contributions came from places like India, Germany, Japan, and Singapore. </li> <li> <p><strong>A rapidly growing number of developers worldwide—especially in Africa, Latin America, and Asia.</strong> Notable growth is occurring in India, which is expected to have the world’s largest developer population on GitHub by 2028, as well as across Africa and Latin America. We also see Brazil’s developer community growing fast. Some of this is attributable to students. The GitHub Education program, for instance, has had more than 7 million verified participants. We’ve also seen 100% year-over-year growth among students, teachers, and open source maintainers adopting GitHub Copilot as part of our complimentary access program. This suggests AI isn’t just helping more people learn to write code or build software faster—it’s also attracting and helping more people become developers. First-time open source contributors continue to show wide-scale interest in AI projects. But we aren’t seeing signs that AI has hurt open source with low-quality contributions.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Python is now the most used language on GitHub as global open source activity continues to extend beyond traditional software development.</strong> We saw Python emerge for the first time as the most used language on GitHub (more on that later). Python is used heavily across machine learning, data science, scientific computing, hobbyist, and home automation fields among others. The rise in Python usage correlates with large communities of people joining the open source community from across the STEM world rather than the traditional community of software developers. This year, we also saw a 92% spike in usage across Jupyter Notebooks. This could indicate people in data science, AI, machine learning, and academia increasingly use GitHub. Systems programming languages, like Rust, are also on the rise, even as Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Java remain the most widely used languages on GitHub.</p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>💡 Oh, and if you’re a visual learner, we have you covered.👇</strong></p> <div class="mod-yt position-relative" style="height: 0; padding-bottom: calc((9 / 16)*100%);"> <iframe loading="lazy" class="position-absolute top-0 left-0 width-full height-full" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/b5Ho2_Si6hY?feature=oembed" title="YouTube video player" allow="accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe> </div> <h2 id="a-global-community-of-developers-thats-growing-fast" id="a-global-community-of-developers-thats-growing-fast" >A global community of developers that’s growing fast<a href="#a-global-community-of-developers-thats-growing-fast" class="heading-link pl-2 text-italic text-bold" aria-label="A global community of developers that’s growing fast"></a></h2> <p class="has-image"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-80555 width-fit" src="https://github.blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/GitHub-Octoverse-2024-global-developer-stats.png?w=1024&resize=1024%2C301" alt="Graphic from GitHub's Octoverse 2024 report highlighting global developer statistics.

Government regulations increasingly demand developers know the ingredients going into their software artifacts, which increases demand for implementing tools that automate governance and compliance.</p> <p><strong>94% of the top 50 open source projects are using the <a href="https://github.com/ossf/scorecard">OpenSSF Scorecard</a></strong> to help ensure their projects implement security best practices. We evaluated this by looking at roughly 1 million repositories that have <strong>OpenSSF scorecard</strong>s in place from the top 50 most popular open source projects. The <strong>OpenSSF Scorecard action</strong> assesses repositories, runs checks for security best practices, and generates a security scorecard with real-time feedback.</p> <p>Becoming familiar with <a href="https://docs.github.com/code-security/getting-started/github-security-features"><strong>GitHub security features</strong>,</a> such as code scanning and secret scanning (which are free for open source developers), and supply chain governance features like <a href="https://docs.github.com/actions/security-for-github-actions/using-artifact-attestations/using-artifact-attestations-to-establish-provenance-for-builds"><strong>artifact attestations</strong></a> is a good first step towards automating best security practices. Enterprise developers can also turn to their OSPOs for support in navigating regulations and implementing security measures across their open source dependencies, as <strong>OSPOs will play increasingly critical roles in compliance</strong>.</p> <p><strong>Developers are increasingly automating more aspects of build, test, and security activities using GitHub Actions in public and open source projects</strong>. In 2024, we saw developers use <strong>10.54 billion total GitHub Actions minutes (measured in CPU minutes)</strong>. That’s up almost 30% year over year from the 7.3 billion GitHub Actions minutes developers used in 2023.</p> <p>The rising number of developers employing automation was mirrored by growth in the number of <a href="https://github.com/marketplace?type=actions">GitHub Actions in the GitHub Marketplace</a>.
