Github is molting
2025 1B commits -> 2026 14B commits (annualized)
20% of all gitbub accounts created in the past 6 months
The platform was created for humans rythms, and now agent coding landed.
Outages are just the shell cracking
As Github sayed "they planned for 10x capacity and it is now under 30x load"
Incidents, outages and transformations: rebuilding storage for example. It's a molt
And while in process the shell is soft and tempting for predators
Cursor's Origin hosts, OpenAI forked Git and working, companies moving to Codeberg
But Github isnt dying, it's shedding a skin that no longer fits when coding gets automated by LLMs
The question is what grows into the next
