Source code management and developer collaboration platform GitHub today announced users have now created 100 million repositories.
Repositories, or repos, are used by engineers and developers of all stripes to coordinate open source or collaborative programming projects.
In addition, the platform announced new information about its userbase. GitHub now supports 31 million developers, who collectively have created over 1.1 billion contributions.
These contributions have taken place across a variety of projects, both closed and open-source. GitHub hosts the majority of major open-source projects, including WordPress, Drupal, and TensorFlow.
React Native, TensorFlow, Angular, and Azure’s documentation occupied positions two-to-five.
Much of GitHub’s user growth is taking place outside of the United States, where the company is based. The fastest growing market, determined by the total number of repositories created, is Algeria, followed by El Salvador, Egypt, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan.
If one is only concerned with total open-source repositories created, the top five countries then become Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Belarus, Sri Lanka, and Nigeria.
