Discover GitHub Agentic Workflows, now in technical preview. Build automations using coding agents in GitHub Actions to handle triage, documentation, code quality, and more.

Open source is hitting an “Eternal September.” As contribution friction drops, maintainers are adapting with new trust signals, triage approaches, and community-led solutions.

In January, we experienced two incidents that resulted in degraded performance across GitHub services.

Think of Continuous AI as background agents that operate in your repository for tasks that require reasoning.

Claude by Anthropic and OpenAI Codex are now available in public preview on GitHub and VS Code with a Copilot Pro+ or Copilot Enterprise subscription. Here’s what you need to know and how to get started today.

What languages are growing fastest, and why? What about the projects that people are interested in the most? Where are new developers cutting their teeth? Let’s take a look at Octoverse data to find out.

A senior engineer’s guide to architecting and extending Copilot’s real-world applications.

Learn how GitHub built an accessible, multi-terminal-safe ASCII animation for the Copilot CLI using custom tooling, ANSI color roles, and advanced terminal engineering.

Discover the latest trends and insights on public software development activity on GitHub with data from the Innovation Graph through Q3 2025.

Now in technical preview, the GitHub Copilot SDK can plan, invoke tools, edit files, and run commands as a programmable layer you can use in any application.

Run tests, fix code, and get support—right in your workflow. Stay focused and let Copilot handle the busywork.

Learn how we are using the newly released GitHub Security Lab Taskflow Agent to triage categories of vulnerabilities in GitHub Actions and JavaScript projects.

Learn how I managed context to keep Copilot focused, used the Plan agent to sharpen vague requirements, and required Test Driven Development practices to catch bugs before users.

Copilot’s cross-agent memory system lets agents learn and improve across your development workflow, starting with coding agent, CLI, and code review.

User feedback led us to clean up outdated mitigations. See why observability and lifecycle management are critical for defense systems.

In December, we experienced five incidents that resulted in degraded performance across GitHub services.

Announcing GitHub Security Lab Taskflow Agent, an open source and collaborative framework for security research with AI.

AI is designed to help you do what you love most, not replace your expertise. Discover how developer feedback and real-world experience are shaping AI coding tools that keep you in control.
