What the data shows

Computed from every record, as of 2026 Q2.

Git pushes reached 408 million in 2026 Q2, against 209 million a year earlier: +95%.
The developer count moved from 155 million to 209 million, so pushes are growing faster than developers. Automation and AI agents could be part of that, but this data cannot show it.

It only covers GitHub.
Small country figures may be left out, so totals can be slightly low.
AI agents and automation also push code, so this shows activity, not human demand.
