Data-driven insights, market research, and comprehensive analyses of the developer ecosystem. Explore findings from our latest studies, learn about emerging trends, and gain perspective on the factors influencing the future of software development.
We surveyed 2,000 people on software development teams at enterprises in the U.S., Brazil, India, and Germany about the use, experience, and expectations around generative AI tools in software development.
We conducted research with developers at Accenture to understand GitHub Copilot’s real-world impact in enterprise organizations.
Explore how DevEx boosts productivity and innovation according to new research.
As we look to empower developers with AI tools, we inadvertently integrate AI deeper into the way developers work. How do developers feel about that? And what are the most impactful ways to introduce more AI into workflows? We recently conducted 25 in-depth interviews with developers to understand exactly that.
In this year’s Octoverse report, we study how open source activity around AI, the cloud, and Git are changing the developer experience.
From starting at GitHub over 10 years ago as a developer to becoming the Chief Operating Officer, I’ve learned that developers are often bellwethers for change across the rest of their organizations. That makes investing in—and learning from—them critical.
Findings show that code quality is better across the board and developers felt more confident, too.
Today at Collision Conference we unveiled breaking new research on the economic and productivity impact of generative AI–powered developer tools. The research found that the increase in developer productivity due to AI could boost global GDP by over $1.5 trillion.
We surveyed 500 U.S.-based developers at companies with 1,000-plus employees about how managers should consider developer productivity, collaboration, and AI coding tools.
What’s the state of open source and how has it changed over the last decade? GitHub’s VP of Developer Relations, Martin Woodward, tackles that question and more in a 2022 keynote.
How is open source changing the world and impacting businesses? In this year’s Octoverse report, we identified three big trends to watch.
Read the new GitHub report on OSS in India, Kenya, Egypt, and Mexico. Available now in English, and in Spanish and Arabic later this year.
When the GitHub Copilot Technical Preview launched just over one year ago, we wanted to know one thing: Is this tool helping developers? The GitHub Next team conducted research using a combination of surveys and experiments, which led us to expected and unexpected answers.
We strive to understand how developers collaborate and work on GitHub, and we sometimes partner with academics to better understand how we can improve our products. Here’s how we did that to build and evolve GitHub Discussions.
We surveyed more than 2,000 developers about whether GitHub Copilot helped them be more productive and improved their coding. Then, we matched this qualitative feedback and subjective perception with quantitative data around objective usage measurements and productivity.
When digital infrastructure is overlooked by governments, it isn’t just a missed opportunity: policies may inadvertently endanger open source collaboration.
