New fear unlocked (just in time for Halloween): sentient Furbies 👀 #GitHubUniverse
Screenshot of a code editor displaying Python code with a small ASCII art image of a Furby integrated into the code. A diff is shown changing the variable `sentient` from `False` to `True`, and making the Furby's eyes change to Xs. A moment from the 2025 GitHub Universe Day 2 keynote demonstrating a choir of programmed Furbies. A close-up of a programmed purple Furby with the text "SOON".

1.12 billion contributions. Over 180 million developers. This year, GitHub saw record growth, surging uses in AI, and significant shifts in programming languages.

What other stories do the numbers tell? Let’s dive into the data. This is Octoverse. 👇
https://gh.io/AAy5upr
Line graph titled "The top five programming languages on GitHub in 2025." It shows the trends of users of Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Java, and C# from January 2023 to July 2025. Each language is represented by a color, with TypeScript and Python coming in first and second, respectively. Chart titled "Tracking the top developer populations on GitHub (2020-2025)." It lists 10 countries in order: United States, India, China, Brazil, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Indonesia, Russia, and Canada. Each row shows the country's five-year trend, 2020 to 2025 developer count, and five-year compound annual growth rate percentage. Graph showing the total number of AI-related open source and public projects on GitHub, with total repos increasing from slightly above 500,000 in 2020 to over 4,000,000 after 2024. Graph titled "Growth in contributors to generative AI projects." It displays the number of distinct contributors from January 2024 to July 2025, which has fluctuated between around 70,000 and over 200,000.

💫 Developers, from open source to enterprise
🤝 Empowering students through partnerships with Hack Club and Major League Hacking to build what’s next
GitHub VP of Developer Relations Martin Woodward on stage at GitHub Universe with a Furby. ASOS takes the stage at GitHub Universe. The slide reads "What if we used GitHub Copilot to tackle the mundane?". Open Healthcare Network takes the stage at GitHub Universe. The slide shows they have 1k+ contributors, 10k commits, and have helped 1.4k hospitals. A student project called Crazy Controllers – a glove that translates human gestures into digital actions.
