GitHub Insights from 860 Million Event Logs of 2020
Open source software has become a cornerstone of our digital world, and open collaboration plays an enormous role in the development of human digital civilization.GitHub, the world's largest open source collaboration platform, produced a massive amount of developer behavior data.We obtained 860 million event logs generated in 2020 and analyzed 14.54 million active developers and 54.21 million active projects.
What have we learned?
01
Please read our GitHub 2020 Digital Insight Report. Click "Read more" at bottom to read the complete report.This report, which is also an open source project, explores the status of global trends in open source. You will find an in-depth analysis of developers and projects, case studies, and insights about individual contribution patterns, group collaboration models, community health status, development trends, and business value.
Here are some highlights
02
The global open source industry has developed greatly. The active behavior of the community, the number of developers, and the number of open source repositories have all increased significantly;
The automation of open source software pipeline has been greatly improved, and diversified digital collaborative robots have begun to enter the mainstream;
An activity model based on massive data can effectively and continuously reflect the overall status of developers and communities;
The working hours of mainstream developers in GitHub communities show clear patterns and gradually overlap with developers’ working hours in companies.
Corporate open source has become the absolute mainstream, and ‘996 working hour open source projects’ have begun to crop up;
The Americas have the largest distribution of developers; Europe has the highest percentage of developers in a single time zone, while the number of Asian developers is still on the low end. Compared with other Asian countries, China boasts a higher level of open source activities;
JavaScript and Python still occupy the first and second place, respectively, in the language rankings; HTML and CSS are more popular in the context of global developers, while TypeScript and Rust have significantly gained in prominence;
Established companies such as Google and Microsoft remain major contributors to open source. China-headquartered e-commerce giant Alibaba ranks topmost in terms of activity metric, while PingCAP has recorded an impressive performance;
For the first time, a more complete picture of GitHub open source projects is revealed through the OpenGalaxy, which we introduce in this report. An open source ecosystem has formed in the mainstream technology field. New communities are constantly emerging, while a very small number of projects are still isolated collaboration islands;
Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), Linux Foundation (LF), Apache Software Foundation (ASF), as well as other foundations, are noted for their own strengths in the technical field. We also introduce the Open Source Quadrant, which can further distinguish different development stages and maturity levels of similar open source projects;
Developer time zone distribution maps and developer collaboration networks have become effective means of reflecting the diversity and robustness of open source communities, and can better guide the open source community governance.
Summary and Outlook
03
As a data-driven visualization tool, GitHub 2020 Digital Insight Report mainly provides you with a new perspective on today's open source world as well as insights from intersecting with industrial experiences. Starting from this annual report, we will also maintain the work as an open source project, shorten the release cycle, and provide professional consulting services on demand.

GitHub 2020 Digital Insights Report was initiated by X-lab, planned by the Allumos open source technology media, and jointly completed with East China Normal University, Kaiyuanshe, Shanghai Open Source Information Technology Association, along with many other scientific research institutions and open source community institutes.
