Is your company using generative AI yet? While it’s still in its infancy, generative AI coding tools are already changing the way developers and companies build software. Generative AI can boost developer and business productivity by automating tasks, improving communication and collaboration, and providing insights that can inform better decision-making. In this post, we’ll explore […]

Although some ReDoS vulnerabilities can be very serious (particularly when they’re server-side and enable an untrusted remote attacker to DOS the server), very often they land much closer to the “annoying” end of the CVSS rating scale: not particularly serious, but easy to create by accident, obscure to understand, and sometimes tricky to fix. The […]

At GitHub, we believe that by empowering developers with intuitive security built into their workflows, we can, together, shift security from reactive to proactive. Since the beta release of secret scanning’s push protection feature for GitHub Advanced Security users in April 2022, developers using push protection have prevented 17,000 potential secret leaks–saving over 95,000 hours […]

As marketers, we understand how important it is to keep up with the latest trends in digital marketing, including the focus on local audiences. And hyperlocal social media marketing is one such trend that you can’t just ignore as a business owner or as a digital marketer. It’s a marketing strategy that combines the power […]

Retrospectives are essential for a team’s ongoing growth and achievement, but they can be exclusionary for team members with disabilities due to the inaccessibility of most retrospective tools. These tools often depend on drag-and-drop functionality, images, color coding, and undefined digital spaces with no clear headings or navigational anchors. To ensure everyone can actively participate, […]

One of the most fundamental tasks developers perform is reading and understanding code. Whether planning and implementing a new feature, investigating a bug, or reviewing a pull request, developers typically spend more time reading and understanding code than writing it. That’s why, in the past two years, we’ve laid out our plans to improve code […]

Modern software engineering practices are essential to deliver value to your users. After all, isn’t that the promise of DevOps? A combination of people, process, and technology to accelerate delivery of value to end users? Value could mean many things. It could mean running a reliable service where your users experience limited downtime. It could […]

GitHub is the home for all developers, a place where we come together to learn, collaborate, and ship code. At GitHub Education, our goal is to welcome students and teachers into that home and provide them with the skills and leading industry tools to complete their academic journey, from classroom engagement to career readiness. We […]

Hello, Rio! I’m Thomas, and I’m a developer. I’ve been looking forward to this for some time, about a year. When I first planned this talk, I wanted to talk about the future of artificial intelligence and applications. But then I thought, why not show you the full power live on stage. Build something with […]

As a developer, there’s a variety of application security tools that you can use to help secure your applications. It’s not uncommon to find yourself balancing multiple tools in your application security stack, whether they be an open source or third-party solution. Code scanning specifically gives you the ability to integrate a variety of code […]

GitHub believes that everyone—especially people from underserved and underrepresented communities — should have access to open source and the necessary skills to engage in open source development. To that end, we launched All In for Students to provide open source training, as well as internships and job opportunities. This past year we started to scale […]

Creating an open source project can feel a bit like sending out an open invite to a party—will it be a roaring good time, or will you unbegrudginly dine on leftover junk food for the following week after nobody shows? When the first guest arrives, you breathe a sigh of relief. The party’s a success, […]

Over the past few months, we’ve made a number of improvements that make Dependabot smarter, quieter, and easier to work with, from pausing pull requests on inactive repositories to making alerts visible to more developers. Today, we’re addressing the alert fatigue problem with a new allow auto-dismissal function in Dependabot that safely reduces the volume […]

Envision a cubic kilometer of seawater—imagine swimming a kilometer out into the ocean, down a kilometer, and over a kilometer. If you could use fusion to tap into the energy from the hydrogen in that volume of seawater, it would […]

The CLI is a critical component of a developer’s toolkit—it’s a trusty sidekick that offers flexibility and control. You can tell it what to do by simply typing in a specific command, and it will execute those commands like moving files, running programs, or even starting up a server, immediately. That being said, the CLI […]
