The 3D printers are working overtime in the office. You are definitely going to want to come check out the Makerspace at GitHub Universe next week 👀

We still want to find a way to bring the community together. If you planned to be in California for the Grace Hopper Celebration, I invite you to join us this year for GitHub Universe, Oct 28-29. 🌉
We've set aside 75 complimentary passes for folks with cancelled registrations. While this doesn't replace the conference and Universe has far fewer attendees than GHC, my hope is that it does give folks an opportunity to connect with each other. 📷 DM the GitHub team on LinkedIn or email me at kdaigle+ghc@github.com (first come first serve).

The team at @github and @pimoroni have excelled themselves this year. Definitely the best one yet, can't wait to see what you all build - some great additional components baked on the board.

📣 Coming soon to GitHub Copilot: intelligent local model routing.
We are excited to announce the next step in our Project HydraFusion vision. GitHub Copilot will soon be able to automatically route tasks to a local model when it's most suitable, helping you save on AI credits.

There are two parts to your question:
1. Why wasn’t it done before ?
GitHub load prior to agentic age grew with number of developers and new features released. So its own custom data centers were sufficient and the migration was always going to be technically challenging.

Blog post with more details on the GitHub outage:
1) the load increase the servers are seeing
2) specific fixes made to prevent retry storm and cascading load
3) general scaling plans
On August 17, GitHub experienced a significant outage that disrupted developers and organizations around the world. If you were trying to ship software that day, we let you down.
I posted in March and April about the steps we’re taking to make GitHub more reliable. The work is still underway. Here is an update:

Our CTO shared a blog on GitHub’s reliability, what we’ve already done, and what more we need to do to.
Monthly commits and merged PRs alone have nearly doubled since April. As the home for devs, availability is critical. I'm sorry for the pain and thankful for the support. 🙏

We heard you. And we agree.
In light of recent developments in physical media, GitHub is proud to announce that you can now obtain your public repo on CD-ROM.
Keep it. Lend it to friends. Pass it on to your children.
Your code is physically yours, forever. Until you lose it, let's be real.
Order yours today.

drowning in low-quality PRs?
we're giving maintainers the power to set contribution limits, starting with a PR cap for outside contributors and an allowlist for your trusted ones.
sneak peek below 👇

heads up npm maintainers: npm revoked some granular access tokens (ones with write access that bypass 2FA) as a security precaution. if your CI/CD broke, just regenerate your token.

I don't work on reliability & scaling at GitHub, but the people who do aren't bad at their jobs. They're dealing with unprecedented scale from agents.
It's easy to shit on GitHub from the outside if you're not in charge of 30X-ing capacity within a few months. Have some grace.
Being the foundation for millions of developers means our bar must be higher for availability, reliability, and security. I’m sorry it’s been a rocky stretch at GitHub. We know we need to do better.
Today we published an update on two recent incidents: one on April 23 involving merge queue behavior, and one on April 27 affecting pull requests, issues, projects, and search-backed experiences.
We’re taking this seriously. We’re listening, and you have my commitment that we’ll communicate more frequently about the work underway to improve reliability and scale GitHub for what comes next.

I discovered the wildest feature of @github Copilot CLI by complete accident last night.
You can have models call each other. So you can have Opus, Codex and Gemini all working together in the same chat.🤯
