Interesting review of 2012 from Github in The Octoverse in 2012:
Since the beginning of the year, we’ve seen a doubling in activity, with pushes alone responsible for over 60% of the events in a given day. On a typical weekday, 10k people sign up for a GitHub account, and our users:
- push 140GB of new data
- create 25k repositories and 7k pull requests
- push to 125k repositories
- Best of all:
10k people create their very first repository
Apart from their impressive growth, this little fact caught my eye:
The top 10 countries visiting GitHub.com are: United States, Germany, United Kingdom, China, Japan, France, India, Canada, Russia and Brazil. The top 10 cities are: London, San Francisco, New York, Paris, Moscow, Beijing, Berlin, Bangalore, Sydney and Toronto.
London is the #1 city for Github users? Go London!
