Developers

The developers metric represents the number of developer accounts on GitHub in a given economy. This count excludes users that are bots or otherwise flagged as “spammy” within internal systems. See our documentation for personal accounts for more information. Note that this count includes developer accounts that may no longer be active.

Count of Developers Among Top 30 Economies

How to read this chart

Each data point corresponds to the number of developers in the economy during a given quarter. Greater values appear higher on the chart and later values appear farther to the right.

Methodological note

Metrics for economies are only reported when there are 100 or more unique developers performing the relevant activity within the time period. See the datasheet in our repository for more on the metrics, definitions, representativeness, and limitations of the GitHub Innovation Graph.
