GitHub for Beginners: Getting started with GitHub Actions Set up your first GitHub Actions workflow in this how-to guide.

You know that thing you do every. single. time someone opens an issue? Or pushes to main? Or creates a PR?

Stop doing it manually.

Our next episode of GitHub for Beginners dives into automating your workflows with GitHub Actions.

What to expect for open source in 2026 Let’s dig into the 2025’s open source data on GitHub to see what we can learn about the future.

Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Germany, and India fueled a massive surge in 2025, adding nearly 36 million new developers to GitHub. 🌏

India alone added 5.2 million. 🇮🇳

But how do we turn this record growth into healthy communities?

Here is how open source scales in a global era. 📈

A computer screen displays code for a Monte Carlo simulation using pizza. The background features a grid with pizza splats. The code includes a Python function, `estimate_pi_from_pizza_splats`, with calculations to estimate Pi. On the screen, a message reads: "After 10,000 throws, Pi is served: #result" where #result represents a variable.

The standard libraries already include π. But where’s the fun in that?
Happy #PiDay! 🍕

How do you keep track of your work?

Our tip for beginners: say goodbye to that extra meeting, and hello to Issues and Projects.

GitHub for Beginners season 3 is back and here to help you level up—or dust off—your GitHub skills.

We're back, and this time we're answering the questions you've been asking: From "How do I start with GitHub issues?" to "How do I build a portfolio?"

Learn GitHub from the people who built it. Coming soon!

Semantic search for GitHub Issues is now in public preview. It understands your intent, not just exact terms—so you still find what you need, even with a slight mismatch.

Access all pull request comments without leaving the new Files changed page - GitHub Changelog When reviewing a pull request, it’s common to move back and forth between the “Files changed” and the “Conversation” pages just to understand the full context. With this update, you…

New update for pull requests. 🚀

You can now follow the discussion directly in the "Files changed" tab. No more context switching.

Plus, we streamlined change requests: If you’ve already commented, skip the summary and just submit.

Get the details. ⬇️

It just got a lot easier to spin up new GitHub Projects!

You can now import things from a query (same queries as in Issues):

Securing the AI software supply chain: Security results across 67 open source projects The GitHub Secure Open Source Fund helped 67 critical AI‑stack projects accelerate fixes, strengthen ecosystems, and advance open source resilience.

From securing the AI stack to strengthening the global supply chain, find out how these maintainers are making security improvements that benefit the entire ecosystem. 👇

In Session 3 of the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund, 67 more projects improved their defenses.

Who knows how to secure open source better than the maintainers themselves? 🛡️

A GitHub contributions graph is displayed, showing "0214 contributions in the last year." The graph's bars form four green heart shapes. Below, a list titled "Contribution activity - February 2026" shows Copilot's responses to the user's five love languages. Words of Affirmation "Your code is so beautiful, I almost didn't blame you for pushing straight to main... almost." Quality Time "I express my love by pairing with you so long, even your coffee needs a pull request to leave the room." Physical Touch "I care so much, I'll hover over your keyboard and physically guide your hand away from that merge button—true intimacy, developer style." Acts of Service "My way of showing I care? Quietly refactoring your code at 2am so you wake up to a surprise commit and a passive-aggressive TODO comment." Receiving Gifts "I love you so much, I'll gift you the rarest of treasures: a bug-free Friday deploy.. wrapped in a bow of unit tests and sarcastic commit messages."

We asked Copilot to interpret the five love languages for you this Valentine's Day. 💚

And we're particularly excited about using this to help open-source maintainers. When we showed this to @frenck.social, the maintainer of Home Assistant, he wrote a workflow that reads the traces for bugs and figures out if they originate in the HA codebase or not.

True noise elimination for OSS.

Automate repository tasks with GitHub Agentic Workflows Build automations using coding agents in GitHub Actions to handle triage, documentation, code quality, and more.

We're super jazzed to be launching GitHub Agentic Workflows into technical preview today!

"Generative AI" kind of fooled us into thinking that AI is synchronous, but async AI can have so much more value for us as developers. 🧵

Welcome to the Eternal September of open source. Here's what we plan to do for maintainers. As contribution friction drops, maintainers are adapting with new trust signals, triage approaches, and community-led solutions.

Open source is growing faster than ever. But to manage that growth, maintainers need better tools to scale. ⚒️

Here's our plan to make maintaining easier, quieter, and more sustainable. 👇
