GitHub
Monthly GitHub activity since 2008: new repositories, issues and pull requests platform-wide; commits carrying an AI tool's co-author trailer (Claude, Copilot, Codex, Cursor); pull requests opened by agent accounts and from agent-named branches; new repositories by AI topic tag; and a derived agent share of pull requests.

AI commit trailers
Each line counts only commits where the tool added its own name, so the real total is higher. ⚠ Above one million GitHub gives an estimate: read the trend, not one month.

PRs opened by agent accounts
These lines count only the pull requests that a bot account opened, so they are too low: many agents push a branch and let the developer open the pull request.

Agent-named PR branches — matched by branch name, not authorship
In June 2024, before these agents existed, this same search found 8 to 93 pull requests a month; today it finds hundreds of thousands.

New repos by AI topic
Owners often add a topic tag years after they create a repository. ⚠ The chart counts each repository in the month someone created it, so the early years are too high.
