GitHub Rebuilds Storage Layer as September Commits Top 7.38 Billion

GitHub is rebuilding the storage infrastructure behind its code-hosting platform after repository activity surged, with 7.38 billion commits recorded in September 2026 and AI-agent workflows accelerating since late 2025. The September total, produced by developers and AI agents combined, was more than five times the level recorded a year earlier. GitHub has not separated the portion generated by AI agents. Overall Git activity rose from 218.2 billion events in September 2025 to 473.3 billion in August 2026. Monthly pushes increased 4.9-fold, from 690 million to 3.35 billion.
