GitHub Records 1.3 Billion Merged Pull Requests in 12 Months

GitHub logged 17.9 billion pushes, 34.3 billion commits and 1.3 billion merged pull requests in the year through Sept. 30, as detectable coding-agent drafts spread across the platform. The 12-month tally covers Oct. 1, 2025, through Sept. 30, 2026, and activity figures generally include public and private repositories. Merged pull requests averaged 3.5 million a day. The figures set new highs across all three measures. GitHub recalculated prior-year figures using the same definitions and period. The totals measure different actions. A push can contain multiple commits, while a merged pull request is counted separately.
