Last week, GitHub released the 2025 Octoverse, and the data shows just how fast software development is evolving. Over 180 million developers contributed to more than a billion projects, marking another record year of growth. For the first time, TypeScript overtook both Python and JavaScript in August 2025 to become the most used language on GitHub, reflecting how developers are reshaping their toolkits. This marks the most significant language shift in more than a decade. It’s a fascinating look at where the developer community is heading next. What data or trend stood out to you most from this year’s Octoverse?

At #GitHubUniverse, GitHub introduced Agent HQ — the next evolution, bringing a single, unified workflow that lets developers orchestrate any agent, any time, anywhere. Agent HQ turns GitHub into an open ecosystem for coding agents. Soon, you’ll be able to use agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Cognition, and more — all inside GitHub. The heart of Agent HQ is mission control — a unified command center that follows you across GitHub, VS Code, mobile, and CLI. Assign tasks, track progress, and manage your agents from any device: New in VS Code: • Plan Mode — step-by-step project planning before writing code • Custom agents via AGENTS . md — set rules and guardrails for Copilot • MCP Registry integration — connect tools like Stripe, Figma, and Sentry with a single click Agent HQ also brings confidence to AI-powered development: • GitHub Code Quality (public preview) provides org-wide visibility into maintainability and reliability • First-line Copilot code reviews catch issues before you see the code • Copilot metrics dashboard (public preview) tracks usage and impact across your team 👉 Explore all the details and demos https://msft.it/6044t8S0E
