    A few days before the onset of 2014, Github managed to step over the 10 million repository mark. Moreover, more than half of them - 5.5 million - were created this year. Github, despite its already enormous size, continues to grow exponentially. If the creation of the first million repositories took three years and eight and a half months, then the last million was registered in forty-eight days.

    In the summer of 2012, Github received $ 100 million in investment from the Andreessen Horowiz fund. This allowed him not only to consolidate his position as the dominant repository for program code, but also to aim for new areas - the Github leadership believes that any project containing arbitrary data benefits from the use of version control systems. Github is already writingbooks , laws , lay out sets of statistics. On October 15, a special section opened for projects related to e-government and the publication of open data.
