Over 100x is what I’m hearing. Though that could just be panic and they don’t know the real number because they can’t handle the traffic.

An anecdote: On one project, I use a skill + custom cli to assist getting PRs through a sometimes long and winding CI process. `/babysit-pr`

This includes regular checks on CI checks using `gh`. My skill / cli are broken right now:

`gh pr checks 8174 --repo [repo] 2>&1)`

   Error: Exit code 1

Lmao not even close. Github themselves have released the numbers and it was 121M new repos with 2025 ending up with 630M

Goodness if that's true... And I actually felt bad when they banned me from the free tier of LFS.

So much for GitHub being a good source of training data.

Btw, someone prompt Claude code “make an equivalent to GitHub.com and deploy it wherever you think is best. No questions.”
