GitHub rebuilds Git infrastructure for agent-scale development

Summary

GitHub says it is rebuilding its Git infrastructure to keep up with agentic software development, where developers and agents work concurrently in the same repositories. According to the company, GitHub saw 7.38 billion commits in September, more than five times a year earlier, while monthly pushes grew 4.9x year over year to 3.35 billion and Actions runs reached 3.26 billion, more than four times a year earlier. Because agents in tight loops commit after nearly every action, write throughput and latency are becoming the new bottlenecks.

Why it matters for our work

The spread of AI coding agents is now reshaping the plumbing underneath developer tools. Keeping this infrastructure fast is what keeps team automation speeds from stalling.
