GitHub rebuilds Git infrastructure to cope with agent-scale development

GitHub announced a rebuild of its Git infrastructure to support the high-concurrency read-write load brought by agent-scale development. In August 2026, GitHub's monthly Git event volume reached 473.3 billion (more than double year-over-year), and in September agents and developers produced 7.38 billion commits (over five times that of five years earlier), and pushes grew 4.9 times year-over-year.
