I wonder if GitHub is feeling the crush of fully automated development workflows? Must be a crazy number of commits now to personal repos that will never convert to paid orgs.

IME this all started after MSFT acquired GitHub but well before vibe coding took the world by storm.

ETA: Tangentially, private repos became free under Microsoft ownership in 2019. If they hadn't done that, they could've extracted $4 per month from every vibe coder forever(!)

Why would every vibe coder necessarily use private repos?

IIRC they were kinda forced to make private repos free because competitors like Gitlab had it and they felt threatened.

Is someone who is not really using github's free service losing something important?

This is the real scenario behind the scenes. They are struggling with scale.

How much has the volume increased, from what you know?

I was wondering about that the other day, the sheer amount of code, repos, and commits being generated now with AI. And probably more large datasets as well.

No, its because they are in the middle of a AWS->Azure migration, and because they cannot/will not be held accountable for downtime.

Live by the AI Agent hype, die by the AI Agent crush.
