Recent data released by GitHub on January 18 revealed that Pakistan has ranked third among countries experiencing a notable rise in active developers over the past year. GitHub is a prominent platform where individuals collaborate on coding projects and share software code. For developers seeking employment in the software industry, maintaining an active GitHub profile holds great importance.
GitHub’s Innovation Graph tracks global trends in developer activity, showcasing Pakistan’s substantial increase in active developers, marking a growth rate of 42.6% over the past year. Similarly, Bangladesh observed a significant surge in developer activity, nearly doubling its developer count compared to the previous year. This trend indicates a shift where countries beyond traditional tech hubs are increasingly participating in software development.
The data is derived from activity in public repositories on GitHub, where individuals openly share their code. Although it doesn’t encompass all GitHub activity, it provides insights into countries experiencing growth in software development.
The surge in GitHub developers suggests that these nations are becoming more engaged in technology and innovation. For instance, Bangladesh’s expanding economy has enabled more people to access digital tools, fostering contributions to the IT sector.
