It really is. I know I've gone from tens a month to thousands a month. They have to be projecting >100B/month in the next year or two.
wow. they should really institute a maximum amount of individual pushes per-month per-user.
Everyone suggesting that they simply charge users for commits to drive off AI-heavy users forgets that Github is owned by Microsoft, who has a big incentive to keep having developers use AI. I suspect that Microsoft would even prefer to have Github operate at a loss, if that loss were because all its users were using their models and paying for OpenAI subscriptions to generate the code.

"Since April, monthly commits have grown from 1.4 billion to 2.9 billion. " Wow, that is some incredible growth in a really short time.

Don’t forget jitter!
I always add some jitter but never actually had a problem where it would have been relevant. Recently I added it to a project where others also see it (not just a hobby thingy but something at work) and I was wondering if it would look silly, like premature optimisation. I looked on Wikipedia for how established the practice is and it barely gets a sentence... with no reference. Do you know of a documented instance w…
I felt dirty implementing such a solution (introducing randomness for the sake of randomness is off-putting), but it worked. It wasn't until a while later that I even heard the term "jitter" in this context and realized this was a pretty decent solution for this kind of problem.
Regardless, if you're going to introduce something where adding jitter is appropriate, I'd just just add jitter. It's not premature optimization; it's an essential part of that kind of functionality.
Sorry to suggest this but if they charged everyone say $1/mo. it would absolutely help the massive surge from AI coding they seem to have had. I don't like paying for free stuff but gh certainly worth it.
Unfortunately time and time again, the overwhelming majority of people show that they would rather deal with an unreliable scummy company for "free" than pay $1/mo for a reliable service which treats them with respect :(

Why is Github talking about number of commits here, and not pushes? Are there a lot of tools/people using github as an online editing platform?

https://forgejo.org/ promises to be this, have only lightly used it on https://codeberg.org/ but it seems nice?
"Forgejo is a self-hosted lightweight software forge" That says absolutely nothing. The "What is Forgejo?" question is unanswered and instead you get a lot of words about their values, their inclusivity, etc. And the next thing in the docs is how to install it. It's ridiculous. I still don't know what it is or what it does.
self-hosted > You install it on your server
lightweight > It does not consume a lot of resources (cpu, disk, ram)
software forge > offers tools that help with creating software collaboratively (repository hosting, change request management, wiki for docs,…)

You're in luck, GP comment described it for you.
