As noted, should be (2014). There is also GitHut 2.0: https://madnight.github.io/githut/#/pull_requests/2024/1 This updates through 2024.

Interesting to see the number of JS pushes go down significantly, but actually realize that it's just because many more projects are using TypeScript: https://i.imgur.com/AJBE9so.png

If you sum both, it's 17.204%, which would place it at the top.

Absolutely stunning and ingenious visualization, but disappointing data. In 2014 there were 2.2 million repos, while in 2025 there are closer to 500 million. The repo was last updated seven years ago, so I assume that this project has been abandoned. A cursory glance at the source code[1] reveals that it's using GitHub Archive data. Looking through the gharchive data[2], it seems like it was last updated in 2024. So…

GHArchive is updated constantly, but the tables reflect COMPLETED time periods. So there’s no yearly/2025, yet. You have to look at the monthlies.

Source: just left GOOG after 5 years on the GitHub tooling team.

No usability consideration at all. Yellow on grey (top curve's) is unreadable.

Created https://github.com/madnight/githut/issues/122 with a possible CSS rule fix.
