🧱 I’m starting to build a new team at XBOX focused on products and tools for how games get built and distributed as agentic tools become more capable. This isn’t a design team or an engineering team. It’s a team of people who build products. I’m looking for people who want to push what’s possible across 3D, rich interfaces, platforms, CLIs and creator tools. People who care about simplicity, reducing complexity and making powerful tools feel easy to use. People who can shape a vision, prototype, make decisions and turn ideas into something real. If that sounds like you, I’d love to talk.

drowning in low-quality PRs? we're giving maintainers the power to set contribution limits, starting with a PR cap for outside contributors and an allowlist for your trusted ones. sneak peek below 👇

We added intent preloading to the Files Changed tab on pull requests. When you hover the tab, we start fetching data before you click. The result? Page loads are 20-35% faster across the board. You'll feel it the next time you switch tabs on a PR. Enjoy! ✨

Nice improvement for the PR list view in big OSS projects
Replying to @helenhousandi
And finally, my fave of the day: we brought the user role labels to the PRs list view. These respect org membership visibility, and some, like first-time contributor, only show to maintainers so you can prioritize bringing new contributors into the fold. github.blog/changelog/2026-0…

Yup, platform activity is surging. There were 1 billion commits in 2025. Now, it's 275 million per week, on pace for 14 billion this year if growth remains linear (spoiler: it won't.) GitHub Actions has grown from 500M minutes/week in 2023 to 1B minutes/week in 2025, and now 2.1B minutes so far this week. So we're pushing incredibly hard on more CPUs, scaling services, and strengthening GitHub’s core features. And as a fine purveyor of hand-crafted shit code for many years, I'm not gonna weigh in on that. 🤣

🆕 Issues semantic search is now GA with API support Really useful particularly if an agent needs to search over GitHub issues and can lift coding agent quality when choosing to use semantic Check it out and let us know what you think
New GitHub Issues search today! Results have been much better internally in testing and excited for everyone to be able to use it. A couple other issues ships in the queue for next week too from the highly request list 👀
