An on-ramp for every developer
We prioritize global accessibility—through localization, outreach, and community building—so the next generation of developers can find their way in.
On-ramp the next generation
The MLH Fellowship, powered by GitHub, pairs students with open source projects and mentors across 32+ regions—and GitHub Education has reached 2.5M+ students worldwide.
Inclusive language
We helped lead the industry shift from “master” to “main,” and GitHub for mobile now ships in five languages so more developers can build in their own.
Amplify new voices
GitHub Sponsors funds the maintainers we all depend on, while The ReadME Project and GitHub Stars give a diverse range of developers a global stage.
Teams that reflect the world
We want our teams to mirror the global developer community, so we invest in diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and life experiences—backed by continuous learning, allyship training, and close partnership with our Communities of Belonging.
