[Reply to " 1024 " and send you a special push]
Comments: I don’t know why, but I always feel that GitHub has been established for more than 10 years. Do you have this illusion?
This article is an article written by GitHub co-founder and CEO: Chris Wanstrath in Computer World Magazine .
When we look back at GitHub over the past decade, we don't think about a single piece of software, but about how people have changed with GitHub.
Ten years ago, GitHub was officially launched. The original intention is simple: to connect developers and make projects better with Git. Over the past ten years, we have grown into a company and a platform, but our original intention has never changed. It's not a great idea or something big that makes this platform special, it's the people who use it, thank you GitHub for ten years, and thank you.
When we look back over the past ten years, we don't remember one piece of software, but what people did with GitHub. GitHub is used around the world to share, teach, tinker, and build. When we first launched GitHub, we had absolutely no idea that it would grow to such a size, with so many contributions and connections.
Going forward, we will keep it simple. The future is in your hands and you define it. We would like to follow you.
In the meantime, thank you for your code, your merges, your documentation, the projects you share, and everything you do on GitHub.
Thank you, 10 years.
We've rounded up some of the milestones from this decade, and today, on this special day, let's look back. Not ready for the next decade.

微软也成为 GitHub 上最活跃的组织之一，数千名工程师，设计师和程序经理在平台和编程语言中贡献和发布软件。
微软和谷歌等大公司对开源软件的重视，代表了他们对软件的态度。他们向我们表明，有时候重要的不是技术，而是社区以及人们如何使用技术。
2015.3.2：虚幻引擎 4 源代码免费提供
Epic Games 的团队发布了免费版本的「虚幻 4」引擎，这让创意与开发更更紧密连接在一起。免费的源代码允许访问主要功能。从错误修复到 Git 集成，他们的最新版本得到了 128 个 contribution 的帮助。
由于开源游戏引擎，Game 成为了 2017 GitHub 最受欢迎的类目。Phaser，Godot Engine 和其他项目，如 Itch.io，正在塑造人们建立和分享独立游戏的方式。像 2048 这样的开源学习资源和游戏，激发了数百个 Clone，邀请了更多的人来玩和创造。
2015.9.22：GitHub class 开课
GitHub Class 使教师更容易分发代码收集作业，今天，高中、大学、编程培训机构的学生们正在使用它来学习，现在有超过 180 万个 class 的库，但这也仅仅是 GitHub 教育资源的一部分。

2016.7.9：阿波罗 11 代码开源
阿波罗 11 号于 1969 年登月，四十七年后，它的启动源代码登录 GitHub，其中还包含了很多彩蛋，这也证明了 20 世纪 60 年代的程序员也有幽默感。
NASA 维护者数百个开源项目，包括火星可视化地图，通过 TensorFlow 来识别系外行星的软件等等。
你还可以找到 SpaceX 这些公司的开源项目。
2017.2.10：Python 团队打开他们的第一个 pull request
在过去十年，Pyhon 已经成为增长最快的主要编程语言之一，自 2015 年来，它一直稳居 GitHub 语言前三。

感谢您创建的存储库，感谢您的贡献以及您构建的软件。
感谢你 10 年的代码。
How many of us has GitHub helped over the past 10 years? How many people share and open source code on it? Thanks to all givers. Everyone is welcome to leave a comment about the help or interesting things GitHub has brought to you. In addition, what year did you all join? It's faster to leave a message than to see who joined.
