Who's challenging GitHub? Market Map 2026. 27 companies going after GitHub's code hosting, from AI-native forges to decentralised networks and open-source forges.

Commits on GitHub nearly tripled to 34.3B in the 12 months to September, and AI agents started more than 40% of its pull requests in September, GitHub's Octoverse report says. On 4 November an outage took down GitHub's pull requests, Git operations and issues for two hours. The same day OpenAI said it will buy Pierre, whose Code Storage service lets AI agents store code. Pierre is one of 27 companies on this map going after GitHub, from GitLab and Bitbucket to new version-control tools and decentralised networks such as Radicle.

    SpaceX will try to catch both the Super Heavy booster and the Starship upper stage with its launch tower's arms on Flight 15, targeted for 13 November. It has caught the booster three times but never the ship, which returns from orbit. If both catches work, every part of an orbital rocket will have come back intact for the first time. The flight still needs an FAA licence.
