"The third shift is in the way that AI is reshaping developer choice, not just code. In the past, developer choice referred to choosing an IDE, language, or framework. In the present timeframe, that has changed. GitHub now sees a correlation between the rapid adoption of AI tools and evolving language preferences. This and other shifts suggest AI now influences not only how fast code is written, but which languages and tools developers use."
"As the report states, "Agents are here. Early signals in our data are starting to show their impact, but ultimately point to one key thing: we're just getting started and we expect far greater activity in the months and years ahead," the company said. The GitHub report cited more than 4.3 million AI-related repositories, noting record-level activity across repositories. Developers created more than 230"
AI is changing developer choice by influencing which IDEs, languages, and frameworks are used rather than solely speeding code production. GitHub data shows a link between rapid AI tool adoption and evolving language preferences, with early agent usage signaling future growth in activity. More than 4.3 million AI-related repositories were identified, and developers created over 230 new repositories per minute. Monthly merges averaged 43.2 million pull requests (+23% year over year), and nearly 1 billion commits occurred in the 12-month period ending August 31, 2025 (+25.1% year over year), including a record of nearly 100 million commits in August.
