At GitHub Universe, Andrea talks with Ron Efroni (Flox/NixOS Foundation) and Rob Ferguson (Former Microsoft for Startups) about environment hell, why containers don’t fully solve reproducibility, and how Flox builds on Nix for portable, secure, deterministic environments—plus Series B plans, Kubernetes support, CUDA distribution, and the Microsoft for Startups program.   

John Leider, the creator of Vuetify, joins us to talk about his incredible journey as an open source maintainer and show us how to use Vuetify to build beautiful UIs! Bring your questions and curiosity! Project: https://lnkd.in/exM8y_pN

I'm thrilled to announce the Open Source Assistive Technology Hackathon! Join us on May 21–22 at the GitHub headquarters in San Francisco (SF) to celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day. Join us for this free, 2-day, in-person event focused on empowering participants to build skills and make real contributions to the assistive technology (AT) tools people rely on every day. New to open source or GitHub? Join us for the GitHub Learning room to learn about core GitHub contribution workflows and practice navigating repositories, issues, pull requests, and code reviews with confidence. This workshop led by Jeffrey Bishop will also cover NVDA and keyboard-only navigation! Ready to contribute? Join us to contribute to one of our featured open source AT projects! We will have maintainers and collaborators available to help. Featured project: NVDA - you’ll also have a special opportunity to collaborate with members of the NVDA team, who will join remotely to help you get set up, answer questions, and review contributions to NVDA. We’re seeking additional projects. If you maintain (or contribute to) an AT project and would like your project to be part of the hackathon - whether it needs docs improvements, triage support, testing, or small starter issues - please reach out to me. Got a new idea you want to work on? Bring it and work on it with accessibility and technology experts! No need for technical skills!

GitHub Copilot CLI just went generally available, and we are going live to break it down with Ryan Hecht. This is not just "ask AI to write a shell command." Copilot CLI is an agentic assistant with specialized built-in agents for exploring codebases, running tasks, planning implementations, and reviewing code. It can work step by step with your approval or run autonomously, all without leaving your terminal. #GitHub #GitHubCopilot #CLI #LiveCoding

It's true: TypeScript surpassed Python and JavaScript to become the most-used language on GitHub. 📈 Why? It comes down to the "convenience loop." AI handles the boilerplate, making strict typing an advantage, not a chore. Check out the data: • TypeScript grew 66% YoY 🚀 • Shell scripting usage in AI-generated projects jumped 206% 👀 Here's the full story on how AI is reshaping our tech stack. 👇 https://lnkd.in/diwquSAb
