What an incredible and productive year! A few days ago the 10 millionth repository was created on GitHub.com, just in time for the new year.
The first million repositories were created in just under 4 years; 3 years, 8 months and 15 days to be exact. This last million took just 48 days. In fact, over 5.5M repositories — more than half of the repositories on the site — were created this year alone.
To celebrate, here's a look at some of the popular, interesting, and noteworthy projects that came online in 2013:
Project Open Data, the repo behind the White House's Open Data Policy
Docker, the open source application container engine
Tate Metadata, metadata for 70,000 works of art that the Tate owns or jointly owns with the National Galleries of Scotland
Lots of great projects released by Amazon [2] [3], Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Netflix, Square, Twitter, and Walmart [2], just to name a few.

We'll be sharing some more stats from the year soon, but for now, happy holidays and here's to the next 10 million!
