Case Study: Meta achieves open source collaboration and scale with GitHub

Meta finds its community in GitHub and open source

Meta, with its open source-first culture and global-scale developer base, needed a way to collaborate publicly while supporting massive projects like React and PyTorch. To manage contributions, maintain community engagement, and keep internal and external workflows aligned, Meta turned to GitHub.

GitHub provided the platform, APIs, repositories, pull requests, Actions, and Dependabot alerts Meta used to build custom tooling, streamline stacked diffs, and improve security and CI/CD. With GitHub, Meta scaled to over 600 public repositories, 540,000 commits, more than 200,000 forks, and over a million followers, while speeding developer productivity and helping maintainers keep projects and dependencies up to date.
