깃허브, 한국 개발자 수 266만 명 돌파···”글로벌 영향력 빠르게 확대”

보고서에 따르면 깃허브 플랫폼 내 한국 개발자 수는 현재 266만 명을 돌파한 것으로 나타났다. 지난 12개월 동안 한국에서 약 45만 명의 신규 개발자가 깃허브에 합류했으며, 이는 전년 대비 20% 증가한 수치다.

이번 리포트는 한국 개발자들의 글로벌 영향력이 빠르게 확대되고 있음을 보여줬다. 깃허브에 따르면 한국은 ▲오픈소스 기여자 수 11위 ▲오픈소스 기여 활동 6위 ▲AI 관련 저장소 기여 6위를 기록하며 전 세계 소프트웨어와 AI 혁신을 이끄는 주요 국가로 자리매김했다.

깃허브 아시아태평양 지역 부사장 셰린 네이피어는 “한국의 개발자 커뮤니티가 그 어느 때보다 빠르게 성장하고 있다. 올해 옥토버스 리포트 결과는 AI가 개발자가 할 수 있는 업무의 범위와 개발 속도, 그리고 참여의 폭을 확장하고 있음을 보여주는 명확한 증거”라고 말했다.

이어 네이피어는 “에이전틱 AI의 등장으로 지능화 혁신의 새로운 물결은 이미 시작됐다”라고 말했다. 그는 “한국 개발자들이 이를 적극적으로 수용하면서 주요 산업 전반에 걸쳐 혁신이 촉진될 것이다. 개발자 저변 확대와 AI 기반 워크플로우의 결합은 생산성 향상 및 혁신 가속화, 경쟁력 강화를 넘어 한국의 차세대 디지털 도약을 주도할 것”이라고 강조했다.

AI 기반 개발 도구 도입 역시 국내 대기업을 중심으로 빠르게 확산되고 있다. KT, 카카오, LG전자 등은 이미 ‘깃허브 코파일럿(GitHub Copilot)’을 도입해 개발자 생산성 향상을 추진하고 있다.

깃허브의 옥토버스 리포트에 따르면 지난 1년간 총 3,600만 명이 새롭게 깃허브에 합류했다. 이는 매초 한 명 이상의 개발자가 가입한 수준이다. 이로써 깃허브를 사용하는 전 세계 개발자 수는 1억 8천만 명을 돌파하며, 플랫폼 역사상 가장 빠른 성장률을 달성했다.

깃허브는 2024년 말 출시된 ‘코파일럿 프리(Copilot Free)’가 수백만 명의 신규 개발자를 깃허브의 AI 기반 워크플로우로 이끌었다고 분석했다. 특히 신규 가입자의 80%가 첫 주 안에 코파일럿을 사용해, AI가 이제 개발 과정의 새로운 표준으로 자리 잡았음을 보여준다고 설명했다.

또한 2025년 한 해 동안 퍼블릭 및 오픈소스 프로젝트에서의 기여 건수는 11억 2천만 건을 돌파했다. 특히 2025년 7월 한 달 동안만 550만 건의 이슈가 해결되며, 2024년 월평균 340만 건을 크게 웃도는 역대 최고치를 기록했다. 아울러 올해 월평균 4,320만 건의 풀 리퀘스트(PR)가 병합돼 전년 대비 23% 증가했으며, 총 10억 건에 달하는 커밋(commit) 푸시가 이루어지며 역대 최고치를 경신했다. 

깃허브에 따르면 올해 가장 많이 사용된 언어는 타입스크립트(TypeScript)였다. 2025년 한 해 동안 기여자 수가 100만 명 이상 증가하며 전년도 대비 66% 성장했는데, 이는 지난 10년 중 가장 큰 언어 전환율이다. 이러한 증가는 타입스크립트를 기반으로 한 프레임워크의 확산과, 보다 엄격한 타입 시스템을 통해 AI 지원 개발의 효율성을 높이려는 추세에 따른 결과로 분석됐다.

파이썬 역시 AI 분야에서 여전히 핵심적인 입지를 보유하고 있으며, 기여자 수는 전년 대비 49% 증가한 260만 명을 기록했다. 전체 플랫폼 내 절반 이상의 신규 AI 프로젝트가 파이썬을 기반으로 개발된 것으로 나타났다.

깃허브에 따르면 AI 및 자동화 기술이 발전하면서 개발자들이 보안 취약점을 발견하고 수정하는 시간도 크게 단축시켰다. 주요 취약점의 평균 수정 기간은 37일에서 26일로 30% 줄었으며, 디펜더봇(Dependabot) 도입률은 전년 대비 137% 증가해 84만6천 개의 저장소에서 활용되고 있다. 또한 코파일럿 오토픽스(Copilot Autofix)는 매달 6,000개 이상의 저장소에서 ‘접근 제어 오류’ 등의 문제를 자동으로 해결하고 있다. 결과적으로 심각한 보안 경고를 받은 저장소 수가 전년 대비 26% 감소한 것으로 나타났다.
