Some interesting numbers about the PHP GitHub repos in 2017

Marcel Pociot, author of BotMan, used GitHub and Google BigQuery to look up some interesting numbers about the PHP repos in 2017.

It's this time of the year again - the end of the year is coming up fast, so why not step back and take a look at what we, as a PHP community, have achieved this year?

For these statistics, I used the free GitHub Archive data in combination with Google BigQuery, which lets you process 1TB of data per month free of charge.

So let's take a look at some numbers.

My team is mentioned in the article too. Pretty proud of this!

As you can see, Spatie - a company doing a ton of open source projects - is on this list 16 times. Well done ???? !
