GitHub — the logo

GitHub is an American code-hosting platform founded in 2008 by Tom Preston-Werner, Chris Wanstrath, P. J. Hyett, and Scott Chacon. The Octocat mascot — a half-octopus, half-cat character — was created by British designer Simon Oxley as stock art before GitHub acquired exclusive rights at launch. Microsoft purchased GitHub in 2018 for $7.5 billion.
