What technology stack does GitHub use?

  • I see that hosting your own Git repositories for multiple users can get hairy if you use bare Git software. It involves unix user permissions and such - not very scalable. What technology does GitHub use that appears to make this possible? Have they mentioned what they use, anywhere?

I don't know why I didn't do a quick web search before asking this question, but I found a technique mentioned in a StackOverflow answer (http://stackoverflow.com/a/3354511/865091) that seems to be able to handle this. It seems that GitHub is using JavaScript/AJAX to transition between different pages/content without reloading the entire page, while using a JS call (essentially, window.history.pushState(...)) to manipulate the browser's history, which also happens to update the visual URL. The StackOverflow answer was from 2009, so sadly, it seems like this "old" developer (me) hasn't been able to keep up with web frontend techniques and browser capabilities as much as I'd like! This shows in my naivete to this question as well as the number of "Why didn't I think of that" moments while going through

They use "PJAX" for the seamless transitions: pjax is a jQuery plugin that uses ajax and pushState to deliver a fast browsing experience with real permalinks, page titles, and a working back button. https://github.com/defunkt/jquery-pjax (seems its now pjax2: https://github.com/github/pjax) Github uses github so you can check out a lot of their libraries at https://github.com/github
