GitHub was built for a world where humans write code, organize it into repositories, and collaborate through branches, commits, issues, and pull requests.

But the next generation of software is going to be built differently because it is going to be built by a different kind of developer: agents.

Agents are already writing more code than ever before — they’re fixing bugs, building features, writing tests, reviewing changes, updating dependencies, and doing the routine maintenance required to keep an application running.

So in this new world where you have hundreds, or even thousands, of agents working on the same codebase at the same time, what does the foundation look like?

How do agents know what other agents are working on? What happens when they make conflicting changes? How do you review everything they produce? How do you keep track of not just what changed, but why a change was made?

And so the burning question is: What does the next GitHub look like?

We want you to help us answer it, by building it out.

Earlier this year, we launched Artifacts, a versioned filesystem that speaks Git and can scale to millions of repositories. From the start, we designed Artifacts as a set of programmable primitives that developers could use to build their own products, workflows, and abstractions.

Artifacts provides the foundation: repositories that can be created and forked programmatically, versioned storage for code and agent context, and the Git operations agents already know how to use.

With that foundation in place, you can focus on the layer above it: how agents coordinate their work, how changes are reviewed and merged, and what the developer experience should look like when hundreds or thousands of agents are working on the same codebase.

That is the layer we want you to build.

Now that Artifacts is in open beta, we’re holding a competition to see who can build the next Git platform on Cloudflare using Workers and Artifacts.

Artifacts is in open beta. Here’s why you should build on it

When we launched Artifacts, our goal was to make it possible to create a repository for every agent, session, task, or u
