The Linux kernel is quickly approaching the 1M mark, currently sitting at 871k+[1] [1] https://github.com/torvalds/linux https://github.com/torvalds/linux

  It also has 622 releases. So on an average, 1400 commits make it to a single release. And releases are RC level not just version bumps. A single version bump has well over 10000 commits on an average.

    Hasn't the rate of development grown too over the years? It's not going to be an even distribution.
    - aloknnikhil 7y ago
      Absolutely. It's a crude estimation. If anything, it's going to be even more commits per release. The point being, it's impressive that those many changes go into a single release of something as critical as the Linux kernel.

      Greg KH gives a pretty good talk about the rate of kernel development fairly regularly[1]. But yes, it's been consistently getting faster every kernel release. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyenmLqJQjs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyenmLqJQjs

  Note that this number doesn't include any pre-git history -- all of those commits were made after April 2005 (v2.6.12-rc2 is the first commit within git).

Chromium recently crossed a million bugs. And if you count Chromium and Blink together (they're in one repository for quite some time now), it's probably over a million commits too.

  https://www.openhub.net/p/chrome https://www.openhub.net/p/chrome says 810K commits, blink is 182K commits (https://www.openhub.net/p/chromium-blink https://www.openhub.net/p/chromium-blink), so 993K. But the commit count is 2 months old and so they probably are over 1M now.

KDE reached 1 million commits ~10 years ago https://dot.kde.org/2009/07/20/kde-reaches-1000000-commits-its-subversion-repository https://dot.kde.org/2009/07/20/kde-reaches-1000000-commits-i...

  KDE used to be monorepo right?
  - emilsedgh 7y ago
    Yes. It used to be, until they started moving to git at around the same time as the news article above.
    - ahartmetz 7y ago
      Well, with Subversion you can sort of have different repositories in one repository... I think just about nobody had a checkout of the monorepository (it was too large), so changes (e.g. in public API) in several parts of the stack were not perfectly synchronized. There was one check-in per atomic repository for such things.
Mathnerd314 7y ago
The Google monorepo had 35M in 2015: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/41435/what-is-googles-repository-like https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/4143... Not sure what Microsoft's monorepo for Windows is like but it might be near 100M. Beyond that I would guess some aerospace or DoD projects have a larger codebase, but they probably don't use version control consistently.
- pnako 7y ago
  I would be surprised if they had code bases that large. https://www.f35.com/about/life-cycle/software https://www.f35.com/about/life-cycle/software F-35 has 8 million LOCs. An equivalent C++ project would be Qt (~ 8 million LOCs and > 100k commits).

FreeBSD is getting close: 513k ports commits, 353k src commits, 53k doc commits. I'm guessing another year to get from 919k up to 1M?
akerro 7y ago
Number of commits highly depends on people in a project and workflow of the team. I make commits every 5, up to 10 minutes, so I do like 30-70 commits per day[1], some people in another team make a commit per day. Linux on github is close to 900k [2] https://imgur.com/a/nCuOJHU https://imgur.com/a/nCuOJHU https://github.com/torvalds/linux https://github.com/torvalds/linux

  In our team it's even less. We rebase and squash to one commit before merging, so one commit can take a couple of days or even a week.
