According to <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;841-those-are-some-big-numbers" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;841-those-are-some-big-numbers</a> they have 2 million repositories, getting 4500 new ones every day. But that was 2011.<p>On their about page they say they have +53 Mio projects hosted as of today: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;about" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;about</a><p>So, just assume that the average repository is s.th. like 20MB and do the math... sorry, couldn&#x27;t find the average repository size :P
