Surely copy & paste played a major role in this.

Yep that and forking. But if you fork a repo and change a small thing, I’d it still a duplicate of the other repo?

I don’t think the raw number is what’s so impressive, as much as the fact that there’s more code public on GitHub than I could comprehend in a lifetime.

I am waiting for the results showing how much copy pasta is on the plate.
