Are they still fast-growing? I would have thought that their growth curve would be flattening out at this point.

Most of the big tech companies already have a presence there, and they've been the go-to for VCS-using developers for a few years now.

That is a pretty Anglo-Centric viewpoint I would say. I know of companies in Japan that are moving onto GH:E with users ranging from 20 -> 300+ of which there are probably tens of thousands similarly sized around the world that are not yet on GH or GH:E.

Github recently created a Japanese subsidiary which is telling.

It's an anglo-centric viewpoint, for what was (until recently it sounds) an anglo-centric company.

Glad they're growing internationally! :-)

Hmm, apparently it is slowing, according to Donnie Berkholtz http://redmonk.com/dberkholz/2014/09/26/githubs-vanishing-ac...

The growth will be in non tech companies starting to do software, and non software uses of git, but noth of those will be slower perhaps. And maybe Windows shops moving to git too.
