Hey @GitHub, consider this my official request to make this a real item in the GitHub Universe Shop next year ;)
Because, well... everyone at Universe is a rockstar 🤘
Found my star again at #GitHubUniverse this year. 🌟 Still doesn't feel real.
Spent the whole event watching people walk all over me. Worth it. 😄
Thank you, GitHub and the GitHub Stars program! 🫶
That's a wrap on #GitHubUniverse! 🐙 Huge thanks to GitHub and every Hubber for an amazing event, for taking such good care of me, and for all the good times in between. 🫶
Time to head home tomorrow. After all, home is where Home Assistant is. 🏡

November is Home Assistant’s month of “What the Heck?!” 🎉
What makes Home Assistant hard to use? If you set it up, ask the people you live with too. 👀
New, old, technical or not: we want to hear from everyone.

ALT The image is a simple illustration for Home Assistant's month of What the Heck. The image shows a comic book style large title that says "What the Heck?!". The letters are bold white, with a blue outline in the 3D effect. The background of the image is white, with circuit board style lines and points across the image in a light green. Below this title is the date of the month "November 2026". The top left of the image has the Home Assistant logo.

@Frenck and @home_assistant are doing amazing things 🚀
New at #GitHubUniverse: Copilot Fusion, selectable as your "model" in Copilot.
Instead of you picking a model, it looks at what a task needs and runs it across models from all providers, including Anthropic and OpenAI. Aiming for a good result, fast, and at the right cost.
Just on stage at #GitHubUniverse: 220 million merged pull requests a month. Plus 7.38 billion commits and 30.3 million new repos, every month.
Code keeps getting easier to write. That makes the hard part even more important: knowing what to build.

Hanging with @Frenck at #GitHubUniverse getting ready for the keynote!
ALT Frenck and me
Today's the day! At 2:10 PM I'm on the Ship & Tell stage at #GitHubUniverse: "Code is the easy part: Building Home Assistant in the open".
For 15 minutes, the room gets to be the Home Assistant team and vote on real decisions we made.
At Universe? Come say hi!
Got a surprise from the @github Universe Creator Team. A 65% mechanical keyboard kit.
No idea what's in that black box yet. #GitHubUniverse

Walked into GitHub HQ and the big wall shows today's top trending Python developers.
Number one: @basnijholt with Adaptive Lighting, a custom integration for @home_assistant.
Our community, up on the wall at @github. Made my day 🥰

We sold out in-person tickets this year, but hoping you can still show me what you got.
I’ve got a few extra customizable GitHub keyboards that we’ll ship to three people who can build a wild custom canvas that makes their workday better in the GitHub Copilot app. May the odds be ever in your favor. 😄
