What does the GitHub emoji mean?

The iconic Octocat mascot ready to push your code to production.

This is the official GitHub Octocat logo, a hybrid of a cat and an octopus that serves as the mascot for the world's largest code hosting platform. In Discord and Slack communities, it is frequently used by developers to signal code commits, link to repositories, or jokingly blame the software for bugs.

When to use it

  • Sharing a link to a new code repository
  • Notifying the team about a recent code commit
  • Jokingly blaming the software for a system bug
  • Celebrating a successful deployment to the server
