I understand your point, and yes the active users for a particular period is going to be a lot less than the total number.<p>However, my goal here was to know about the total number of accounts existing on Github. I guess that the title could be changed to &quot;How many accounts does the Github have right now?&quot;, that would do the justice.<p>Btw, I didn&#x27;t know about BigQuery. It is pretty amazing and free. Thank you for sharing.
