Take a break from your build and create an Octocat that’s all you, from whisker tip to tail.

Love Mona as much as we do? Share your pic with us. 👇

Worn like a badge of honor, Mona can be found stuck onto laptops, displayed proudly as a figurine on a workspace, and even tattooed on a few of her biggest fans around the globe. She’s our GitHub mascot and developer avatar. Happy 15th to you, Mona.

Did you know that you can even build your own Octocat?

Build your own octocat

Mona is not the only Octocat, in fact, 100s of Octocats have been created in the last 15 years, along with their very own planet.

Why is Mona called Mona? Good question, here's her origin story, dreamt up by the 7 year old daughter of a GitHub developer.

Text says, Once upon a time, there was a cat who’s name was Monalisa. Monalisa and her owner went to the beach. When Monalisa got to the beach, her owner Kelly gave her goggles so Monalisa could swim and see what was in the ocean. When Monalisa went in the water she found lots of fish. When Monalisa was swimming she was so exited she opened her mouth and swouloed a coral that made you grow legs like a octapus but keep your normal face. So Monalisa grew legs and became Mrs. Monalisa octocat. [sic]

We (and Mona the Octocat) turned 15 this week. Mona originally started life as a stock image bought for our 404 page. Back then we never imagined she’d grow into the international developer superstar she is today. Take a look back at 15 years of Mona with us.
