GitHub Sponsors is a service run by GitHub for sponsoring open-source developers. When a developer or organization sets up sponsorship tiers, other users can sponsor them with monthly or one-time amounts; payment is processed through the GitHub account, and sponsorship status is shown on profiles and repositories. It plays a role similar to Patreon and Open Collective, but differs in being directly tied to code repositories.
