After the EU approved Microsoft’s acquisition of GitHub last week, Nat Friedman, CEO of GitHub announced Yday (26 Oct) that the company is now officially owned by Microsoft.
The Redmond giant spent $7.5 billion in stock to acquire the web-based hosting service earlier this year, but just like LinkedIn, GitHub will continue to operate independently as a company.
Back in June, the initial acquisition announcement was met with some hostility from developers, but that apparently didn’t impact GitHub’s business. As spotted by Geekwire, GitHub actually gained 3 million developers since June, and has now crossed 31 million users overall.
As per Dog Food strategy, Microsoft has 30 open source repositories in GitHub with Top products like Visual Studio Code, .NET Core framework, TypeScript, etc. Ref: https://github.com/Microsoft
