Microsoft Set to Purchase World’s Largest Source Code Platform — GitHub!

Deal could be announced on Monday!

Recent report from Bloomberg is claiming that the software giant ‘Microsoft’ has agreed to purchase GitHub, and the deal could be announced on Monday.

GitHub, last valued at $2 Billion in 2015, is a vast code repository that became popular with companies and individual developers hosting their documentation, code, and projects.


After GitHub founder Chris Wanstrath announced his intentions to step down, GitHub had been looking for new CEO since last 9 months. Later, the coding startup was impressed by the active approach from Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s current CEO, since he took role in 2014.

Microsoft Loves Open-Source Now…

Microsoft has been investing rapidly in Open-Source Technologies ever since Satya Nadella became CEO. In fact, Microsoft has already open-sourced Visual Studio Code, Microsoft Edge JavaScript Engine, and PowerShell. Furthermore, Microsoft has also acquired Xamarin to assist cross-platform mobile app development.

Microsoft’s deal with GitHub will likely mean we will soon start to see even closer integration between Microsoft’s developer tools and GitHub. Although, a Twitter Poll from Bryan Lunduke showed that 68% of existing GitHub users would move to another service if the acquisition is confirmed. 

How this news will pan out is yet to be known, but if Microsoft does indeed acquires GitHub, then developers won’t have to wait too long to know exact plans of Microsoft with GitHub.
