Rumors that Microsoft is about to buy Github have started to grow in recent days, so Bloomberg shared that Microsoft is making the purchase. The official announcement is expected to be made early in the morning on Monday, according to US time.
Github is a platform where developers store their projects, their related files and codes. The use and popularity of Github was increasing day by day. Companies using Github include Apple, Amazon, Google and many other technology companies. Microsoft is the most active technology giant using Github. Directing more than 1000 employees to use Github, GitHub has its own native Windows File Manager source code.
Let's come to the appraisal. Github's appraisal was shared as $ 2 billion in 2015, but there is no information on how much Microsoft is paying. It is thought that a statement about this figure will be made during the day.
How will developers who are so cautious about areas where Microsoft is involved will react after the day's expected announcement? Already Github's rival Gitlab's transition campaigns have already begun on Twitter.
Gitlab is also trying to profit from this crisis by publishing the following video and sharing it with social media.
