It’s official: GitHub is now part of Microsoft!

After announcing the acquisition of GitHub earlier this year in June, Microsoft completed the acquisition Friday. Nat Friedman, the former CEO of Xamarin, is appointed as the CEO of GitHub.

In a blog post, Nat shared assured that GitHub’s current spirit will not be lost and also  his vision for the future of GitHub:

“Three objectives will be top of mind for us as we build the future of GitHub:

  • Ensuring GitHub is the best place to run productive communities and teams
  • Making GitHub accessible to more developers around the world
  • Reliability, security, and performance

We will start by focusing on the daily experience of using GitHub and will double down on our paper cuts project. We will improve core scenarios like search, notifications, issues/projects, and our mobile experience. And of course we are excited to make GitHub Actions broadly available.”
