GitHub

GitHub provides code hosting services that allow developers/people to build software for open source and private projects in organisations. It designs and develops an online platform to allows users to store and share code repositories with friends, co-workers, classmates, and complete strangers.

GitHub has a strategic partnership with International Business Machines Corporation.

It is commonly used to host open-source software development projects. As of January 2023, GitHub reported having over 100 million developers and more than 372 million repositories, including at least 28 million public repositories.[11] It is the world's largest source code host as of June 2023.

From 2012, Microsoft became a significant user of GitHub, using it to host open-source projects and development tools such as .NET Core, Chakra Core, MSBuild, PowerShell, PowerToys, Visual Studio Code, Windows Calculator, Windows Terminal and the bulk of its product documentation (now to be found on Microsoft Docs).

On June 4, 2018, Microsoft announced its intent to acquire GitHub for US$7.5 billion (~$8.05 billion in 2021). The deal closed on October 26, 2018.
