Microsoft Officially Announces GitHub Acquisition for $7.5 Billion

Microsoft has officially announced the acquisition of GitHub for $7.5 billion in stock. The acquisition is expected to close by the end of the calendar year.

GitHub is a popular code repository used by over 28 million developers. Microsoft promises that it will retain its developer-first ethos and operate independently.

Developers will continue to be able to use the programming languages, tools and operating systems of their choice for their projects — and will still be able to deploy their code to any operating system, any cloud and any device.
