There will probably be a decent amount of skepticism around this acquisition (with fair reason), but I'd like to think of this as an opportunity for Microsoft to demonstrate their respect and commitment to the developer community. I say this as someone who has been pleasantly surprised at how helpful BizSpark has been. Staying cautiously optimistic.
If this is true, I delete my account immediately. The last thing I want is my code to fall into the hands of MS.
Some things you can just never forgive.
Personally, I can't wait for GitHub360 Professional for Sharepoint 360.
I guess it's time to move to Gitlab.
MS has had an 180 degree turn in policy since Balmer left. Lately they released amazing open-source projects with VSCode being the most prominent one.
Meanwhile, all their non-developer-focused products are still Windows-only and closed-source.
Tangentially related, but maybe microsoft could actually do that : why is github's search so terribly bad ? If they had developed a good powerful code search (custom semantic engine for most used languages, complex queries, exact/fuzzy matches for syntax, use of history, etc) they could have become the primary way you interact with code you don't know yet. As it stands now it's simply more efficient to clone and use…

Oh god, I hope not. Anytime a big company acquires almost anything, the quality level drops off a cliff. Microsoft with Skype is the obvious example, but so is anything bought by Google (like YouTube). Add to this the bad experience we had with Sourceforge, and I definitely worry it could be all over for GitHub if this is true.
