Github and Microsoft's Next Steps
In fact, Github, founded in February 2008, should have a mobile application for a long time.
In June 2018, Microsoft bought GitHub for $7.5 billion , although the company does not have enough revenue as a detailed item of profit report. However, GitHub is still a huge platform with more than 40 million developer users worldwide! At the moment when telecommuting is heating up, the release of this mobile app can be said to be just in time: more developers than ever need to leave their offices and computers to work at home.
Since the beta release, the company has made great progress. According to the foreign media VentureBeat, Ryan Nystrom, the engineering director of GitHub, said that his team had fixed more than 200 bugs, handled more than 400000 notifications, and merged more than 20000 code changes. "Thanks to nearly 35000 comments provided by 60000 testers, all this has been achieved." Nystrom said that since the release of the beta version, their focus of research has been to be able to read and review code - which can greatly expand the way applications authorize users, allowing developers to share feedback and view code lines with just one click. The facts proved that the efforts were not in vain.
As for what to do next, Nystrom said that "in the coming months", this application will have a "very detailed function roadmap".
As the "boss" behind it, Microsoft has also taken frequent actions recently. After acquiring GitHub and taking over the entire open source ecosystem, recently NPM also took over the entire JavaScript ecosystem. It can be said that active open source and firm layout make Microsoft's position in the minds of developers more and more significant.
