Kuninzi okutshintshe iMicrosoft kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo, okoko uSatya Nadella wayithatha le nkampaniEmva kokumka komntu owayehlala enempikiswano uSteve Ballmer, owathi isoftware yasimahla, kubandakanya neLinux, yayifana nomhlaza, nangona kwiminyaka elishumi kamva watshintsha ingqondo ukuqinisekisa ukuba yimbangi yokujonga iWindows.
Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, iMicrosoft ibheje kakhulu kuMthombo ovulekileyo kwaye obona bungqina bufunyenwe kutshanje kwiGitHub, iqonga apho abaphuhlisi banokuthi bamba yonke indawo yokugcina ikhowudi, ikhowudi, amaxwebhu okanye iiprojekthi ukwabelana nabo noluntu. Okwangoku, oku kuthengwa kuye kwafunyanwa ngolindelo ngabaphuhlisi.
Nangona ixabiso langoku lenkampani belimalunga neebhiliyoni ezi-2.000 zeedola, abafana baseRedmond bahlawule ngaphezulu kweebhiliyoni ezi-5.000, i-7.500 yezigidigidi zeedola. NgokukaSatya Nadella, u-CEO weMicrosoft, bafuna ukukhawulezisa ukusetyenziswa kweGitHub phakathi kwabaphuhlisi beshishini ngokusebenzisa iindlela zabo zokuthengisa ngokuthe ngqo ukongeza ekunikezeleni ukufikelela kwiziseko zophuhliso zeMicrosoft kunye neenkonzo zefu (Azure). Nawuphi na umphuhlisi unako layisha ikhowudi yakho kwiqonga simahla ukuba ufuna ukwabelana ngayo noluntu lonke.
Ungayilayisha kwakhona kwi yabelana ngenani eliqingqiweyo labantu, ukusebenzisa esinye sezicwangciso zokuhlawula ezinikezelwa yinkampani. IGitHub isetyenziswa yiApple, uGoogle kunye neAmazon phakathi kwabanye, besebenzisa eli qonga ukusingatha kunye nokuphuhlisa ezinye zeeprojekthi zabo.
Emva koko, Umsunguli weXamarin uNat Friedman uzakuthatha iGitHub, inkampani eyayingenaye i-CEO yonyaka emva kokuba umsunguli wenkampani eshiye isikhundla sakhe. Namhlanje, sinokufumana i-85 yezigidi zokugcina ezigcinwe kubonga kubaphuhlisi abazizigidi ezingama-28 abasebenzisa eli qonga. Izidubedube eluntwini emva kokubhengezwa koku kuthengwa kubangele ukuba abanye babaphuhlisi abangazinzanga bakhethe ukufudukela kuzo zonke iiprojekthi zabo ukuya kwiGitLab, enye indlela eya eGitHub.
