Eminyakeni yamuva nje, iMicrosoft ibheje kakhulu kuMthombo Ovulekile futhi ubufakazi bakamuva buyatholakala ku-GitHub, ipulatifomu lapho onjiniyela bangakwazi khona bamba wonke amakhosombe akho, ikhodi, imibhalo noma amaphrojekthi ukuwabelana nomphakathi. Okwamanje, lokhu kuthenga kutholwe ngokulindelwe ngonjiniyela.
Yize ukulinganisa kwamanje kwenkampani kwakucishe kube yizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili zamadola, abafana baseRedmond bakhokhe ama-2.000 billion ngaphezulu, ama-5.000 billion dollars ngqo. Ngokusho kukaSatya Nadella, oyi-CEO yakwaMicrosoft, bafuna ukusheshisa ukusetshenziswa kweGitHub phakathi kwabathuthukisi bamabhizinisi ngokusebenzisa iziteshi zabo zokuthengisa eziqondile ngaphezu kokunikeza ukufinyelela kwingqalasizinda yeMicrosoft kanye nezinsizakalo zefu (Azure). Noma yimuphi umakhi angakwazi layisha ikhodi yakho endaweni yesikhulumi mahhala ngokuphelele uma ufuna ukuwabelana ngawo nawo wonke umphakathi.
Ungayilayisha futhi ku- yabelana ngayo ngenani labantu elinganiselwe, ukusebenzisa olunye lwezinhlelo zokukhokha ezinikezwa yinkampani. IGitHub isetshenziswa yi-Apple, iGoogle neAmazon phakathi kwabanye, isebenzisa leplatifomu ukusingatha nokuthuthukisa amanye amaphrojekthi abo.
Ngemuva kwalokhu, Umsunguli weXamarin uNat Friedman uzothatha iGitHub, inkampani eyayingenayo i-CEO ngonyaka ngemuva kokuba umsunguli wenkampani eshiye isikhundla sakhe. Namuhla, singathola amakhosombe ayizigidi ezingama-85 abanjwe ngenxa yabathuthukisi abayizigidi ezingama-28 abasebenzisa le nkundla ngokuzimisela. Izinxushunxushu emphakathini ngemuva kokumenyezelwa kwalokhu kuthengwa zidale ukuthi abanye babathuthukisi abangakhululeki bakhethe ukuthuthela wonke amaphrojekthi abo kwi-GitLab, enye indlela eya eGitHub.
