You do realize Microsoft owns GitHub, don't you ?
are you kidding, GitHub belongs to Microsoft, they would be giving themselves money
Especially considering M$ owns GitHub
GitHub is Microsoft now.Not going to lie, simply keeping my code away from MS is a good enough use case.
No wonder why microsoft bought them, they wanted to kill github
This may be a reaction to Microsoft's GitHub acquisition. They need a stronger competition.
They don't hate GitHub even though it's owened by MS.
I would be surprised if Github implements this. Especially with the Microsoft purchase. Microsoft is known for building walled gardens, not knocking them down. Why would they expend effort to make life easier for competitors?
Don't forget that Github is Microsoft.
Microsoft already owns GitHub. This is probably near the bottom of things to be concerned about.
