Microsoft And Github Acquired.

Microsoft the world's leading software developer, is acquiring GitHab, a popular website to store computer coding. On the last 4th day on Monday, the formal agreement regarding the acquisition was completed. For the past few years, Microsoft was discussing the purchase of GitHab.
But it was not enough for many reasons.
According to IT experts, it is the second largest acquisition of Satyam Nadal, CEO of Microsoft. About two years ago, Microsoft acquired LinkedIn for approximately $ 2,220 million.

According to the 2015 statement, the funding round of Gittah was worth $ 200 million dollars. But the acquisition was not complete. But Microsoft has not yet been able to acquire GitHab at the exact price of the dollar.
A person associated with this process said that in the amount of money Microsoft wanted to acquire, GitHab was even more valuable than that.

GitHab Tools are very useful for software developers. Developers use this site to save code, update and discuss issues. There are thousands of programmers in the world. Through this organization, there are more than 30 million unique users of 1.5 million companies. In addition to the general users, GitHab is a list of regular users, including Apple, Amazon, Google, and all the world renowned technology companies.
