Microsoft has set up an account on Github , where it will publish the source code for some of its programs.
Little has been published so far: TypeScript web application development tool that extends JavaScript, and sample TypeScript programs . But let's hope this is just the beginning.
The description of the company on Github looks like an apology for past mistakes: "Microsoft has changed as a company and is becoming more open in the way we work with others."
As you know, Microsoft has traditionally been considered the main "opponent" of free software and, in particular, Linux. In recent years, however, the situation has been changing for the better. In 2010, a single resource Microsoft Open Sourcewhere they published the source code for Microsoft programs. And now the company has completely opened an account on Github.
Probably, work within the framework of Github will attract more interest in free software from Microsoft. This is almost an established standard for collaborative development.
