I am pleased to share the fact that the acquisition of Microsoft GitHub is complete. Monday October 29th is my first day as CEO. Millions of people rely on GitHub every day, and I am proud to be able to lead this company.
When we announced the purchase in June, I shared two principles for GitHub, which should be fixed in understanding:
Ultimately, my goal is to make GitHub better for you.
I spent the past few months meeting hundreds of developers. The passion for GitHub is amazing - both in areas where we succeed and in areas where you want us to do more. I learned a lot from this interaction with the developers. Communicating with our users will be a major part of GitHub work.
Three goals will be our main goal:
To begin with, we’ll focus on improving the daily use practices of GitHub, as well as expanding our paper cuts project together . We will improve basic tasks such as searching, notifications, issues / projects and the platform on mobile devices. And, of course, GitHub Actions. We really want to make them widespread.
We believe in the power of the community. As the world's largest developer community, GitHub brings together more than 31 million developers who can create, work, share and unite.

When we announced the purchase in June, I shared two principles for GitHub, which should be fixed in understanding:
- GitHub will work in three independent paradigms: as a community, platform and business. This means that GitHub will retain its value to developers, the characteristic community spirit and openness. We will always support developers in choosing any language, license, tool, platform or cloud.
- GitHub will keep its philosophy. We love GitHub for taking care of developers. I understand and respect this, and I know for sure that we will continue to create beautiful, fast, reliable tools that developers love.
