Microsoft Is Said to Have Agreed to Acquire Coding Site GitHub

Microsoft Corp. has agreed to acquire GitHub Inc., the code repository
company popular with many software developers, and could announce the deal as
soon as Monday, according to people familiar with the matter.

GitHub preferred selling the company to going public and chose Microsoft
partially because it was impressed by Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella,
said one of the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private
information. Terms of the agreement weren’t known on Sunday. GitHub was last
valued at $2 billion in 2015.

The acquisition provides a way forward for San Francisco-based GitHub, which
has been trying for nine months to find a new CEO and has yet to make a
profit from its popular service that allows coders to share and collaborate
on their work. It also helps Microsoft, which is increasingly relying on
open-source software, to add programming tools and tie up with a company that
has become a key part of the way Microsoft writes its own software.

Frank Shaw, a spokesman for Microsoft, declined to comment. GitHub didn’t
return an email seeking request for comment.

GitHub is an essential tool for coders. Many corporations, including
Microsoft and Alphabet Inc.’s Google, use GitHub to store their corporate
code and to collaborate. It’s also a social network of sorts for developers.
While GitHub’s losses have been significant -- it lost $66 million over
three quarters in 2016 -- it had revenue of $98 million in nine months of
that year.

In August, GitHub announced that it was looking for a CEO to replace Chris
Wanstrath, one of the company’s co-founders. In the interim, GitHub’s Chief
Business Officer Julio Avalos joined the company’s board of directors and
took over much of the day-to-day leadership of the company.

Microsoft has talked to GitHub on and off for a few years. Recently they
began talks about a partnership but progressed to discussing an acquisition,
according to another person familiar with the situation.


GitHub hosts 27 million software developers working on 80 million
repositories of code. Microsoft, once opposed to that kind of open-source
software development, is now one if the biggest contributors to GitHub. As
Nadella increasingly moves the company away from complete dependence on the
Windows operating system to more in-house development on Linux, the company
needs new ways to connect with the broader developer community.

Business Insider first reported talks between the companies on Friday.

代碼存放平台和開源軟體社群 GitHub 向來是不少程式開發者常去的地方,最近有消息指
 Microsoft 正在準備收購這個網站,而且談判已經進行了一段時間。

據 Business Insider 的消息透露,GitHub 與 Microsoft 原先在商討成立策略聯盟,最
近談判傾向全資收購,不過暫時未知到底談判的進度如何。其實之前一直有傳聞指
 Microsoft 打算收購 GitHub,不過由於 GitHub 本身正打算上市集資,而其估價並不低
(2015 年估價約 20 億美元,現時估價大約 50 億美元),令 Microsoft 卻步。

有趣的是,GitHub 的總裁 Chris Wanstrath 在去年秋天離職後,一直未有新人選,有人
懷疑這可能是要準備讓其他人全資收購,免卻新總裁上任不久又要面臨被收購的情況。消
息傳出後,Microsoft 的估價有所上升。如果收購成功,Microsoft 就可以掌握大量的開
源軟體資源以及龐大的開發者社群,對於推廣旗下產品十分有利。
