Wow, I was not aware of this. That's a pretty big reason why I make my stuff open-source, so others can look through it and learn from it. I know, everyone who stayed on GitHub is officially Microsoft's bitch now, but I still can't fathom why this didn't make bigger waves...

Probably because like you I wasn't aware of what Microsoft was up to. Let's just hope embrace extend extinguish doesn't end up with a GitHub version of git.

They do already have GitHub Desktop, for Windows and macOS...

In fairness though that's just a UI for git in the same vein as things like GitKraken or GitCola atm if I'm not mistaken

That is my understanding of it, too, yeah. In principle, I'm also okay with them providing something like this. I'm just worried that they'll eventually start adding stuff into it, which impacts Git.
