Microsoft has reportedly acquired GitHub

Bloomberg reports that the software giant has agreed to acquire GitHub, and that the company chose Microsoft partly because of CEO Satya Nadella

Microsoft has been talking about buying GitHub, a startup at the center of the software world last valued at $2 billion

One person with knowledge of the matter told Business Insider that Sridhar Ramaswamy, Google's senior vice president of ads and commerce, was in discussions with GitHub about the CEO job. But those appear to have ended

There is also an internal rumor at GitHub that a Microsoft executive could be in the running for the CEO job, with or without an acquisition by the software giant. The person rumored to be in the running is Nat Friedman, a well-known leader in the programmer world.
