GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke introduced on Monday that he’s stepping down from his position. Dohmke will stay on the Microsoft-owned firm till the top of the yr, after which he’ll depart to grow to be “a founder once more,” he wrote in a weblog publish.
Axios reviews that Microsoft is not going to instantly exchange the place, and that GitHub management will now report back to a number of Microsoft executives.
“With greater than 1B repos and forks, and over 150 million builders, GitHub has by no means been stronger than it’s immediately,” Dohmke wrote. “Now we have seen extra open-source tasks with extra contributions yearly. AI tasks have doubled within the final yr alone. And our presence in corporations of any measurement is unmatched out there.”
The transfer comes as GitHub is dealing with rising competitors from corporations like Google and Cursor over AI instruments for programmers.
