Yes there is always some locking but how much you want to lock is your risk you need to take 
You can consider
Interviewer says… “You don’t buy GH to make a lot of money, so what is your strategic benefit? How closely do you have to tie it in to things like Azure and where do you keep it at arms length in order to try and maintain that open-source neutral rapport with the community?”
His response? Essentially that “developer sass is going to be at the centre of the digital economy” (strategic value) and that he hopes people will judge Microsoft on its recent actions and actions going forward.
Interviewer asks about integration with MS stuff like Azure, and this is where he looked notably awkward and gives a typical response (that it’s not just about MS it’s about all). He also dodges a question about monetising user data (like FB does) which I think may set the alarm bells ringing for some.
But you’ll have to watch it for yourself as I wasn’t giving it my full attention 
Microsoft is buying GH in return of something. That’s a fact.
They are going to reveal the real story in the long run…
Not too happy about it either!
One day you will be asked to create a hotmail /outlook ID and password to login into github. You will do it and then you wont be able to access your existing repositories anymore. They did this to all windows10 users months ago. It is better to take a backup of your repositories now.
haha I prefer hotmail than facebook
hmm I was login always to microsoft account using gmail.
So did I, never have any problems, and I remember few weeks ago I just installed windows with local account without any problem.
Unsurprisingly those …ahem… Very nice people are talking about my version control use case for ibGib:
Some of the Go developers in the golang-nuts group are discussing the possibility of leveraging a project called Interplanetary File System (IPFS), perhaps coupled with a blockchain element, to devise a kind of peer-to-peer language repository system. Written in Go itself, according to its creator Juan Benet, IPFS “seeks to connect all computing devices with the same system of files.
Sigh. 
yes IPFS is very interesting project.
Turkey wanted to ban wikipedia, IPFS for rescue
I really love the idea of IPFS but it’s anything but fast. It’s mega-slow still. Their main problem is the lack of automatic replication. Stuff gets distributed only if a machine explicitly asks for the content hash. And that’s not “distribution” nor “replication” – you simply downloaded a file because you wanted it.
Projects like FreeNet promise automatic replication – something that IPFS sorely needs. Last I tried it though, FreeNet was pretty weak and unoptimized. I have a gigabit link and allowed them unlimited bandwidth yet they still couldn’t even saturate 2MB/s (out of possible 120MB/s).
I remember the IPFS maintainers said (in GitHub issue comments) that they are concerned with DMCA takedown requests so if you are looking for censorship-resistant network, IPFS is definitely not it. They seem ready to jump on command.
Sorry for off-topic.
I’m personally leaning towards this being a positive thing. GitHub as a company has to me seemed like they focused the majority of their resources and energy on some kind of poisonous internal culture and their product hasn’t evolved for a long time. Maybe Microsoft can end that nonsense and enable the company to actually push their product forward with more and better integration.
Let’s also not pretend that GitHub was some kind of beacon of open source. Their product is completely closed off and I would argue that Microsoft (somewhat ironically) has done much more for open source as a whole even with a late start.
