In June of last year, one of the biggest version control services, Github, was acquired by Microsoft. What repercussions does this entail, and how is the future of such services? What can we extrapolate from such a decision? To truly understand the questions in the matter, we need to focus on what we are storing. Data is vital to every aspect of development, ranging from how we manipulate it, store it, and who we entrust our precious information with. Who has access to it, what law protects it from unintended use and what projects may branch out of it. Information has become so critical that to keep it safe, we have developed mechanisms to keep tight control on how we collaborate and store it.
