Microsoft\u2019s <\/a> $7.5 billion acquisition of GitHub <\/a> closed<\/a> last October. Today, at its annual Build developer conference, Microsoft announced<\/a> a number of new integrations between its existing services and GitHub<\/a>. None of these are earth-shattering or change the nature of any of GitHub\u2019s fundamental features, but they do show how Microsoft is starting to bring GitHub closer into the fold.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that Microsoft isn\u2019t announcing any major GitHub features at Build, though it was only a few weeks ago that the company made a major change by giving<\/a> GitHub Free users access to unlimited private repositories. For major feature releases, GitHub has its own conference<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So what are the new integrations? Most of them center around identity management. That means GitHub Enterprise users can now use Azure Active Directory to access GitHub. Developers will also be able to use their existing GitHub accounts to log into Azure features like the Azure Portal and Azure DevOps. \u201cThis update enables GitHub developers to go from repository to deployment with just their GitHub account,\u201d Microsoft argues in its release announcement.<\/p>\n

As far as selling GitHub goes, Microsoft also today announced a new Visual Studio <\/a> subscription with access to GitHub Enterprise for Microsoft\u2019s Enterprise Agreement customers. Given that there is surely a lot of overlap between Visual Studio\u2019s enterprise customers and GitHub Enterprise users, this move makes sense. Chances are, it\u2019ll also make moving to GitHub Enterprise more enticing for current Visual Studio subscribers.<\/p>\n

Lastly, the Azure Boards<\/a> app, which offers features like Kanban boards and sprint planning tools, is now also available in the GitHub Marketplace.<\/p>\n
