I'm curious here: what got better in GitHub since the acquisition?
It's a genuine question, I'm not being sarcastic, I really don't understand the statement (which seems to be shared by several people here). I honestly can't point out a single thing that was delivered that changed the game for like, 6 years from now if not more (copilot is a nice gadget IMHO but it's not really game changer, is it?).
I was actually hoping that MS support would change that, but I don't see it happening.
Off the top of my head: Tree view in PRs, the new projects board, code search, Mermaid and maths in markdown, the cmd+k action bar thing, Copilot, the best VS Code themes, lots of small changes like Readme TOC, and so on.
Maybe these changes are incremental, maybe you don’t cherish them as much as I do ,and some were very much over due. Regardless, I like them and am impressed by Github’s recent work.
There's a Github plugin. I am specifically referring to that. I use it to do code reviews. Being able to see the changes in-line in my editor helps give me a bit of context to the changes because it's easier to see the surrounding code, click into functions being used, etc.
Github actions. Word on the street is that all DevOps personell moved to the GH actions team (which to me dosnt really sound reasonable btw) to bring it up to DevOps parity. Autopilot, those web based dev stations, mermaid integration ...
