Microsoft adopt git as their main source control, even in internal projects.

Makes sense they try to control the future of the tool they use in so meny projects.

Github don't control git --

> Torvalds turned over maintenance on 26 July 2005 to Junio Hamano, a major contributor to the project.[25] Hamano was responsible for the 1.0 release on 21 December 2005, and remains the project's maintainer.[26]

I'm guessing Torvalds still has a lot of control if push came to shove, so we can assume git is executively controlled by Torvalds and Hamano.

    Not many people use git without Github though, whether it's Github proper or a local installation of Github Enterprise. It's pretty tough to do code reviews without it. There are tools out there to do it, but Github is the standard.

    Github does own a vast share of the git-related developer mindshare tho, which is probably more valuable to Microsoft.
