00:00They built a home for code, then Microsoft bought it.
00:04Before GitHub, coding with other people could get messy fast.
00:08Developers were sending files back and forth, tracking changes, breaking things, fixing things, and trying to keep everyone on the
00:15same version.
00:16A few developers saw the problem clearly.
00:19What if code collaboration felt more like a social network?
00:22A place where programmers could upload projects, track changes, contribute to open source software, and build in public.
00:29That idea became GitHub.
00:31At first, it was not flashy.
00:33No dancing app, no viral consumer product, just a clean place for developers to work together.
00:39But developers loved it because it solved a real pain.
00:43Open source projects moved there.
00:45Startups moved there.
00:47Big companies moved there.
00:48Slowly, GitHub became the default home for software collaboration.
00:53Then, in 2018, Microsoft acquired GitHub for $7.5 billion.
00:58The wild part is, most regular people never use GitHub directly, but the software they use every day was probably
01:05touched by it.
01:06Sometimes, the most powerful companies are not the ones everyone sees.
01:10They're the ones builders can't live without.
