IIRC they've said they intend to keep VSTS and github as separate products.

  they intend to keep VSTS and github as separate product Still, consider Codeplex, which isn’t around anymore. I see the two merging over time, say in 5 years, and I expect the migration to be fairly painless, so I am not too worried personally, but I can see how some people might be.

    Isn’t the existence of Github the reason Codeplex is no more? Github was so good alternative that it made no sense for Google and Microsoft maintain their own services geared towards open source projects. Building a viable Github competitor would not have fitted to Microsoft strategy which was back then focused on Windows.

    Unlikely, they're targeting different markets. There is a place for both of them in Microsoft's portfolio.

      MS-GitHub Enterprise would seem to address a lot of where TFS otherwise lands. Once TFS incorporates GitHub workflows and infrastructure I think anything off of that core is gonna struggle mightily. I mean... as it stands TFS struggles with mindshare, features, and engagement. While the name and marketing will persist, I think the underlying technical reality will be the continued cannibalisation of that offering by the superior model of git and its cross-language appeal.
