Maybe you're talking about something different, but this happened, didn't it? ADO supports Git alongside TFS (not Sourcesafe, but Sourcesafe has been dead forever and was pretty much dead when GitHub first started). It's very much store-brand GitHub repos, much of it is the same but there's tons of features missing and the code review tools aren't as good.
As far as I know (per publicly released blogs/docs/talks), the Windows monorepo lives inside ADO, not GitHub.
- DiabloD3 3y agoAFAIK, ADO came about because of the "clone GH" proposal having died, but somebody wanting to revive it. Microsoft is a big company, there's a lot of moving parts and a lot of recycled ideas. Also, AFAIK, the Microsoft monorepo in git did not originally live in ADO. I'm not sure if it does now, either, although it'd make sense for it to as the ADO dogfooder.
