"GitHub and its leadership team will continue its mission as part of Microsoft’s CoreAI organization, with more details shared soon," Dohmke wrote. "I’ll be staying through the end of 2025 to help guide the transition and am leaving with a deep sense of pride in everything we’ve built as a remote-first organization spread around the world."

GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke announced Tuesday that he plans to step down later this year, and Microsoft does not intend to search for a replacement. Dohmke is leaving the Microsoft-owned platform to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors.
