Microsoft is moving GitHub into its CoreAI team, following the resignation of GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke today. After nearly four years as CEO, Dohmke is leaving GitHub to “become a startup founder again,” and pursue opportunities outside of Microsoft and GitHub.

GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke will leave as Microsoft moves the platform into its CoreAI division. GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke just shared that he will step down from his role. The popular development platform will have more than a new CEO soon; it will be part of a new organization at Microsoft.

"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."
