Comparing Microsoft’s DevOps Tools

Azure DevOps vs GitHub

Context

Once upon a time, there was a Microsoft product called Team Foundation Server (TFS). The online version of TFS then became Visual Studio Online, which became Visual Studio Team Services, which is now Azure DevOps.

Microsoft bought Github in 2018, which is also a DevOps tool and shares a lot of the same features.
