To review codes, Microsoft-owned GitHub has acquired a US-based startup called Pull Panda that makes collaboration tools for software teams at an undisclosed amount.
Following the acquisition, Pull Panda's products - Pull Reminders, Pull Analytics and Pull Assigner - would now be available for free as part of GitHub Marketplace application.
