I mean, I really don't think "Microsoft's Github" does anything to explain what Github is to the laymen.

It gives them the context that this is a decision from a big tech company, not just some startup they haven't heard of.

And the laymen doesn't care and it is not relevant to the story what a "github" is.

It is something by Microsoft that apparently is important for apps. Nothing more you need to know.

As a newspaper editor you have to be aware that each story will be read by both specialists and non-specialists. This headline attempts to convey information to both.
