This topic is one of the primary reasons I enjoy working at MS these days.

The tech stack is full of OSS or industry standard tools, not a bunch of internal NIH things.

My current stack is: React, Node, Kubernetes, Linux (for dev and deploy), Git for sc, GitHub, vs code.

I can’t even think of some internal tool that I depend on at the moment.

That depends entirely on what part of MS you are in right? There is cosmos (internal, not exactly the same as external cosmos), autopilot for infra, mdm for metrics, mds for logs, icm for alerts, etc.

Yeh, you’re right. I was thinking more of this and remember all the alerting and incident management stuff. Then I realized that I hate those tools and would happily leave them behind :)

Github is open source?

Like it or, GitHub is ubiquitous enough that noone really cares. If you do care, there's plenty of OSS alternatives that aren't much different in their UI than GitHub itself.

You can easily put GitHub on your resume, and everyone would know what you're talking about. Of course, by itself, it's not much of an experience, but, surprisingly, it is often listed as a requirement and/or nice-to-have for certain SWE job posts.
