GitHub Reviews & Product Details

I love GitHub for its powerful platform that makes managing code and collaboration with developers efficient. Its version control and teamwork features are seamless, making it easy to manage code, track changes, and collaborate effectively. The use of branches and pull requests allows multiple developers to work on the same project without conflicts, making it simple to review code, suggest improvements, and merge changes safely. I also appreciate the integration with tools like VS Code, Docker, and AWS, which streamlines coding, testing, and deployment workflows. Switching to GitHub from another platform has improved our overall development workflow and made team coordination much smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub can sometimes feel complex for beginners, especially when learning Git commands and workflows. The interface for managing issues and projects can also feel overwhelming at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is free to use, it has a history so I rely on it (things are not changing over night). You can have a public or a private repo for your project. You can easily run workflows free (so if one considers a VPS this is a better option for smaller scripts). Git is simple and easy to learn - you have commit history. There is an option to report issues and send pull requests. UI is simple and easy to learn. I never needed to cotact their support as everything works well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was quite new to me (and a bit frustrating) that you cannot add a folder and see it in the structure (but this is how it works). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like GitHub for its amazing features that make teamwork very efficient. The version control system helps me to track all my previous changes I have done, manage code history, and helps me to experiment without risk and worry. I appreciate the clean interface and integrations that make development, reviewing, and deploying projects easier, also the community support for GitHub is very huge to help us when stuck, so I use GitHub everyday to complete all my tasks and track my code changes, It easily integrates with my IntelliJ and I could easily push (implement) my changes into GitHub directly from the IDE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to dislike about Github, But I sometimes find GitHub a bit overwhelming, especially when working with large repositories.

I feel GitHub can be slightly expensive for some advanced features and AI features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub offers me a very reliable and easy-to-use environment, which makes its implementation quick even in a new project or team. I have been using it daily for several years in both personal and professional projects, particularly with Angular and .NET stacks. I particularly appreciate the branch management, the Pull Request workflow, and the code review system that allows for clear and structured exchanges between developers. GitHub Actions is also a big advantage, as it allows me to easily automate CI/CD pipelines directly on the platform. Finally, the documentation and community are very rich, which makes problem-solving easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though GitHub is very comprehensive, I think the free offering could be improved, particularly by increasing the available space for GitHub Pages or by offering more free deployment options for developers. Customer support is not always necessary thanks to the documentation, but when it is needed, it could be faster in certain specific cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub has a clean and functional UI, strong integrations with tools like Jira and Slack, and reliable performance even with large repositories. Pricing is reasonable, though enterprise features can be costly. Support and onboarding are solid, with plenty of documentation and community resources. AI-powered tools like Copilot enhance productivity and help catch errors efficiently I use it all the time and implement a lot of projects easily with it with my team.

What I dislike about GitHub is that it can feel overwhelming for new users, especially when managing large repositories or multiple branches. Some advanced features, like enterprise analytics or project management tools, require paid plans, which can get expensive for smaller teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub is the best platform for managing software projects and showcasing them. Most companies ask for your GitHub before they even ask who you are, and that really shows how important it is. On top of that, other projects and initiatives like GitHub for Students, GitHub Codespaces, and agents are real lifesavers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I don’t see any real downside to GitHub overall t’s simply the best. That said, the ongoing updates that remove features from GitHub Copilot for students are a bit disappointing, even if I understand why it happens and it does make sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything is on Github... well, almost everything. Almost every open source project, people's pet projects, the work that I do for various companies... it makes it a little bit similar to how Google Docs/Workspace is everywhere now, so the tools I am used to using in my personal life are also the same tools I use at work.

Github is easy to use, I'm very familiar with how to SSH, it's moderately simple to change my git user so I can attribute work differently to my various personas. Github actions is also very easy to use, and the cron feature is excellent, which helps me automate many workflows.

I use Github every workday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Github has been very flaky recently, to the point where it feels like there is some sort of Github outage every week. This is problematic because it interferes with our releases, all of our CI is tied into github actions at the moment.

They've also begun changing the UI and now the code review tool feels a lot slower.

Particularly annoying is when an outage doesn't just affect CI, but affects pushing or pulling... that halts all productivity rather than just halting releases. Annoying! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate GitHub for its robust code management across environments and its seamless pull request workflow. The platform offers near real-time updates when code is reviewed, approved, and merged, which improves collaboration efficiency. Additionally, its strong integrations with tools like Databricks, GitHub Copilot, PyCharm, and VS Code enhance overall developer productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is very little I dislike about GitHub overall; however, the repeated need to configure or refresh authentication tokens can occasionally be inconvenient and disruptive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub has essentially become the 'operating system' for my development workflow. What I appreciate most is the seamless integration of GitHub Actions directly within the repository; it makes setting up CI/CD pipelines for my Node.js applications incredibly straightforward without needing external tools like Jenkins. The Pull Request interface is also best-in-class for code reviews the ability to leave line-specific comments and suggest changes directly in the UI significantly speeds up our team's collaboration. Plus, the vast ecosystem of GitHub Marketplace actions saves me hours of manual scripting for deployments to AWS or automated testing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the feature set is massive, the UI is starting to feel quite bloated and cluttered, making it difficult for new team members to find specific repository settings. I also find the notification system frustratingly noisy; even with custom filters, important mentions often get buried under automated bot alerts. Additionally, debugging GitHub Actions can be a tedious 'commit-and-push' cycle because there’s no native, robust way to test complex workflows locally. Lastly, the pricing jump from the 'Team' to 'Enterprise' tier feels steep for mid-sized startups that need advanced security features like SAML SSO Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Out of the many things I like, the GitHub Issues connectivity with the Change Request stands out. I also appreciate how easy it is to implement GitHub Actions, along with the wide variety of deployments that can be performed through GitHub Actions.

Another great feature is GitHub Copilot. It helps me tackle many complex tasks, and I like that it can make modifications and raise a change request directly through Copilot itself, without needing as much manual intervention.

I use this very frequently with all of my projects and have a very smooth experience.

I initially used some other tool, but then migrated to Github and the integration and onboarding was very easy and smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn’t describe this as something I dislike, but it can be challenging to learn as a new beginner. For example, when a project has multiple microservices in a single Git repo, setting up GitHub worktrees can become tricky. This is especially true when there are microservice-level configuration files that may differ depending on the branch you’re working on. There may be a solution for this, but I’ve found it a bit difficult to work with so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
