What do you like best about GitHub?

GitHub is the best platform to host code repositories for all our projects. We use it very frequently every day to easily collaborate with team members and work on the same project simultaneously. I like GitHub features of effortlessly creating pull requests, adding reviewers & tags and easily tracking work through user commits. GitHub also offers great support for integration with build tools. We have created a custom script to build images for deployment from our GitHub projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

This is no as such downside of GitHub as it offers amazing features and is very convenient to use. Using GitHub for about 5 years now, I have not faced any concerning issues till now. As a suggestion, I believe that GitHub can benefit from helping users resolve merge conflicts easily through their browser application instead of telling us to resolve conflicts from our local editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GitHub solving and how is that benefiting you?

GitHub helps our company in many ways, majorly in maintaining the code base of our projects in a secure place and accessible only to the members of the concerned team. It helps us to easily maintain proper versions of our code and track the commits made by each team member. It also helps us to easily collaborate with teammates and work simultaneously on the same project. We always create pull requests for code reviews by peers before merging code changes. Lastly, after code merges, we create automatic builds from the main branch and use that to deploy on production environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
