What do you like best about GitHub?

GitHub helped me a lot as a student and an employee of the company. There are many benefits to using GitHub. We are creating our project repository there and showing it to the public and professionals. It is highly professional software where you work as an employee with your team. This is a free source for deploying your project, which is the best feature of Github.

It is very easy to use. You can take a review of other professionals for your projects.

The best feature of GitHub is that, with fork feature, you can copy a project from another user and use his project for learning and working, if you want to collaborate with another user (developer) on the same project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?
