What do you like best about GitHub?

I like how the platform will hold your code free of charge for start ups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

I dislike the pain the site causes when trying to log in to access a current account. I would have loved to upgrade the service to enterprise. If they would have made it easier for me to retrieve my verification code in order to log in. My verification codes are delayed by 4-5 hours. Therefore, I have been trying to log into the site for 3 days now unsuccessfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I like the additional security on the site but not at my expense of time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

git provides good support but there is no main back in git. also when you accidentally fire any command it has the power to delete entire code from Cloude. need more power full extension for tools like android studio, vs code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

I like Github's collaboration feature that allows me to share my code with my friends and colleagues. Also, free web hosting for projects for students is incredible. I am using the Github Developer pack in which I love the Github pages feature alot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Actually I love all the features of github. I use Github on daily basis for uploading my projects. However one thing, I dont' like much is proper guidance of usage. As there are so many features in github (which is obviously good), but I am not able to know the uses of all the buttons. So I have to google and then I get to know the use of feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Github is providing a complete environment from managing the code, hosting it and after uploading that, we can also control it's versions. It is a complete package for doing a team project. It helps to build co-ordination between team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

The ability to leave reviews on code and learning in that process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Not much to pick at, but if github has a function, that reminds reviewers to review pull requests on a bi-daily/daily basis, that would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Github provides a platform for us to collab and work on codes. Reviewing codes has been the most important component. Without code review, things would have gone wrong quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
