(Original )Information
What do you like best about GitHub?

The best part about Github is that it is cloud based version repositoy tool. It provides all features of any classic version control tool, where multiple developers can contribute and collaborate together. Few good features

- Pull request reviews are easy

- Desktop and web clients are robust, simple to learn, and use

- Great Documentation and help articles over the web Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

With all good features, I personally think Github lacks in following areas

1. Code comparision - the tool is not so intutive like Phabrigator, when it comes to visuallization while comparing diffs.

2.Code search is not so good and does not provide great results.

3. Setting up of Github CLI was way too challenging as have to generate public key mulitple times to get the connection established.

4.Not an easy tool for beginners Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Github is solving the problem of centralized respository or Centralized version control system, instead Github offers "feature" branches, through which multiple developers can work on single code respository by spliting off a feature branch that provides an isolated local repository for making changes to the code.

What do you like best about GitHub?

If you ask a developer where to store their code, one of the first answers will be GitHub. This is also the case with me. It is widely used and adapted, and that is what I like about it. It is easy to use, integrate and almost never down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Some downsides of GitHub are their account plan limitations which you might eventually fall for when keeping your code sources private. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

GitHub offers a solution to store code sources either in a public (open source) or private (closed source) way. The service is generously free and widely adapted. As a developer you can easily add others to your project or let them fork from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
