GitHub's seamless integration of version control, issue tracking, and collaborative code review makes it an indispensable hub for developers to work together efficiently and produce high-quality software projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the advanced concepts pose a great barrier for beginners such as branching and complex workflows. Github is online so sometimes I haved faces issues when there is very poor internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have explored popular remote Git options like Bitbucket, and Gitlab but nothing as intuitive, collaborative, and user-friendly as GitHub. The best thing I like about GitHub is that it can be a simple platform when you like - but can also be a complex one when you want. For example, for smaller projects, I simply use GitHub issues to keep track of backlogs and sprints, but for bigger projects, I can use the Projects module and GitHub actions. I also love the security alerts, saved me a few times from possible credentials leaks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There isn't anything particular I dislike about GitHub, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GitHub provides reliable storage for our projects. Combined with SSH authentication, we can manage employee access to certain repositories using our in-house SSH key management system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Certain repositories may contain sensitive information that is not suitable for a third-party cloud enviornment. Such data has to be encrypted before being uploaded, a function that could be natively implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best part of github its simple ui by which we can easily share our code with team and work on shared project efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing as of now , experience with github was smooth till now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

managing codes so efficiently, i can literally review the code, open the code using phone/ web, and it doesn't require any IDE to make changes as well, as a senior developer I have to verify the code which has been written by my team. and I can change it from anywhere.

when doing open-sourcing, I have to purchase the GitHub Copilot and don't want to buy it. at least give some of the features free with a limit so that we can check if worth than I can purchase because I think of try and buy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Github for keeping the track of my codes and all of my projects. I like using GIT HUB as it provides different versions of my code which I have written and I can anytime revert back to them. Also I can access that from anywhere and start working on that by creating my own branch with interfering with the master branch Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Well to start with, it seemed really difficult to learn about github in starting. It is a bit harder for a begineer. So to make it easier to understand can be the first step towards improvement Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub was easy to use for me to upload new transaction files and compare changes to a main file. Then the system would give me a file of the differences. This allowed me to just make the changes without having to figure out what the changes were. After I updated the database, I merged the file into the Main to be ready for the next file with new transactions. I was able to keep a copy of the field, so I could recover at any point if needed. I am part of a Software Development team and all the Developers use GitHub here to manage/track/document any system code changes for several systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes I accidentally made a multiple in my Update file area and I had trouble getting it back to one update file. I was a novice with GitHub and my boss gave me the highlights to perform one type of task weekly on one file that grew. So, it was hard to learn how to recover from a mistake without my boss's assistance. Eventually, I will add junior developer skills to assist our developers as I learn Apex and Oracle on my own. I am an Applications System Analyst and GitHub is a minor part of my workload at this point. I think the documentation help is geared more toward experienced users, and not novices who never used it and then got a little mentoring and used it minimally. I am not sure if you have a section on Getting Started on very basic use to gain experience and help towards more advanced use. THat would be my only suggestion, as this tool is usually geared toward major Developers, not someone branching into the area with little experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Github has offered us a great way to branch and remain with a seemingly international standard of using GIT, without any charges or excess setup. Our entire company relies on Github for all of our code needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Github and Git itself can be very confusing to use. It definitely takes a lot of upfront learning investment, but once you have it you're set! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Github checks all the boxes for a basic version controlling platform, but it has so much more available. It has tons of great integrations to run tests against code, as well as plenty of ways to create internal documentation similar to a wiki article. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
