What do you like best about GitHub?

It integrates very well with almost all text editors, which makes it easier to upload files to your repository.

It allows you to set it up so that the contributors can suggest changes, and you can decide whether to apply those changes, enabling you to make your repositories public.

Not to forget that its free version is also available.

Its integrations with Jira and Slack also saves you a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Its functionality is a bit complicated, and using GitBash to upload files to Github requires you to run some commands which you need to remember.

If you need to manage files of a large project using it, you need to be a master of it as you need to learn quite complex features of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am using it for almost all the coding work I do, as it helps a lot in easily recovering past versions of your code. It is also quite useful when working on team projects by adding your team members as your repository contributors. Hence, it saves you a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

1) It helps you track all the changes made to your repository.

2) You can share your code with whoever you want by just adding them as a contributor or by sharing the link.

3) The GitHub repository has a lot of customization potential.

4) It also lets you make your repository public so that anyone worldwide can search for your repo online and contribute to it.

5) It shows your repository insights too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

1) The main thing I dislike about GitHub is that its functionality is a bit too complicated if you are a beginner and takes time when starting.

2) Integrating it with VS Code is a bit difficult, but once you do it, it makes your task much easier.

3) You need to keep the repository settings appropriate so that the contributor can just suggest changes and not directly make changes to the repo (Exception in case of team projects). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is very helpful when you are on a team project. It helps in tracking all the past versions of my repo. It integrates very well with VS code and allows continuous integration which saves your time of uploading your new file to git to track the changes manually. Also, the repo insights that Git provides are very much beneficial too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

GitHub is an excellent platform to manage our project's source code, deployment lifecycle and code reviews. GitHub is highly secure and reliable. We can have our repositories as private or public. Private Repositories can only be accessed by us or our team or invited members; Other users can't access them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

There is nothing to dislike about GitHub. It has excellent features. A few things need to be improved, like their customer support; When we raise a support ticket, they take 3-4 days to resolve it. Else every thing is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use GitHub to manage my Web Development Projects. GitHub has an automation flow. So we can make our developments easy using CI (Continues Integration)/CD (Continuous Delivery).

Using the git CLI tool, we can commit, push and pull the changes from/to GitHub. If we have set up CI/CD, our deployments get easy. We can also manage different versions of our projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I best thing about GitHub is that they have been working on improving the overall experience of the platform by integrating it with other tools and platforms and doing so now we can use it even for authentication on other sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

Cloud Storage that can manage multiple projects and multiple branches. The best part is to have multiple collaborators. Can get an insight into all the collaborators. The web portal is very user-friendly and I can easily review the PRs also it's very handy when we need to analyze the different commits by viewing the code changes in different files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

GitHub Desktop App is not that user-friendly, I personally feel that the Source Tree is more user-friendly than the GitHub desktop.

Also, I would like to have some customize notification system for mobile apps so that we can get specific alerts based on our needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Maintaining the code on cloud, code versioning and it also helps to manage multiple developers to work on a single code base. Easy to perform code reviews and manage Application versioning. Helps to perform QA using different branches of the code. Code backups are automatically managed using github Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
