1. Storing the code in our repository.
2. Ease of creating pull request.
3. Ease of creating feature branches.
4. Integration with the devops tools.
5. Making the repository private or public based on our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As far as I worked I don't have any demerits.For now everything is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The community is so big, so powerful, and basically every product out there will integrate with it. It also supports open source, so creating a public repository is free of charge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Operating a web or software service-based business is tough with Github. Github charges on a "per private repository" basis, so if you have a lot of clients you're building applications for, and (obviously) require the source to be private, you'd be paying a fortune only to keep that source on Github. There are other better choices out there where you pay a standard fixed monthly or annual fee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GitHub has good-enough solutions for everything our team needs to run well. The core version-control offering is great. The other offerings — project management, continuous integration, and wikis are relevant to us — are not as good, but integrate well enough with each other that we haven't found it worthwhile to move off GitHub for anything but wiki.

Notification settings are quite course-grained. It's taken me months to get mine in good order. I'm pretty sure most of our developers just leave the default settings and are overwhelmed by the flood. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All the workflows and things that a software development team needs from a git cloud tool.
Creating PRs, issues, releases, tags, managing git stuff from cloud, CI workflows, and now even AI copilot (although it's not that useful at times tbh)
It just gets the work done. It's like if it didn't exist, then it would be hard to use the alternatives, although I've also used Bitbucket and Gitlab. Github just seems intuitive and clean, and works well.
Deep dive into its features is not something that can be covered here, for that it's best to signup and just explore what you need. But yeah, we're good with Github for now.
Integrations with Slack, Jira, etc, are colossal productivity time savers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Code browsing isn't that fluid and like how it is in IDEs yet. It's cumbersome and not something I use tbh.
There should be a bar at the top where I can do fuzzy search for any file or files containing that search term.
In PR reviews, there should be threading of replies, like in reddit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
we can use the command-line interface, Git, to make and monitor any changes using GitHub to find source codes in a variety of languages.
Additionally, knowing GitHub enables any team to work remotely on projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A good API development is not available on GitHub.
Compared to other repository platforms available on the market, GitHub has less functionalities and Most users stopped using GitHub because of some of its useful services, which are charged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how GitHub provides a secure and reliable platform to host both public and private open source projects. It has been especially helpful for school assignments, allowing multiple people to easily collaborate on the same project. By providing an issue tracker and merge requests, it has greatly improved the accessibility of various open source software development processes. Pull requests enable more efficient code reviews, while its Actions feature enables continuous integration operations that also help streamline further development activities.

I do not like the fact that Github is difficult to learn, which makes it difficult to get up to speed initially. However, as my experience with it grows, I've come to appreciate its many benefits and convenience for programmers. Aside from the challenge of getting started on Github, there are few downsides to using this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GitHub makes it easy to collaborate on projects with friends, co-workers and other developers. GitHub integrates with most text developers. It supports integration with Slack as well as Jira. It is easy for other developers to contribute, suggest enhancements to code and seamlessly cooperate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The paid version of GitHub is costly. GitHub is complex and you must know the commands to run to get things done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love it as it is one of the best platforms for free deployment and practising it for the longest. And it is very easy to use, with no complex architecture of files and folders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like the fact that it has no customizing option while deploying. It is the same for everyone, no one gets to create a customised GitHub page for their project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub is a web-based version control system (git)
- One of the most GitHub features is Github Pages:
If you have a static website (i.e. your portfolio), you can use Githb pages to host it for free
- Github always adds new features like search mode, command mode
and the most recent beta feature is a new code browser you can browse and search your code like any editor (i.e. atom)
- Fine-grained personal access tokens are a perfect solution to generate access to your repositories. You can specify repository and permissions
Github also provides CI/CD and many other features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For my use, GitHub was perfect, but you will take a long time to master it
in the beginning, it seems easy, and then you will be shocked, ooh there are a lot of features to learn how to use it.
It will always be easy if you use it for basic use only Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm no Github power user (which perhaps makes my opinion more valuable to a certain subset of readers), but even I can see its value in helping teams of developers input, edit, and control versions of code. This is particularly true for large teams or full companies working on multiple apps at all times. Github's web interface and native MacOS app also both make the experiences of pulling, pushing, and committing changes accessible even to those of us less versed in those processes.

While I can recognize the power and flexibilty of Github's CLI experience, I don't personally feel confident using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
