What do you like best about GitHub?

For over a decade and a half, git hub become a heaven for collaborators and developers to share their code among teams. It is a very easy and effective way of collaborating while working with diverse teams. It's CI / CD pipeline feature makes it a first choice among developers and Devops enginers too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Templates should be available and the pipeline help community should be strong for beginners. Easy examples and step-by-step documentation and integration with AWS/GC/AZURE should be available to increase more users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Code versioning, Document versioning, and Content versioning are among a few primary problems, and GitHub has played a successful role to solve the problem. Now in the last couple of year it also stands as a strong tool for CI/CD. As a Full stack developer and DevOps Engineer, I take full advantage of GitHub feature to solve my code versioning, code review, and deployment through GitHub.
