What do you like best about GitHub?

The best part about Github is it's version control and source code management facilities. Since it was acquired by microsoft it also became free till a certain limit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

One thing that can be improved in Github is the large file support of Github. It doesn't support large files easily and even after purchasing storage the limit is just 50gb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am leading product development in my company, and Github helps me manage the entire source code of my project. It also allows smooth collaboration among all the team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

GitHub has always been a 1:1 relationship with git for my software development teams. It is easy to use, most developers have used it in the past, and GitHub is continually adding great, new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

There is little I dislike about GitHub. The only grievance I have is from their purchase of Pull-Panda, which had many features for tracking how the team was doing with pull-requests but were never fully integrated into GitHub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

GitHub does a great job at peer code reviews. Outside of assisting with version control, expanding on Git, this has been the main use case for using GitHub for the longest time. GitHub allows for easy and clear communication between developers on code reviews. The addition of GitHub Actions has been great to integrate CI/CD into one application.

What do you like best about GitHub?

Source control is just as important as the code itself. I've used several source control software in my career from CVS, P4V, SVN, name it. They all pretty much do the job, but Git made branching a lot easier for end users. And GitHub allowed managing Git repos a lot easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Wish there would be more shortcuts for common tasks like reviews to do, open pull requests (all repos) etc. I believe there is but it is not as easy to find in the common workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Software and version control is primary. We also use it for Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery. In software development, having code that you can review history, embed documentation and is easily shareable is key to success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
