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

GitHub solves a lot of problems, for me, the code review feature, PR changes preview feature, and ability to start a thread on each line of code change and directly replace them with `commit suggestion` button are the best one Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frequent release of new features after being acquired by Microsoft Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
