The ease of uploading codes and sharing them with your friends and co-workers.

One thing I don't like is that the free version has a space usage limit (you can't exceed 100 MB in a single file)

In addition to the fact that it is not fully open Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Github solves the problem of code hosting, it can share my code so that other people can use it, but if needed I also have the option to private my code and allow only specific people to see it and make changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

GitHub is an amazing Source Code Management Tool & versioning tool. Compatible with all the popular IDEs like VS Code, make life so so easier. Provides a lot of features to collaborate and manage the projects. Feature rich in Automation & CI/CD, Security(MFA), client apps connectivity and project management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Initial learning curve w.r.t. the behaviour, functioning and the commands to perform actions like commit, push, pull, etc. After a while you get used to it, and it actually makes the work much more easier as it has an extensive documentation as well as help options for each command. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

GitHub helps us in collaborating between multiple teams and version control helps in always maintain a working code for every team that we all can rely upon. Also, the support for webhooks makes the automation a lot simpler enabling us to trigger deployments as soon as changes are made which makes very effective CI/CD pipelines.

What do you like best about GitHub?

I like that everything is present in one place, from creating public repositories to deploying on GitHub pages. This makes it more wholesome in itself, and since it is free to use and share what all you have made so far, it is great to use as a fresher or student in the computer science field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Though it is a great platform, things like the security code on every login are irritating. Platform-wise, there are limited options for deployment as applications based on the backend cannot be directly deployed here, which I count as a drawback as only frontend-based applications deployment is not enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I do not have to pay any amount while using the services here. It is a free, open-source platform. The collaboration feature is also beneficial to me as I can improve anybody else's code and vice versa without any hassle of credentials and vpn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
