What do you like best about GitHub?

Github makes it very convenient for me as a developer to ensure that the development cycle is carried out efficiently. The platform is very responsive and easy to understand even for an amateur. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

There isn't much to dislike about Github honestly. There is sometimes a noticeable lag while pushing large branches. This however is sporadic, but can be often extremely annoying when handling large projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ease of use and backups.

As a user i don't have to go through a rigorous learning curve. Github is quite easy to understand. I can spawn new branches without having to worry about crashes and regressions but maintaining individual branches Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about GitHub?

Git Hub is very easy to use with a friendly UI. GitHub is also equipped with a good CI/CD, so in most cases, you don't have to depend on third-party services. Another feature I love is the project management tool i.e the built-in Kanban board is good enough to manage a project. In one sentence GitHub offers all the tools necessary for software development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

GitHub should be an open source platform to host open source code. Though it uses a lot of open source code I don't think Microsoft commits enough to reward those developers. And I think this is the major reason many developers are leaving for alternatives like GitLab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use GitHub for version control, code hosting and project management for all my projects both personal and professional. It saves a lot of time and as it is currently the most commonly used, almost all my developers are familiar with it. GitHub also offers integration with major deployment platform so it made our task easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
