What do you like best about GitHub?

The level of control you have with the commands, especially terminal wali. The management of versions of the same code written by different people. the merging, branches all are impressive in Github Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

with great power comes great responsibility and that too is with Github, because if you are new to Github and you only know about a few commands' working (especially beginner), and somehow by mistake you got your hands dirty with advanced commands then things start becoming scary and scary. so I think there should be a level of knowledge badge attached to each user profile and only limited actions are allowed to perform. If the user wants to update the level of command then have to give some sort of test Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It makes the whole team at same level. when we are working on a project and we want everybody to have updated code, the basic level of managing is to code and merge manually but what if that scary task is done by somebody else only thing you have to do is push and pull (IN CODE ;) obviously ) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

Github supports me to use markdown for writing formatted documents. Therefore, I use markdown for Github wikis, issue tracking , user comments etc

I will just say i use the markdown markup language for every documentation-related activity on the Github platform. My using markdown on Github has prevented the need to learn yet another programming language just to set-up projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

For every cloud based platform , there is a forever a risk of data/security breach. Since all informations saved on this platform only requires someone who has a login to breach them. I should state though that Github maintains provisions to reduce the likelihood for a data breach . A commendable provision made by Github will be the Dependabot feature , which I find very effective but I admit as well it is not foolproof and maybe nothing is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The need for a code hosting platform, where developers involved in team software projects can collaborate remotely is why we deployed Github. Github connects key aspect of our software development processes together (version control , software bug tracking , deployment ) . Connecting the aforementioned stages of product development together, has reduced product deployment time and made our processes a lot more efficient and measurable.

What do you like best about GitHub?

I like that GitHub is so well-known and most people know how to use it. It makes working and collaborating with others easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

I guess this is probably a good thing but I am traveling and GitHub detected that my login was from a different place. For my own protection and security, GitHub blocked some actions and I needed recovery codes. I am still not sure how to get the recovery codes but it made things a little difficult and at the same time, GitHub security was top-notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Version control, peer reviews

We use GitHuB and Stoplight to publish and maintain developer documentation. GitHub makes it easy for our team to work together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

The best part about Github is that one can easily create repositories and collaborate. There should be the option to delete the file, which is pushed to the branch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub has helped store the project code and work with the team in collaboration. Also, getting reviews from peers is a plus in improving the website. After editing any code, we can immediately update the code on GitHub by entering a few commands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
