What do you like best about GitHub?

GitHub's UI is very straight forward. It is very easy to create issues and review PRs.

One new feature that is amazing is the possibility to open a Visual Studio Code like editor to navigate the PR code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

I think the two weakest points that GitHub has are the discussions and wiki sections.

There is no way to receive notifications on discussions and contributing to the wiki is hard.

You need to do some thicks to version it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps us organize our code and review PRs. We spend quite a large amount of time looking at code there so we appreciate that the UI is clean and lets us see differences in an easy manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

It has the most helpful bug tracking and issue-resolving feature which support handling the code versions with various updations. we have integrated visual studio,iar workbench and other IDE tools where all the newly developed source code is directly committed and pushed onto the git. It supports CI/CD for regression testing and provides the compare and pull request where the reviewer can check all the changes in the code. user don't have to invest in security because GitHub itself handles all the security related stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Sometimes push and pull method of the changes give confusion to users and sometimes is going mess up.It is very hard to synchronisation with local client.I do not like its web interface path.Its fork and commit feature used to purpose the changes in client repositories and sometimes it provides the issue to user.I could be improve its visual studio integration for source code development Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GitHub:

It has features to store the code and project related dtabase in one place where any tem member can access the database and source code anytime with various versions.Student and freelanceres can store their source code in the github without any charges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have Stores our source code for various versions and with easyness of code merging with various branch it supports project handling and integration with JIRA tool helps to resolve the bugs which is created by developer.Its git bash support our team to easily integrate various IDE tool which handles all the repositories.

What do you like best about GitHub?

Github has been great for our team because it adds powerful social interaction on top of the Git platform. Github's web interface makes it easy to discuss and link to code, manage changes, view deployment statuses, and so much more. It makes the code management process a pleasure instead of a confusing chore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

I have few issues with the Github product itself, but I do take issue with the privacy rights that are handed over to Microsoft by using the platform. The CoPilot tool trained itself on open-source Github-hosted code with little respect to licenses for making derivative products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Github is making it easy to coordinate code reviews and changes in a simple-to-use user interface. Its VSCode integration makes effective change management accessible from right within the IDE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

GitHub is an open-source version control tool available out there, and it is the best of its kind. It is recommended for college students who are looking to use a free but efficient tool to manage their code base and deployment. Github.io pages give an extra function to deploy a static website. Github is a user-friendly tool that also supports markdown files, which is easy for documentation purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Only one static site can be deployed through github.io facilities, the option to deploy multiple static sites would have been useful. Over the years, GitHub has not made any changes to its UI, more customization to the UI would have been nice. Other than that, it is the best of its kind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GitHub:

Github is a key pillar in the software engineering industry. Tons of open source projects with proper documentation can be found on GitHub. If you are a tech enthusiast like me, this is the best option to dive further into the software development industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Storing project-related code is being done through Github. GitHub provides a smooth version controlling system through the git bash/ GitHub Desktop function. It is easier to integrate code through the Github repository to other deployment services and databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

Github makes my coding workflow just a seamless experience. I do not need to tap a colleague to remind them to make changes to our code base . As important as well, is the ability Github gives me to access and review previous changes made to a project, therefore allowing easy audition of code contributions made by every developer to a completed or active project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Github comes with an initial steep learning curve. Learning to clone repositories, merge branches and push changes are aspects of Github usage which a new user has to be very conversant with, to effectively use this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The need for inter connectivity between our code version history, repository and build integration is why we use Github. Integrating Github into our production environment, has allowed multiple users with overlapping duties to contribute and manage projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
