What do you like best about GitHub?

The GitHub desktop application is one of the easiest and simplest version control tool. I like the easy and clean UI of GitHub and almost all git features using the UI GitHub.com.

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

GihHub is helping to manage our project code versioning, which helps us to maintain the history of code and easily add and remove the newly added codes that are breaking applications or have a bug.
