What do you like best about GitHub?

GitHub is a handy website for source control, Organizing your projects, collaborating with other developers, sharing source code with a community of like-minded people. GitHub also offers desktop software with an all-exclusive version control software with Full power of Git integrated as GUI. Being a self-taught Programmer, Students, as well as Experienced programmers, love to collaborate on this website. The website itself has tons of Projects available with Complete Source code access. Eventually, we can download that for Free and make the requisite changes. The version control system of Git, alongside the release tagging functionality, makes it an excellent addition to the Software Developer's tool list. Whenever I need to find a piece of code to use in the project or a completely open-source project, GitHub is my Solution! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

The user interface and the overall functionality of GitHub can prove to be challenging for a newbie. It also lacks some security features needed for hosting Private, personal projects in the Private Repository. Unlike other source control software, GitHub has size restrictions that can be a pain sometimes. The web interface also limits uploading a specific number of files, forcing the usage of command-line tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The major Problem GitHub solved for my colleagues and me in the version control feature offered via the Desktop App. We can back up our projects, commit line-by-line modifications, and use branching to solve major bugs during a production timeline. Apart from that, GitHub has helped me find numerous open source projects that have made my life easier during my career. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am solving some of the problems related to the project which will not perform in an efficient way and not get by the other developers for solving the same kind of things related to the work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

Github is a version control tool that helps us to keep track of the codes that we write. We can easily switch back to the previous versions if any problem arises in the current code. Besides, Github can also be used to work as a team of Developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Github doesn't support the hosting of server-side applications like python, node.js, etc. It would be a complete platform if this feature was also provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being a web developer, I need to write thousands of lines of code daily. It becomes tedious and lengthy to track the codes and if any mistake occurs then it becomes so much hard to switch back to the previous working code. By the use of Github, it has been a lot easier which has benefitted in the overall production of our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

I have been working in teams from last 4-5 years and my journey as a developer becomes hassle free when i came to know about github and its compatibility of connecting developer teams into a single unit. Its is an awesome tool where I can upload my code and see others code. Reviewing code is a plus feature of github. Github actions makes it more easy to check errors in production builds and i can directly deploy my application, webapps via github pages. As a student developer, github also helps us providing the students with professional softwares free of cost via their github student pack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

If we are talking about GitHub, there is nothing that I can say that is not up to the mark. Everything is in its place. The new in-browser VS-code feature needs to be worked on. Other than that, everything is cool and awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Github has a solution to every developer's problem. What does a student developer need? A solution platform where we can collaborate and understand how the open-source industry works. Working with GitHub, I can quickly deploy my websites on GitHub pages for testing purposes. Many other hosting services can directly deploy code from GitHub very quickly. Code collaboration is the biggest solution that Github has provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

I'm not too fond of GitHub's learning curve, so as a new developer, it will be challenging to learn it, but with time, the reward of knowing it shows its fruit. Github's learning campus is available, but it is not for novice people as the concept goes over your head. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GitHub:

I would recommmed if you are a novoice then spend time and learn it properly it will benefit you a lot in your career Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

By hosting our projects on GitHub we were able to provide static portfolio websites also; we had unique projects on there that was easy to collaborate on, and the contribution to open source projects has never been easy. Github has done a lot in that field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first problem I have solved with Github is the ability to work with a team. Before I got to know about I didn't know about version control. Version controlling has helped me to achieve my degree program in a huge supportive way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
