What do you like best about GitHub?

+ GitHub is an exceptionally user-friendly, helpful, and practical platform that allows numerous individuals to work on the same project at the same time, enhancing different aspects of the original project.

+ I continue to use this application and like working with it. This is the best project management and version control software I have ever used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

- The issues remain evident, however, the mobile version might be greatly better. I understand that code review is often not done over the phone, however situations occur and you merely need to approve/request something, and these tiny exchanges can be simpler. However, this is the only one, and therefore is not in violation of the agreement's conditions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I am working on a project, I enjoy seeing how you communicate with other members of your team. I also enjoy how simple it is for you to communicate with your personnel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
