What do you like best about GitHub?

Github is a distributed version control system which helps to track changes done during development of any software.

A major part of software developer community takes help of GitHub to develop their software products.

There are plenty of open source projects where anyone can contribute with the help of GitHub.

It really simplifies the development of big projects where developers are contributing seperately.

The repository , pull and push requests really helps to integrate and manage the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

The platform is not so beginner friendly.

The learning curve is high but this is best for developers. It's tricky for users to become friendly with commands for merging , pulling , pushing etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GitHub:

I will recommend this software to the students as well as software developers to work on their projects collaborately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I develope software with my teams on thus platform by merging to the different master and kther branches.

It so convenient to work on a project parallely by more then one developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use GitHub to store all my projects at one place. It makes it easy to share changes and collaborate with my team across the board. Another feature GitHub provides that i usually use is Codebeat. This feature provides automated code analysis. It is especially useful for individuals who are engaged in the development of apps for mobile devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I dislike about Github. It just works great for me.

You have to memorize few commands to work flawlessly, but once you get familiar with the environment, it makes a lot more sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GitHub:

I would highly recommend others GitHub because this is an excellent tool for software development teams. It can be used by groups of any size and in any project to work collectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My company uses this as a primary place to keep our codebase. We can keep our repositories private, and thus, it only allows company employees to access them. It also enables rapid publication of public code on the Internet, improving the release process I usually use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As I am working with a large organization, many developers need to work on the same project at a time, and in that case, managing code is a lot hectic. Github is the best solution we found, from which we can manage code efficiently, and we can easily roll back to previous code if the current code is not working.
