The ability to create code repositories, collaborate on coding in real-time with multiple parties, and even automate code deployment are what I cherish the best about Github.

As a result of the aforementioned, we are completing software projects faster than we did, before Github. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User interface navigation needs to be more intuitive, especially for new users . Apart from this, I think I have been satisfied with my Github experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Github for efficient code collaboration, multi-party code reviews , code testing and deployment.

What do you like best about GitHub?

The ability for multiple developers and engineers working on the same software project, to divide tasks amongst themselves , code individually from their respective location and merge their finished tasks as a whole project.

This has made software project completion time, a lot faster. I shouldn't also forget Githubs version control feature. I like it because it has made it easy to track all previous changes made to a project code, allowing me reverse or restore to previous code changes if need be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Having a difficult time coming up with any cons about my Github experience. While there are much needed improvements, such as the lack of a proper graphical user interface tool, there is really nothing I outrightly dislike about Github. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In my company, GitHub is used for managing repositories for all software projects across my department. Personally, I sometimes use Github to follow interesting open source projects ,which I can contribute to, thereby improving my project portfolio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

First of all, the best part is that we can host our website without a domain free of cost. Apart from my likes, it has beautiful features like sharing a code module with our co-workers, and we can do work collaboratively . I used to upload all the code files of training subjects and efficiently distribute them with all trainees. It saves all my time, and personally, I always feel without Git, what would be my life mean nothing. According to my experience, almost a population of developers are using Github due to its unique features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

The only disadvantage it has is not friendly GUI, although it is but for new users, it little bit tricky to create the repository. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am using it to host my websites which I create to show to my team members, and As I am a trainer, so used to share all code files with my trainees just by using link which automatically provided by GitHub when I create a new Repository, Usually, for each repository, it offers us a new connection and which can be used by everyone with whom we share it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

I like Githubs version history feature the most. Infact, I am in love with it. Being able to view past iterations of the code for specific software projects, access past comments, feedbacks and tasks assigned etc is like having an eagle-eye view of a project.

By using Github version history feature, I am able to better compare and contrast present and past iterations of every software project, I am a part of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Junior engineers in my organization have complained about Githubs user interface not being intuitive for new users and thus affecting their learning curve. In my own personal relationship with Github as a user, I tend to think that its two factor authentication function, can work faster. It just takes too much time to navigate Githubs 2FA( two factor authentication) security barrier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Github is used at my organization to address real-time, remote collaboration issues in the course of any development project we undertake. Github has been beneficial in areas of version control and code management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

The good thing is it works on Windows, Linux, Mac, etc. It provides a free trial, code permission, debugging tool, bug tracking, code security, milestone tracking, version control, and much more. Even it provides support for almost all popular languages. It is an open-source project, and even large enterprises use it. Its ability to commit and collaborate the code is very easy and provides fast output. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

There's nothing bad about it, but it has no mobile support, and the search function is quite bad. Sometimes pull and push process become quite impossible for new Github users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GitHub:

If you are in the development field, then you must use it as it will help you to deploy the code online and maintain its version and track the changes being made day to day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am using Github to deploy the code and showcase the work to employers and, to collaborate with my teammates. It helps us to maintain the version control of our code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

GitHub is a collaborative platform that helps you find solutions to your programming problems, and it also enables you to keep track of potential candidates for a job profile. You can distinguish genuine coders from the herd based on their contributions and the followers and their activities on the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

GitHub is a multifunctional platform - it has so many uses. I love the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

GitHub has multifold uses - I used it to find projects and post my coding error and problems during my engineering, and now I use it to discover new talent. Usually, when looking for developers, I go to the platform and search for people based on their skills. I consider their followers and what they are currently doing, their contributions on the forum, and contact them if they match the profile. GitHub helps me discover genuine coders.

What do you like best about GitHub?

Github has all the projects that are open source, and we can integrate other projects with our project. It also helps us to attract recruiters by showcasing our project to different viewers and recruiters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

There is nothing on this platform that I dislike, but a fresher or the person using it for the first time can find it challenging to use it, and they have to go through a guide to know how to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

When I was in engineering, keeping your project in your system was very space-consuming, and sharing it with others was difficult. So, using Github can solve both these problems, and sharing your project and cloning it with the IDE is very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

Git gives a version control facility, and it is easy to use. Git is freely available. If on the same project multiple developers are working, then we need to sync the code at the end. In this case, Git will come into the picture. Some basic commands of git Clone, Push, add, commit, push origin master etc.

Git can identify in which code section the developer changes, so whenever you push your code, only changes code section reflects as changed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

I don't feel any dislike in git. it is freely available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
