It is very easy to use and we can maintain our code at one place and colaborate with team. It also has the github actions which I recently used. Its pretty useful to implement CICD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love github. There is no Major thing that I can give me the reason to dislike it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub is really handy when it comes to collaboratively working on any project going on.
In almost all organization and even at college level everyone is using GitHub so it's definitely really good platform.
Now if I talk about some of the good features so those includes good compatibility with VS Code it goes really well with VS Code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is not much to dislike about Vscode but before start using GitHub learn it properly. As if you are working on any real time project and you somehow rollback your changes or did any wrong commit on master branch then it's really difficult to get previous version sometimes it's just vanishes. So be careful and learn properly before you start using it on real time projects.
GitHub is having some security threats although it's enterprise edition is fine not having such threats so still okay for organizations if they are using enterprise version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.


The ease of integration between public and private repositories, all under one roof. Community really plays a huge part when it comes to collaborative software development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Pricing could be a little better, especially for internal low usage users who need minimal access only. Features wise, the CI bit is lacking compared to it's sole major competitor thus far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub is the best depository framework along with git. Anyone can have unlimited fast storage in such a repository system. Considering GitHub along with git, I can have all I need as a developer. As I am a software engineer, I have to collaborate with my team now and then. Nevertheless, we have to consistently use the CI/CD framework for system deployment and updates. So GitHub is the best companion in this circumstance used as our code depository system. However, working in a team, we need to have several operations which we have to consider. So the pull, push, merge, rebase, cherry-pick, and PR issues are some of the brilliant concepts that GitHub provided us with. While working in a team, we have to maintain specific rules such as no code gets lost when someone from another PC/laptop modifies it. In these cases, git rebase and merge is the best solution. So, from a developer's perspective, GitHub has no other alternative to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While working with large files, we have to use another third-party tool along with GitHub, Git LFS, which is somewhat troublesome and annoying. However, Git LFS also has certain issues regarding the storage limitations, which bring another issue of paid membership of this software system. Again, for students, Github needs many verification stages for its pro account, which is somewhat annoying at times. Furthermore, GitHub doesn't directly show its commit and collaboration graph, for which a user needs to use third-party software for getting the insight. Again, for a basic account, GitHub doesn't let its user create a private repository which becomes a problem to many ill-paid developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GitHub is well integrated with a lot of different value add-on services. The free plan is enough for most of the personal and hobby projects. The native client is good and there are a lot of third party clients that extend the functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is a bit of a learning curve in learning the version control system. There are a lot of commands that need to be memorized to completely utilize the power of GitHub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub helped me find solutions to my coding errors. It is a collaborative platform that connects the coding community and helps reach efficient solutions. The bug Tracking mechanism is efficient. You can also receive reviews from your peers and better your code. The platform is secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the GitHub platform. I still have to unlock its full potential, but so far, the functionality is impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Following are the things that I like the most about Github -
1. There is hardly any leaning curve. Things are very intuitive and there are a lot of help documents if someone needs help.
2. Added Two Factor Authentication feature so that even if someone gets my credentials, they would not be able to log in and access my private repositories .
3. The function navigation feature is great. I can click on a function usage and it will land me to the definition of the function (if it is in the same repository).
4. Github Gist allows me to share snippets publicly.
5. Github Actions make automation in the development process very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is not much I dislike about Github but there are some improvements I can think of (not a deal breaker though) -
1. The mobile app still needs a lot of development. (Hoping that the Beta app becomes Stable release in the near future)
2. There is no way to segregate user's contribution wrt the organisation.
3. Notification system - I always miss notifications for some reason. Compared to competitior products, the notification system can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GitHub has been placed as an essential tool for every software developer, it's a great solution to share and collaborate with other software developers, allowing them to read and download your source code and even to run it and change it from their own machines to propose changes.
This is an awesome feature when you are part of a software development team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are many good features about GitHub, the only thing that I could suggest is to improve their user interface to give them a better appearance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In fact I like everything. To mention - the light weightedness of the software. Not much user response delay. A lot of configuration options like a different level of user groups - user, maintainer, owner, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't see any but sometimes the build checks fail for the unclosed previous PRs even in the case the current PR does not have an real issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
