What do you like best about GitHub?

GitHub constantly adds new features, not just trivial stuff, but stuff that improves my daily workflow and makes my job more straightforward and faster. I use GitHub every day as a collaboration tool, and I don't think I could do my job without it. Recently, they added a "jump-to" feature in the code viewer that makes navigating code and code reviews so much easier. They also have many powerful organizational tools built-in that help me with documentation, publishing releases, reviewing other people's code, integration with build systems, and organizing large amounts of work.

They also recently removed their paid tier and made all their old paid features free for all users, such as private repositories, which I appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

One thing that bothers me is that GitHub has outages more often than I would like. Usually, these outages end up lasting several hours and make it hard, if not impossible, to get any work done. These outages affect everyone at my company, resulting in a significant loss of work during those outages. I understand that outages are inevitable, but for such a massive and critical service to so many companies, I hope it would happen less often. However, at least they are very good about updating user's when outages occur and how long it will be until they are fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

GitHub solves the problem of collaborative engineering and coding. It allows me and my company to work on sophisticated software projects in unison without overwriting each other's work, doing the same job twice, etc. It also has a lot of organizational features that help my company plan great efforts and save time. GitHub is the industry standard for source control and code collaboration and the skills I've developed when using it have transferred between every professional job I've had.
