(Original )Information
What do you like best about GitHub?

The best I enjoy is the code storage online.It is engaging to be able to push code on the server and pull it on local machines. Afterwards, the platform capabilities are countless for continious integration and delivery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

I am hoping for more events from Github to see how the platform, the fares and the plans evolve on the coming horizons Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Through GitHub, you can generate or track bugs on the high tech software available on the market. You may use Github like a version control hosting to archives tags. Moreover, there are opportunities to perform continious Delivery and build automation through Git actions. Furthermore, Github sorts out team collaboration problems through pull requests and merge conflict management.

What do you like best about GitHub?

Good product features: git repositories, CI, packages, etc.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Custom support is terrible. They are very slow to reply, even if you are in a crisis. I'm at BRT and they put me someone at Sydney to help me, for god sake. It takes a day for someone to read what you sent.

Adding users when you're an enterprise client is a disaster: you need to send an email and wait for days to add new seats. You would think that an enterprise account would have things done faster, right? You're wrong.

Github reliability is beyond disaster, almost every month something is down (sometimes every week) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Github is a good platform for git hosting and CI. It also provides excellent security features out of the box Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

If you used git, probably you used github.

Used it for many years as the easy solution to have a distributed version control system.

Easy and free (at least for personal use)

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Pricing can be a bit expensive for big organizations working with private projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We host all our code repositories in github, super straight-forward.

Is very convenient to manage, you can define different teams, associate users to them, and assign different permissions for repositories at a team or user level.

We also have tried github actions, but can become expensive, we used CircleCI instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub?

First thing I like about it that it has reduced the load of files to manage and second thing it is collaborative and easy to use. As a student I like that Github provides so many options for students like the student package which is free , There are plenty of frequently users.

The best thing is the implementation is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Using GitHub as the primary platform for hosting code repositories may lead to vendor lock-in. Migrating code repositories to another platform can be time-consuming and challenging, especially if projects rely heavily on GitHub's features and integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

GitHub facilitates collaboration through features such as pull requests, code reviews, and issue tracking. Pull requests allowed me to propose changes to a repository and request that others review and merge those changes. Code reviews enable team members to provide feedback on proposed changes before they are merged into the main codebase. Issue tracking helps teams manage and prioritize tasks, bugs, and feature requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the open source community with its open source libraries and integrations help us innovate faster. Its easy to implement and use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

cant think of any negatives, its a complete yes yes for us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

helping us to maintain multiple repository- which is made very easier now, tracking of day-to-day activities of peers in git, day-to-day development activities including git pull and git merge, etc. Deploying with git pipelines to both lower and production environments is much faster and simple. Peer review processes with git is simplified for us overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
