"github review"

Discovering interesting new projects or people can be harder than it should be, as the explore features aren't its strongest point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Link towards code"
What do you like best about GitHub?

It has a nice, clear web interface to compare what was changed in a set of files, add comments and improvement suggestions and manage a code change in a team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

It is based on Git which I don’t like as much; it is over complicated for anything I need. But GitHub is a really nice tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Indispensable Platform for Modern Software Development"
What do you like best about GitHub?

GitHub provides an exceptional platform for collaboration, version control, and CI/CD integration. Its clean UI, powerful integrations (especially with GitHub Actions), and support for both individual and team workflows make it a core part of our development process. Features like pull requests with code reviews, branch protection rules, and Discussions make team collaboration efficient and transparent. The recent improvements in Copilot and Codespaces show a strong push toward developer productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

The learning curve for advanced workflows (like Actions or monorepo management) can be a bit steep for newcomers. Occasionally, performance lags during high-traffic times or when viewing large diffs. Also, private repo pricing can get expensive at scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I couldn't work without it"
What do you like best about GitHub?

What I like most about GitHub is the control it gives me over my projects. I can do everything from traveling back in time to review old commits, to harnessing the full power of GitHub Actions for my projects' CI processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Currently, I don't have any concerns about it. The only comment might be paying for certain services I enjoy, such as the AI-powered PR summarization feature, but that's reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GitHub Review"
What do you like best about GitHub?

I like GitHub because it makes collaboration easy, keeps version history safe, and integrates well with other tools for development. I am using it daily bases for storing ans securing my code. Its easy to implement not much complex. Me and my team is doing push and pull the code daily so team management is easy also work management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Sometimes GitHub is a little slow and confusing, especially when working with big projects. Handling merge conflicts is also not very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best-in-Class Git Workflow"
What do you like best about GitHub?

Pull request reviews are where GitHub shines for our QA team. I can comment directly on test files when I spot flaky assertions or missing edge cases. Actions runs our Android tests automatically on every PR - no more "works on my machine" excuses. The branch protection rules ensure no one merges without passing tests. Issue tracking links perfectly with our test failures, making bug reproduction straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Actions sometimes queues forever during peak hours. The mobile app is pretty useless for reviewing code changes. Large test report files hit the size limit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Github - A one stop repository to store and share codes"
What do you like best about GitHub?

Github is extremely user-friendly, making it simple to push code and host websites. For those unfamiliar with Git commands, it offers the convenient option to drag and drop or upload files, which sets it apart from many other software platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

When it comes to hosting webpages created with React, this service does not support them. As a result, I have to look for alternatives such as Netlify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Assessment of Our Open-Source Software on GitHub"
What do you like best about GitHub?

One of the best things I like about GitHub is how seamlessly it brings collaboration into our coding. Whether we're working with a small team or contributing to a massive open-source project, everything is organized, trackable, and transparent. The version control using Git makes it easy to manage changes without fear of losing progress, and features like pull requests and issues keep communications more productive.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

a bit tacky for newcomers, some more new features not always responsive, also for private projects or small teams some features locked in paid tier which limits usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
