What do you like best about GitHub?

Using GitHub is simple and he­lpful. The system organizes code­ projects and allows coders to cooperate­. I can view changes, share ide­as, and combine work easily.

GitHub tackle­s collaborative coding well. Multiple programme­rs can edit the same file­s simultaneously without problems.

What do you like best about GitHub?

Remembering the times when I started with any kind of version control, it being SVN, and the first GitHub GUI I used maybe 15 years ago, GitHub still does its job well and is simple to use. A lot has cahnged and at the same time not, I still get all version control done with GitHub mostly on the command line. That is to say, that once you know the basics of Git, you will never have to learn new tricks. I like that GitHub is mostly free, and it integrates well with all kinds of other systems. I like the fact that GitHub hosts most of the open soure software, I don't think finding the packages or libaries would be that easy if there was no GitHub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

The Web UI is not the most intuitive sometimes. It always takes me multiple clicks through the app to renew expired tokens, and I'm never quite sure how I found it in the first place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's possible to store and collaborate on code through GitHub without having to get any other tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
