"A Go-To Platform for Open Source Collaboration"
5/5
What do you like best about GitHub?

I like how familiar GitHub is to me. I've been using it for a really long time, so I find it easy to get around. I love the marketplace for actions because it's really rich and maintains that ethos of open source. I find the navigation to be relatively simple and easy to find the things I'm looking for. It's still the first choice on the market for working with open source, and it's really the best place to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowers Global Collaboration with Seamless CI/CD"
5/5
What do you like best about GitHub?

I like using GitHub because my company can host its projects and my team can contribute from different places. The ability to contribute and collaborate globally is great. I really appreciate the seamless integration of CI/CD for project deployment. The ease of use through terminal commands in my IDE stands out to me, as it allows for easy access and management of repositories and branches without having to depend on the user interface.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

The only thing I dislike about GitHub is that sometimes the interface can be a bit difficult to understand for new developers. I would love to see native monorepo support and AI-driven tools to help maintainers filter out low-quality contributions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GitHub as a Central Hub for Modern Development Workflow"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GitHub?

What I like most about GitHub is how it brings the entire development workflow together in one place. It’s more than just a code repository: it combines version control, code reviews via pull requests, issue tracking, and CI/CD through GitHub Actions. Having all of this in one platform makes collaboration smoother and more efficient, and it helps the team maintain consistently high code quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

The biggest downside is the learning curve for more advanced features, like GitHub Actions and more complex workflows, which can be tough for new team members to pick up. On top of that, managing large repositories can get difficult if you don’t have a clear structure and consistent conventions in place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best-in-Class Version Control with Pull Requests, Code Review, and Built-In CI/CD"
5/5
What do you like best about GitHub?

It's the best version control tool available in the market where we can see who changed what, when and why without any chaos. It supports collaboration via pull request, they allow code review, clean approval workflows. GitHub is the heart of open-source ecosystem. It allows CI/CD pipelines directly inside your repo, so you can run automatically, deploy apps, automate builds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Git is a little hard for beginners like confusing commands, easy to mess up branches, error messages are not really beginner friendly. Too many notifications like too many repo alerts making it hard to prioritize what actually matters. Reviews can take too long that slows fast moving teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
