GitHub Reviews

It's free and very easy to use; Plus it's supported practically everywhere.

None I've identified. Pleasantly surprised Microsoft didn't ruin it after acquiring it.

GitHub is a powerful version control system. We can easily collaborate and can revert previous version if necessary.

GitHub have learning curve for beginners who are unfamiliar with version control system.

We can store our software projects. We can access the code files of other developers.

We cant create our code files private. Some features are for money.

It's been such a great help to our team with PR management, setting up workflows, and if you need to revert a PR, that's also a seamless process.

Emails can be redundant when changes are made to a PR, but that's not really a fault of GH.

Being able to share codes and track the changes made by different people. Able to revert back to historical files.

Recently GitHub enforce two factor authentication on every account which is painful

It's branching feature is particularly useful, as it allows developers to work on features or bug fixes in isolation, then merge them back into the main project without disrupting the workflow.

Me being a beginner first, its user interface, which, while functional, can sometimes feel cluttered.

It's a great way for me to track how bugs and features are moving through the engineering pipeline

I find it incredibly difficult to search and duplicate tickets are easily created.

Easy collaboration and built-in organization for code and projects in general.

Actions are confusing to set up and I think there's a lot of potential to level up how a project is managed.

Github offers great featutes in helping me and our team manage the shared codebase.

Github Actions does not offer as many features as other CI/CD tools.

I love the wide array of features and the usage simplicity. Everything works well and meets pretty much all of our needs as a team. GitHub is very dependable and does a great job at constantly improving and responding to feedback.

CI/CD is a bit of a rabbit hole that I wish the barrier to entry was a little lower on, but all the right tools are there if you spend the time to learn them.

That is a project that everybody gets free stuff and code and everybody gets to appport and create content for good unlike other companies like Microsoft and Google that are private and not trustable in a way

is kind of hard at first because is under development but now you can say at least, the least that will grow and for everybody but is that is far away from paid software and not together! we all need to work and sometimes is hard to achieve fast and easy without workers and timing like companies do.

Honestly, GitHub has been one of my greatest motivations as a software engineer for a number of reasons such as its remote repository feature which allows multiple developers to easily collaborate and work on the same project to achieve great results.

Though GitHub offers free repositories of public project, some of the advanced features are paid.

It is very easy to collaborate and work on code changes, publish releases, and run automation scripts. The UI is fast and they are improving it constantly making it quick and efficient to navigate to the repository and even the file you want.

My biggest gripe about GitHub is the billing. You have to buy a fixed number of seats and you can only increment it in 10s. So, even if you need just one extra user, you still have to pay for 10. It also takes a long time (2-3 days, more in some cases) to get the licenses added. I can't even process why this is the case. I would much rather have preferred usage billing.

In my opinion, GitHub stands out as a top-notch platform with an intuitive user interface that makes navigation a breeze. The robust security measures instill confidence, and the extensive integrations covering source code management, issue tracking, and project management enhance its versatility. I appreciate the platform's speed, user-friendly experience, and efficient project management features like Kanban cards. GitHub's version control capabilities allow for seamless tracking and reverting of code changes. Collaborating on files or code is made easy, and the organization feature adds a layer of control with access management and team coordination. The GitHub Desktop's visual interface simplifies less-common Git commands, and GitHub Actions for continuous integration has been a game-changer in my development workflows. The insightful visualizations, including the network graph, provide valuable historical project insights. Overall, GitHub has become my go-to platform for its comprehensive suite of features, making software development and collaboration a smooth and rewarding experience.

In my opinion, managing large-sized files is hectic. Leading to efficiency issues.

Collaboration that is easy, version control that is clear, and Continuous Integration that works without a hitch. The way GitHub is designed encourages new ideas and makes managing code easy and reliable.

Complex UI for complete beginners, occasional slow performance. Documentation updates could be more intuitive. Limited private repositories for free users.

GitHub saved my business model. At the beginning of my journey in e-commerce I didn't have much experience in software development and I didn't have the money to pay for a professioanl dev to help me out.
Github did it for me. It comes at a fair price and offers a community that can help you with improving your software, and more than everything, debugging it.
It has monthly plans that cost a bit more than a Happy Meal and offer everything you need and more.

No cons for this software, it saved my business when I was struggling.

I like how I could literally just get anything that is open source.

I think more instructions would have been nicer, I was deploying a website on the github.io and the thing is their instructions are so brief it is un-understandable, and you would need someone to explain it to you, and I hope for in the future to have the ability to deploy dynamic things on github.io because I use react and I can't deploy that project there.

GitHub is an excellent tool to keep track of all the several versions in Dev Management.
A user needs to get familiar with the commands, but after that familiarity, it is a easy to use and easy to deploy tool.
And it assists you in version management on a simple way, when compared to the enormous hard work we had (before GIT tools) to keep track of "who" and "what" was change during a complex development of several team developers.

The need for new developers (in the GIT features) to get familiar with the commands procedures.
