Software Engineer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best and Trusted Name for Source Code Mangement" June 26, 2018 5.0 I hosted some of my opensource project on GitHub. Pros GitHub is a great place for hosting project repositories and contributing to open source projects. Ideal place for opensource project as it is widely used by developers and organisations for hosting there public and private repositories. Features like pull request code review and protected branches are one of the best features that help me to visually understand the code submitted by other and help me decide whether it is worth merging or not. Built in git-diff viewer is another one of the feature that help me visualise the code with different code based colour schemes. Almost 99.99% up-time is another plus point that ensure the repositories would be available for the contributors to pull and push anytime they want. Cons My main dislike for GitHub is its high cost private repositories. When it comes to Freelancers developers such type of expenses plays important role in their overall expenditure.

Would recommend others do the same. Pros The UX/UI is clean, and our developers all came in with prior GitHub experience. It’s a straightforward service that works better than other options (we switched from BitBucket). Cons The pricing is competitive but slightly higher than Bitbucket at the low end of team size, which is an inconvenience. Switched from [Bitbucket](https://www.capterra.com/p/233341/Bitbucket/) Our developers protested Bitbucket until we switched to GitHub. I believe it was a combination of prior experience and general usability.
