January 25, 2025

GitHub has revolutionized the way I handle projects. Its tools for managing repositories, collaborating with teams, and automating workflows have significantly boosted my efficiency. The platform is reliable and constantly improving, making it my go-to for all coding projects.

### "Best Version Control System"

November 14, 2024

5.0

Pros

It’s the most basic choice for a reason. Great, free in most cases, and provides great customization. I love github, I use it everyday, and I would recommend it over bitbucket, gitlab, etc. It provides a whole new experience. Almost like a social media VCS.

Cons

Honestly I don’t have any complaints to share. Github is just my favorite.

Alternatives considered

[GitLab](https://www.capterra.com/p/159806/GitLab/)[Bitbucket](https://www.capterra.com/p/233341/Bitbucket/)

Reason for choosing GitHub

It was free! I also love the pages feature for documentation.

Switched from

[GitLab](https://www.capterra.com/p/159806/GitLab/)

I wanted a free alternative for personal projects. In my personal opinion it’s also possible to have a github and not have a gitlab, but it is not possible to spin that statement around!

### "Great for building apps and SDK's"

April 14, 2025

4.0

Overall it's a great tool which allows for collaboration with different teams and clients and keeps everyone up to date on progress.

Pros

Able to stay up to date on development work for our App SDK's. Clients can share their feedback and report bugs directly (which we then push to Jira).

Cons

There is a lot of content in the repo and it can look daunting if you're not that informed and be difficult to find the information that you need to send to clients.

### "A no-brainer for Source Code Control"

November 25, 2024

5.0

Pros

Copilot is amazing. Github makes repository access and version control very easy. Also love how many addons and integrations are available. PR reviews is also easier with split views. Search is also the best. It also goes through the code and often finds references and definitions of a function.

Cons

Sometimes the PR review view is tricky and bubbles up under a wrong name making it tougher to make sense of where the code is written if it's a large file.

### "GitHub is the Best"

May 26, 2025

5.0

Use GitHub to host and version code projects. Super powerful for solo devs and teams alike, though not the easiest for beginners.

Pros

Great version control with Git, clean UI, and solid collab features like pull requests and issues. GitHub Actions is a big plus for automating workflows.

Cons

Git can be tricky to learn at first, especially with branching. Some advanced features like detailed permission settings are locked behind paid plans.

### "Git-Hub helps you improve"

October 18, 2024

5.0

My experience with Git-hub is very awesome, it helped me maintain my project and also help me improve my portfolio. Even in many hackathons it helped me by providing specific codes.

Pros

Git hub provides you a platform to maintain your portfolio and your project all together. It also help in improving your CV for searching for jobs. It helps you track your project involvement record. We can also use other persons project codes to help our projects.

Cons

Many a times private project are meant to be shared, and we cannot even ask to pull the code.

### "GitHub for Learn"

April 10, 2025

5.0

Very Good for learning and asking what I want to know

Pros

GitHub utilizes Git, a distributed version control system, which allows developers to track changes to their code over time.

### "GitHub is a good technology hub."

September 3, 2025

5.0

Overall, it's nice to use GitHub especially in a team based environment. I'm currently using GitHub to collaborate with my current team members more efficiently.

Pros

It's very easy to setup a GitHub account. It has a nice feature where people can see how much I been updating for my projects which will look good for employers.

Cons

This is very much a programming based website, so some people might not have a use for this kind of website if they're not in a technology based field.

### "GitHub: What you need, you can have."

April 29, 2025

4.0

It's been great. I still have a lot to learn about it, but in my opinion, it's a perfectly designed platform.

Pros

It has vast and diverse features. It's user-centric as it is effectively designed to help collaborative work, and sharing.

Cons

I’m at a loss for ideas at the moment. But if I had to say something, it could be a bit more customizable given the fact Software Developers and Data Scientist use it daily.

December 4, 2024

5.0

I've used Github across many different job roles, each time GitHub has provided the perfect platform for ensuring code versioning, publishing and management in an easy and effective way.

Pros

Github is a feature rich platform offering everything needed for product development lifecycle as well as publishing builds out to third party services.

Cons

I don't think there is anything really I dislike, I would say that GitHub Actions could be a bit simpler to setup, but other than that, nothing.

Reason for choosing GitHub

Better cohesion with VSCode and other services that we intended on using, such as Azure for auto publishing webapps.
