Freelance Translation and Localization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the best software for version management" September 24, 2022 5.0 Great product to collaborate with colleagues on critical issues and tasks. Would definitely recommend! Pros It is the best software for the purposes it was created for. Easy to use once you learn its potential. Multiple features for interesting task. Cons I don't particularly like the fact that by default developers can overwrite the history Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Consultant / Systems Architect Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The original (and still the best, or at least close to it) Git implementation out there!" June 7, 2018 5.0 Version control for a cheap price! Pros GitHub is very reasonably priced per user and doesn't limit the number of private repositories. As a small business but with many clients, this has allowed us to create a great number of repositories for projects across all of our clients. Even if you're just playing around with something, you can add it to GitHub without having to worry about additional costs or limits. Plus you can tie your personal account to a Team account and not have to remember multiple logins! Cons There is a steep learning curve to Git (the platform behind GitHub), but once you get used to it, it's actually quite nice. I do wish they had some better visualization of what's going on inside the repository to track commits/PRs/merges/etc. That would definitely make it easier for novices to understand. Also I wish that Gists could be handled a little differently in terms of access. Review Source FA Fidelis A. Web Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GitHub concise review 2022" January 14, 2022 5.0 My overall experience is great. imaging storing your app source code without GitHub. It is my best code repository so far. Pros GitHub software or website is a one-stop for me when it comes to code management and version control. GitHub helps me and our team to store and manage our project ( APP) source code as long as we want. We can easily update our app without issues to different versions. I also use GitHub when integrated with amazon web services to deploy my app and is easy to update my app with git push features. It is very cheap and has both private and public repositories for teams. Cons For me, GitHub is very good and verse. I only want them to design their desktop app in such a way that new users will understand and operate it with less supervision. Review Source TE Tomer E. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent product" November 15, 2022 4.0 Pros Easy migration to many useful utilities, many rich functionalities, manageable access Cons Mainly the ui which sometimes could be problematic to locate certain features Review Source ARG Ana Rafaela G. System Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Usefull all in one code management tool" September 12, 2023 5.0 GitHub has played a pivotal role in my professional growth by facilitating seamless collaboration with diverse teams worldwide. Additionally, it has provided me with the ability to effortlessly integrate AWS tools like AWS Amplify, Fargate, and other services for deploying applications tailored to my specific requirements. Pros \- Fast-growing user experience features- Easy to integrate into any size of team- Well-designed for different levels of users- Lots of integrations as user's needs - In line code review is very usefull Cons \- Git hub action documentation is complex and not clear at all- CI/CD tools learning curve is high Review Source Tiffany Y. Financial Operations Analyst II Computer Hardware Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Github review from daily user" April 15, 2022 5.0 This product is super useful and it serves as an indispensable tool for product development. Pros Github is free for the community but also available for enterprises. It has all the necessary tools you need to develop an application smoothly. Cons The number of new features rolling out is very limited in the long product history. Alternatives considered [Bitbucket](https://www.capterra.com/p/233341/Bitbucket/) Reason for choosing GitHub Better integration to my current platform Review Source Clarwin C. IT Services Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Programmers Rejoice! This is the best repo for our coding" April 2, 2018 5.0 Coders Rejoice! GitHub makes coding (either individually or in teams) easy and secure. Versioning works great! It works like a time machine where you can easily go back and forth through time and versions of your work. Branching out your code works well for Open Source projects for parallel or collaborative work. Integrations to IDEs like Atom, to cloud platforms (Amazon, Google) are flawless. Pros Back in College we did not have this tool, and now that I'm working in an enterprise how I wish this app was already available before. GitHub makes coding (either individually or working in groups) easy and secure. Devs can easily commit, branch, and tag on one's local machine without interacting directly to the server. Collaboration is made easy. We can agree or disagree on code and just branch out as necessary. Version tracking helps a lot as a time machine to revert or just review one's work. There are many integrations that we use as well e.g., to Atom (IDE), Amazon and even Google Cloud. Cons To some people, the format of GitHub might seem intimidating at first and just works for programmers (e.g., not for a non-techy layman). So definitely, there's some learning curve to be expected. But once you get past that initial training, it's definitely the next best thing that will hapen to your coding career! Review Source GS Grant S. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Github from a Designer and Product Managers Perspective" January 10, 2018 5.0 Pros As a designer and product manager I mostly use Github to document software and manage projects. I love using the Wiki to document what needs to be built. Being able to use hyperlinks makes organizing my thoughts easy, and allows readers to get as many details that they need. I also use it to break projects down into tickets and communicate what needs to be built with my dev team. Project Boards are my favorite way to visualize tickets, and make it easy to see what needs to be done, what is in progress, needs to be tested, and approved for production. Cons I wish the workflow for creating tickets was more streamlined. I often create tickets directly from Boards, but this requires you to create a note and then convert it to a ticket. Also, when you convert a note to a ticket it gives you a pop-up modal that allows you to provide more information, but the modal doesn't have all the features that the new ticket page has. So typically I create a note, convert it to a ticket, and the click on the new ticket on the board to provide additional documentation and add the proper tags. This needs to be streamlined. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "GitHub:A Tool For Project Management and saving your work" May 7, 2023 4.0 Pros The best thing i like about GitHub is that you can save one part of code twice and make changes and save each stage of the work of the projectYou can also stash changes clone a whole project within seconds and many other things Cons The thing i found problematic was that GitHub is very complex and you as a begineer have to learn how to use itAlso the pricing is quite high and the enviroment of GitHub can be scary to newbies Review Source Eduardo A. Game Programmer Computer Games Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Number 1 version control" October 29, 2019 5.0 Is simply the best way of working with teams, everyone can work on their own tasks at the same time and then just put everything together. Pros You can manage wathever git feature here, in a simpler way, most of the times with UI direction and not only command lines; this saves a lot of time to control the work you do with it. Cons There has been a few times where the commits have caused issues when fetching from other places; this is different to conflicts, it just simply doesn't show any troubles but when you do a pull request and download what is up, the code is completely messed up (the same way as when you have conflicts, but without the warnings). This is a pain when it happens. Review Source shaik A. Associate Software Engineer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the best place to interchange the code and work effectively without any service delivery" March 8, 2018 5.0 Pros The best part of this software is we can exchange the large voice of the across the team members in almost all organisations we see maximum people using this even though there is SVN, other repository providing tools. This holds its importance in handling the code very secure robust. GitHub has various additional features like code commit and review and a place to comment the notes and an option to download the artifacts/builds. This tool made the business serve efficiently reducing the human intervention(or) involvement Cons There is nothing much about the cons since everything seems well as per software requirements. The UI part need much more enhancements like additional filtering options and unnecessary options to hide Review Source SM Senamela M. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Can't wait to push my code to Github" November 17, 2022 5.0 Github gives me peace of mind, when it comes to Source Control, there's nowhere else I'd rather be. Pros I'm enjoying Co-Pilot and the general experience on Github. I like the new Pipeline recommendations, like protecting the main branch, very intuitive. Cons There's not much to fault, Github is a well built product. Alternatives considered [GitLab](https://www.capterra.com/p/159806/GitLab/)[Bitbucket](https://www.capterra.com/p/233341/Bitbucket/) Reason for choosing GitHub Github Co-Pilot, Codespaces and a great community. Review Source DG Deepak G. Software developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "guthub review " December 15, 2021 5.0 Awesome experience. Thanks git hub for being there!! Pros \- best tool for source code management - easy integration with third party tools via webhooks for example jenkins - Code review made very easy - Sinple UI and easy to understand - Easily accessible and new features make it easier to adpot Cons \- Integration with spinnaker tool has been a difficult process - Rebasing code can be made easier Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Web Developer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "the best code repository" March 12, 2018 5.0 Pros itHub is a git repository which provides public along with private git repositories. The private repositories are paid but the public repositories are free of cost however private repositories are not that expensive. There are many nifty features of GitHub like it has one of the best documentation among its peers, having public repositories enables developers and programmer community to communicate in your work and its has one of the best hosting services to host and run the project. Cons GitHub leans towards coders and programmers hence it cannot be understood by laymen. Hence there is a bit of learning curve expected. Also it should ease the operating of Git client for desktop. Rest all the features of GitHub are nifty. Review Source FC Filipe C. Development Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great git service." October 15, 2021 5.0 I started using GitHub in college and I continue using it in the company I currently work for. Pros GitHub is very easy for beginners, as it provides tutorials. It's my favorite git service for code versioning, in addition to being a widely used social network for sharing code. Cons For my purposes, the software satisfies completely. Review Source GS Gaurav S. Full Stack Web Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Empowering Collaboration and Version Control of Codes " April 28, 2023 5.0 GitHub provides powerful version control tools that allow developers to track changes made to their code over time. This makes it easy to revert to a previous version of code or to see who made specific changes and developers can easily find and contribute to open-source projects, and organizations can release their own open-source projects for others to use and contribute to. Pros GitHub provides a centralized platform for teams to work together on projects. Users can easily collaborate with each other, share code, and contribute to each other's work. Cons GitHub's public repositories are visible to anyone on the internet, which means that code can be easily copied and used by others without permission. However, GitHub provides options for users to make their repositories private, which requires a subscription. Review Source ST Sophia T. Software Development Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The essential tool that every developer should know how to use." August 28, 2019 5.0 It is an essential tool today, many companies have full repositories in github, my experience over the years has gone from best to best, as they constantly update the platform and are adding new functions and features, even now. You can try to get financing for your personal projects or open source. Pros It is the most used code repository, what I like most is that it allows me to share open source projects and be able to participate in other projects, which promotes fellowship among colleagues, is an essential tool for organizing large projects. It is very easy to handle branches, push, pull, merge, version management, backup, etc. It is extremely versatile, everything is also hosted in the cloud, so it can be accessed from any platform through the web browser, and access it. completely, another thing that I really like is the possibility of having a totally free personal repository. Cons This platform has improved a lot over the years, currently I find it difficult to find negative aspects, however, i could say that one aspect to consider when using github is that it is necessary to learn to manage the git command line, this can turn the learning curve somewhat steep. Review Source AB Ashok B. Digital Marketer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best version control tool." May 22, 2022 5.0 Pros The best thing is about github is the feature where you can check all the previous commits by developes/devops team. You can easily track the changes in the source code in the repository and it is actually very easy to understand and navigate which even a beginner can understand. Cons I cannot think of anything bad about this. It has made project management very easy and smooth. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Project Manager/Front End Developer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GitHub essential for code collaboration" September 14, 2021 5.0 GitHub is an essential tool for our organization. Without it, app and website code collaboration would be a terrible mess! Pros We use GitHub for code reviews daily. The interface and template set up lets us design our pull requests to meet our needs. GitHub organizes our branches well and let's us view a history of code revisions. Cons Using GitHub desktop makes using some GitHub features easier. Learning Git commands in Terminal can be daunting for some users. Review Source Rahul N. Software developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best space for developers" February 23, 2023 5.0 Overall I had the best experience with github and still using it for development process which makes it easy. Pros The best part about the github is that if allows us to track the version and and work on a projectbin collaboration where we can view edit and solve the errors by sending pull requests. Cons Overall github provides all the functionality for the development but it does not provide any testing tools which would have helped even more. Review Source GB Gilmar B. product designer E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "gilmar review of github" June 14, 2020 5.0 overall my experience has been great. in fact i have met a few other like minded people on github. its great place to learn a bit of everything in software devlopment. Pros I like GitHub software because I can push my source code of my app directly to my android studio. and from the android studio back to the GitHub, so that if am working on mobile with other developers we can all share and be updated in a unified form Cons it's not free, you need to learn the program before you jump to private handling of codes. It takes a little bit of getting used to but after that it's fine. git hub desktop is also not so easy to learn but once you do you be sharing and updating directly from your studio machine. instead of going from GitHub site to software and back again. Alternatives considered [Amazon S3](https://www.capterra.com/p/174285/Amazon-S3/) Reason for choosing GitHub allot more freelancers were on there. who I worked with directly. so it was easy for me to get involved and it was important to too as i work along with deadlines. Review Source KC Kristjon C. Postdoctoral Fellow Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Experience with GitHub: Secure, User-Friendly, and Supportive" April 15, 2023 4.0 Pros GitHub is great because it's secure, easy to use, and has a huge community. I like that it keeps my code safe and is not complicated to work with. It's also nice that I can find help from other users whenever I need it. Overall, it's been a helpful and positive experience for me. Cons If there's one thing I didn't like about GitHub, it would be their privacy policies. While they have made strides to improve in recent years, I still have some concerns about how they collect, use, and share user data. Though it hasn't affected my experience on the platform, it's something that I am wary of and hope they will continue to address. Review Source SF Saber F.

So they can make some mistakes while coding. But because of the GitHub, that matter solved. Pros The best thing I liked it's an opensource platform. Actually it's easy to use anyone. No matter your coading skills. Cons I didn't meet any issue or unsatisfine thing in Git Hub yet. Hope that never meet anything like that.
