Github helps understand the basics of git source control and also has a bunch of powerful integrated features and plugins. I like that you can integrate with heroku and have a live project synced. I like that you can host a simple page within a repo Cons I dont have many issues with github. I think that better tutorials in video format could help new developers learn the ropes faster Review Source Anu A. Web and Mobile App Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Breakthrough of Collaboration and Code sharing " January 3, 2019 5.0 Github is a great platform and I'm glad it came in our time. Definitely a god-sent application. Pros I had a life changing experience in first time of using github. With just 5 simple commands i could install and start using github for version control. With an upgrade you can have a private repository, enlist collaborators from around the world and build world class versioned applications. This application has a vast community of developers, hence i literally get exact codes needed for my applications. The windows gitbash app is simple and friendly app for querying git repos. Besides the technical features, having a reputation on this great application means having more referrals, dev world recognition and respect. Cons There's a quite steep learning curve when it comes to working with branching, it's easy for a beginner to get lost and loose projects progress.

The platform has easy access to documentation, guides, and articles related to Git. Pros Today every software company is using repositories, but most companies using GitHub in their tech-stack to manage small or large-scale projects by multiple developers. By using pro features you will get better insights for your project and the team is able to see progress with progress tracking features and its extremely valuable. Cons I didn't have issues with this platform but from the overall experience there were only about more security and easier tracking of branches after merging Review Source Jason C. Web Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Github is perfect for sharing (privately or public) and finding coding and snippets." February 6, 2022 5.0 Pros Github makes it very easy to share your code base, find bugs, manage releases, find snippets or complete projects. It is one of the most popular code sharing platforms on the web and contains thousands of helpful code snippets for any range of projects. Cons Github can be a little hard to get started with, but learning to use all features doesn't take long for anyone! Review Source CM Chippy M. Software Developer Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GitLab- Great tool for many reasons " September 14, 2022 5.0 Pros Allows to collaborate,manage code and review solution Issue management Cons Only ultimate plan has advance security and portfolio management Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GitHub is a pretty powerful industry standard, and benefits from tons of integrations" April 18, 2018 5.0 We love how well GitHub integrates with various 3rd party services we use, and we also make heavy use of GitHub's own internal integrations (Issues, for example). GitHub makes our source control a fairly seamless process. Pros GitHub's new pricing means we don't have to be stingy about throwing projects onto GitHub, and we make heavy use of various integrations (with other vendors like Rollbar and Heroku), which means that things just work seamlessly together. We've been happily using GitHub for years now. Cons Git has a relatively steep learning curve, but that's hardly GitHub's fault. GitHub has a few neat features that are useful but a bit buried (for example, comparing two arbitrary commits), but overall they leave you with little to complain about. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Events Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The unknown GitHub Myth" January 18, 2023 4.0 Pros You can find everything new or some idea that could help you go to the future.Functionality and new ideas are here! Cons No team optionsMore open source updatesLet’s go ahead Reason for choosing GitHub Only github Review Source NM Nicholas M. Owner Computer Games Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Can't live without anymore" February 2, 2024 4.0 Pros Plenty of storage for my projects and somewhat easy to retrieve past versions. Cons Constantly getting merge errors when trying to push a new update from projects in Unity, which then corrupts the project and I have to download the previous backup and redo my work. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Footprint " May 4, 2021 5.0 Github is a go-to tool for crafting other website and blogs and enables developers to collaborate with teams and manage code. Pros It has the best documentation around, collaboration for non-physical location is amazing, backup by providing a nice and simple way to have code and version history available. Cons cost some GitHub features on other online repositories are locked behind a SaaS paywall, not easy to understand for a first time user, Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Unity Developer Computer Games Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Extensive GIT client" April 11, 2022 4.0 Pros Github is easy to use, quick to setup and give you access to private repos (which isn't common among other git repository sites). Cons Github catches hiccups when PR is too big for it to be processed smoothly. Switched from [GitLab](https://www.capterra.com/p/159806/GitLab/) Repository size restrictions Review Source ZU Zeth U. Student Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Experience in using GitHub" January 18, 2022 5.0 We have created a website for all the students of Computer Studies in our School. And I am very amazed of what I learned from our professor in using this software. It is a user-friendly software. Of course I've been studying Information Technology for almost 4 years now. And I am fond in using software that are relevant when making projects. And I highly recommend it to all IT people or computer related courses. Pros What I like the most about this software is that in making repositories is much easier and a user-friendly experience for me. I and my classmates are fund of using Github for our professor practice us on utilizing this software enable for us to be familiar in using and be able to adopt the projects we made by utilizing this software and for us to use this in the long run. Cons For an amateur user things might get hard for them to understand some features of this software. And it is recommended for them to have at least a guide from a mentor on how to utilize this kind of software. Review Source Arnaldo C. Software Engineer Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The toolbox" August 30, 2019 5.0 I have repositories for: Proof of concepts projects, store notes and code for courses or classes Pros Is the tool with most acceptance along any developer team, in any organization, in any country. You can have a software developer that doesn't know a new technology or programming language. But, hi know what is GitHub and how to use it. It's a perfect place to store not only code, ideas, documentation... Cons It's very difficult some times to connect from git being behind proxys and enterprise firewall... but it's not GitHub fault.. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Backend Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Leading Platform for Software Development and Collaboration" January 31, 2023 4.0 Pros GitHub is one of the most widely adopted platforms for software development and has a large community of users and contributors - it simply is the place where you'll find most open source projects. It offers a range of collaboration features such as pull requests, code reviews, issue tracking, and project management, making it easy for teams to work together. Cons While GitHub includes quite advanced project management tools, they are not as feature complete compared to dedicated platforms like Shortcut. Review Source Konstantin S. Head of Information Security Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good code repository service" March 18, 2024 5.0 Pros Flexibility and user-friendly interface. Good security features like secrets manager and dependabot. Cons Dependabot sometimes is too noisy, and I found some false-negative issues that are very dangerous. Review Source Gerson C. Arquitectura, Diseño y Desarrollo de Aplicaciones Web Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "GitHub, one of the best repository tools." December 18, 2017 4.0 There are many benefits it offers, the ability to maintain order in your projects, keeping track of the changes made by each programmer, with the ability to rollback in case of an error, taking care of the main branch of the project, it is essential when handling large projects. Pros GitHub has brought great benefits to my company, with this application we can maintain great projects, where a large number of programmers are involved, organized, functional and with full record of each change that is made on it, a very useful tool in many aspects, totally necessary when we talk about big projects. Cons It is a very complete application but it has failures on occasion, such as: Very long load times, it presents failures on occasions that make the programmer lose time. The merge in occasions is not precise, should be reviewed with care since the application makes mistakes in this regard. The cost is a bit high. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Systems Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "End-end Automated CI/CD & Code collaboration" January 16, 2023 5.0 Pros Developers like me have very simple and effective tasks because of features like website hosting and project evaluation and contribution. Students and professionals alike can benefit from hosting a website for free on GitHub because it allows us to practice and learn more. Cons One of the features of github is version control, although a beginner finds it challenging to use. The process for merging earlier versions is not properly documented. Additionally, a recent security policy change that prohibits the usage of a password when pulling a repository confused new developers. Review Source AU Arslan U. CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GitHub a gold standard of source control" March 28, 2022 4.0 Pros The most likeable things about Github are Good documentation, Good availability of servers across the globe and github pages. Github pages allow to quickly setup a web documentation and examples for the public source code projects or your product APIs that makes it easier to communicate integrations and source codes easily. Cons One of the cones is security point of view. IT doesn't seem very much suitable for high value intellectual properties/ source codes. Although it has private repositories now but these are not quite enough. Another thing is price. If you have a large team; prices can quickly stackup. Review Source BW Bradley W. Architect Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "GitHub has high availability and is focused on superior infrastructure performance" June 14, 2023 5.0 A great user and customer experience backed by a very stable platform that performs well and exceeds my expectations. Pros GitHub has a great record for stability, availability and performance. Cons Sometimes getting the active java working on the company browsers can be a bit fiddly Review Source GS Gaurav S. student E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GitHub review report" January 31, 2022 5.0 Great Pros The latest github copilot makes this software very intresting for everyone specially for developers. I am a software engineering student and using this github copilot feature which helps me a lot in many project works and all. Cons Hosting pages and website through github is not understable and quite difficult. Review Source PA PHANEENDRA A. Senior software engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best repository hosting service on the market" August 24, 2018 5.0 Overall, github as a versioning control system, is definitely worth the effort, time and investment as it can give you much more flexibility and peace of mind for any project. I would recommend github to be useful for anyone who codes. Pros I work on linux and other open source projects; as far as I am aware most of the open source projects are hosted on github because its free and included nifty features like wikis, issue trackers. One of the feature that makes using github so popular is using simple text editor for writing formatted documents and also there is vast documentation to get help. Since github is more like showcase of code we wrote, it can be used as marketing tool and put in resume; it is better than linkedin profile in my opinion. Also code versioning, integration with cloud platforms and syntax highlight for language support is second to none. Cons There is bit of learning curve during my initial days of github, but past that its smooth. Even though the free model is sufficient to get started on github, the versioning and some advanced features cost and comparatively prices are high on github in my opinion. Review Source OD Osman D. Senior Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "github\_01" July 16, 2022 5.0 i use it for store my open source projects and i am exploring open source project that store on it. Pros Github is well known source control and version management application which is used git. Cons I think that it needs improvement about CI/CD tools and controlling. If it can't get this improvement, Gitlab surpass extremnly it. Switched from [SVN MultiSite Plus](https://www.capterra.com/p/78748/SVN-MultiSite-Plus/) It uses git to manage its functionalities Review Source Abhiram P. System Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Hub for engineers " July 19, 2022 5.0 Pros This is very useful when working under a team. So it supports agile way of working. Cons This is essential for every programmers to learn.Programmers without the knowledge of GitHub is difficult to start the career. Review Source VS Vishvjit S. Backend developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Who doesn't like Github" January 25, 2023 5.0 Overall it was the best experience and I also loved the Github copilot it made me more productive because it was analyzing my code and answering my answers according to my code it was easy to use GitHub and I will forever use it till the day I retire. Pros I like everything about Github, The most favorite thing is branches because I can independently work on my project after creating a specific branch from the main and do whatever I like with the code without fear because I know even if I push the code it will not automatically merge in a main branch without generating pull request, and its integration with Vs code is the best thing ever because I can push, pull and commit everything in VS code without going to my terminal and it's so easy to use Cons I don't dislike a thing about Github because there is nothing to dislike. Review Source Alex Danilo M. Software developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "GitHub your best choose!" May 28, 2019 5.0 Pros Github is a cloud-based hosting that uses git for code version manager, also brings several tools for deploys, creation of wikis and a issues control. Github is a handy resource if you need to develop a project with a team. Moreover, GitHub allows you to use unlimited private repositories. The security that GitHub and Git use the access credential based on the SSH key protocol. That means that all the data and process are reliable. Furthermore, You can use the Graphic tool-GitHub Desktop- where you can oversee all the status, changes, merges, and updates of your project with a friendly and handy interface. Cons On the early releases of GitHub Desktop tool, the configuration was a little bit annoying, and sometimes there was a latency on the data refresh process. But that minor problem was solved eventually on the new version of the app. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer COO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GitHub the hosting for your software" June 23, 2022 4.0 Pros We use GitHub to develop and save all of our software projects, especially website development. Its immediacy makes it a very useful and essential tool. Cons The tool is complex and very articulated, we do not exploit some features.
