### "Indispensable tool for software developers"

September 18, 2019

5.0

Since I started using Git in 2013. It has been one of the best things in my toolbox.

Pros

What I like most about Git is the easiness of merging code and branching code into different workflows. What's awesome about Git is also that it's Free and open source.

Cons

Git is superior to any other version control systems in my opinion. But if I need to think of any downsides to it, the only thing I can think of is its steep learning curve.

### "Why git is so great"

September 23, 2022

5.0

Pros

I think the version control is the most important and useful feature of git, as that is shat It’s original concept was.

Cons

Sometimes linking your accounts like GitHub or gitlab can be a bit aggravating but is pretty straight forward.

### "Git is an essential tool for all software developers"

January 9, 2020

5.0

Git keeps my code organized, available cross platform, and ensures i am able to learn from my mistakes :)

Pros

Version control is made easy through Git. - Easy to use on most all platforms - can track all sorts of files - free - integration with TONS of other services (e.g. github, heroku, etc)

Cons

the learning curve is where git struggles. I find the best way to learn is to start using it for an actual project. One can certainly learn through git tutorials, but reinforcing it through actual work is likely the best way to make sure you remember

### "A Lightweight Version Control System"

May 9, 2020

5.0

Version control is easily achieved through Git and it packs all features you need for effective version management. It has assisted me in keeping track of changes between versions, and is a great fallback when thing go wrong in code.

Pros

It's one of the more famous softwares for version control, so there are already many documentations and tutorials out in the internet on how to start using it, which is very useful as it is generally used via command line. Moreover, it is lightweight and packs all the features you'll need for version control, from merging conflicts to branching versions.

Cons

Because version control is done through command line, it is not really user friendly especially when it already comes to doing complex changes such as merging conflicts.

### "Git Review"

September 13, 2019

5.0

Pros

The ability to create branches locally and push to hosting platforms is simple and relatively easy. All the features that are part of the git flow are numerous and really help in debugging programs.

Cons

Every once in a while, I will get an uncommitted merge error and have to go through the vim process of resolving that, which can get tedious, especially when I was unaware of a merge attempt earlier.

### "Steep learning curve, but it's worth it"

September 29, 2020

4.0

Pros

Once you learn the basics it is really easy and convenient to use. With Git you are able to see when and which changes you made during the whole development process.

Cons

Learning the use Git well is really hard and takes a lot of experience. From solving conflicts to rolling back to previous commits the logic seems difficult to understand at first, but you get used to it. A GUI is often useful

### "Nice source control tool"

February 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

Ability to work on offline repos. Branches and Tags are cheaper compared to Subversion

Cons

Too slow sometimes to interact with remote repo such as BitBucket and Github

### "Git Review"

September 20, 2020

5.0

Nice tool. Should definitely be used, for managing code

Pros

Best tool for managing your code. Love the feature it has, commit, branching, Pull Requests etc. This tool has defined a standard of its own that every developer has to follow. Developer is incomplete if he does not know this tool.

Cons

Learning curve for new tools. Does not has a good UI tool to do most of the complex features that this supports.

### "Git:Review"

November 13, 2018

5.0

Pros

The ultimate, industry standard in version-control. Essential to any coding project, even if you are coding by yourself. You can use it from the command line or pick your favorite GUI. Integrates with most modern text editors.

Cons

Solving merge conflicts is never easy. This is not a mark against the software, just what I like the least about GIT.

### "Fast light weight tools to manage your projects Repo but really complicated to install"

May 22, 2019

4.0

I use Git to upload code from my Visual Studio Code editor

Pros

It's fast to commit and push changes in the projects, It's free and open source.

Cons

It's really hard to set up even with the GUI installation still makes it complicated, because there's a lot of features that user have to choose with little information about it.

### "#1 Version Control System"

February 27, 2021

5.0

An absolute lifesaver for someone like me who has a habit of accidentally removing things they shouldn't or commits code that wasn't actually tested.

Pros

It can do everything. Like really, track commits, rewriting history, cherry-picking commits, handling merge conflicts, binary searching for bugs. It's also easy to learn; start off with the basic commands and then just add to your toolbelt as you need more features.

Cons

The man page can be a bit confusing at times. Usually, I have to find what I want on StackOverflow instead.

### "One of the most used software in IT development "

July 19, 2021

5.0

Overall i like it co.oaringbto the legacy way of doing things in software development. A great tool for the agile environment

Pros

Ease of versioning History of changes Work independently using branches without interference

Cons

I feel merging and resolving merge conflicts is one thing that should be made more easy. Reminders to pull latest code for developers should be included because its always forgotten

### "The perfect way to collaborate in a huge project"

December 5, 2019

5.0

I use Git for all my dev project in my lab. We are 5 main devs and 20 other collaborators.

Pros

I love to use git to share some code with the members of my dev team. This is easy to use (with a bit of practice) and the best way to avoid any missing parts the code.

Cons

The merging system is complex and not intuitive. I wish one day this part can be improved to allow a better use in case of conflicts .

### "Best version controlling system for industry and also for educational purposes. "

July 20, 2019

5.0

I have been using git since the education time and now in the industry as well. It has almost all the features requires for my day to day needs and also for complex scenarios.

Pros

Automatic conflict resolution when different files have been edited by different users.

Cons

Most of the advance commands such as rebase, cherry-pick are hard to keep in mind and always need to go through the docs or google search help.

### "The golden standard for DevOps; yet some learning curve"

February 17, 2020

4.0

Git's initial learning curve can be overcome with suitable instruction. I don't mean reading reference documentation; I mean taking an actual class on Git, and there are many good ones out there. Given Git's market dominance, ignore it at your peril. More and more open source projects are standardizing on Git, and open source is the engine that will power the future. Once you figure it out, you'll see that Git gives you a high level of control over your development work.

Pros

Once you push past the initial complexity, Git is incredibly powerful. It has an incredibly robust product ecosystem, ranging from platforms like GitHub and GitLab to interfaces like Magit, that dwarfs anything else I've seen.

Cons

Git is somewhat infamous for having a bit of a learning curve. It took me a little while to wrap my head around it.

### "The foundation of repositories that every developer must know about"

January 3, 2019

5.0

Git is the main repo that we use for big clients

Pros

Git is the foundation that every developer must know when dealing with repositories nowadays. It's command line tools are very powerful, and the versatility of GIt is remarkable

Cons

Sometimes it has too many functions that you don't usually need, which makes the learning curve a bit steep.

### "Git is the best source control tool"

April 11, 2022

5.0

Pros

The ease of instantiating git in a project is really easy. It is actively maintained and free of cost to use

Cons

It does not come with built-in high-level operations for branching management. A separate extension like gitflow has to be integrated.

### "Featured yet complicated"

October 18, 2018

4.0

Brilliant source code management tool allowing to have multiple local branchs and lot of features makes it obvious choice. We use this as our source code management system.

Pros

Multiple local branching option gives you flexibility of doing multiple works simultaneously.

Cons

Features like rebasing are a bit tricky to use at times,. Login problem once the system password gets reset needs to be addressed.

### "Source control for large groups"

May 24, 2019

5.0

Pros

What can I say, it's Git. In the world of source control there's nothing better. I can't imagine using anything but Git for larger teams, it scales so well, always fast and reliable. Branching and merging are part of daily life and a breeze.

Cons

There is definitely a bit of a learning curve to use Git compared to simpler systems such as TFVC or VSS

### "Git it ... "

August 1, 2018

4.0

Pros

Git is the standard for archiving and publicly sharing code in repositories. Great contributor to open science.

Cons

So hard to use, so easy to have conflicts between what is on your desk and what is in the cloud. Helper products are not well integrated, so that one must do some stuff at the command line.

### "Popular and very robust version control"

October 4, 2023

5.0

Pros

Documentation and some basic project management capabilities on top of solid version control

Cons

There is a learning curve to managing the branching and commits, but Git being pretty much the industry standard it's worthwhile to learn well.

### "Best distributed version-control system"

March 17, 2020

5.0

I have been using Git for 8 years and I'm extremely happy with my experience.

Pros

Git is a daily-use tool for most of the developers nowadays. It's feature-rich, it's still getting frequent updates, and it's well-documented. Easy and fun to use.

Cons

Sometimes differences between versions are big and Git is lacking to bring backwards compatibility from time to time.

### "You just need it"

December 3, 2019

5.0

It's must have for every software developer and person from IT!

Pros

The best way of developing any software is doing it using Git. Nowadays, I cannot imagine even one single day without Git.

Cons

The worst thing about Git is how big it is and how hard it is to learn it properly. For day to day work you need just few commands but it's hard to do something more.

### "Makes my job easy"

January 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

This software has a easy commands for me to remember, easier than Linux in my opinion. It helps me during work so I can get my tasks done faster.

Cons

I believe the instruction manual could be updated with a cheat-sheet of shorthand commands and clear definitions.
