### "Best version control system"

July 17, 2019

5.0

Git helped is deliver products smoothly and without bugs. It made testing of separate features very easy by creating branch for each feature and then merging it when required.

Pros

Git is a revolutionary version control system. When it comes to VCS, git is the only choice. Its branching model is very good and makes team collaboration very easy and trackable.

Cons

Git can become complex for novice developers and create a mess of software sometimes since control of the entire repo is available to each developer.

### "The best source control you can find"

July 31, 2021

5.0

Me, like most developers, use Git for a long time since grad school and never stopped since. As an open source solution, it always has updates and fixes by the whole community. It makes my experience very comfortable and trustworthy.

Pros

Git is absolutely the best. It has all the features needed for a reliable and simple source control. Also, as an open source solution it is free.

Cons

I love Git, but it is a little hard to learn and the most complex features can be a little tricky, but awesome once you learn.

### "Git is a must have if you develop on windows!"

August 21, 2019

5.0

Pros

Git provides you a suite which you can use to push your code to repos like on GitHub and also allow you to use it as a terminal with unix-like commands. I would much prefer this over the normal terminal that comes with windows as I'm more used to unix commands than the windows alternative.

Cons

It doesn't give you the complete Unix experience. You would have to use apps that run side by side with the Window Subsystem for Linux in order to gain this.

### "Good for version control"

March 19, 2020

4.0

Pros

I have been using git for version control and repository management. It is really helpful when you are working in a project that has a lot of members. Access control enables to control the level of access to specific users, which is great. Working with teams across the globe becomes easier with git.

Cons

Git is very extensive and sometimes it's difficult to get on-boarded with. Resolving merge conflicts is not easy and it comes with practice.

### "Ultimate Version Control "

June 19, 2020

5.0

OVerall for all the usage, I feel it is a great tool to adopt for any developers.

Pros

Git has been widely known for years. With its recent acquisition by Microsoft and making it completely free, all the paid features are now free to access which makes this product even more attractive than its competitors.

Cons

When your repo gets too big or the number of developers working on the same project gets too big, managing such git account is very hard and not optimized.

### "I love Git"

July 20, 2019

5.0

Pros

Git is my favorite version control software hands down. it integrates with IDE making pushes and pulls very easy. I also love how easy it is to merge different versions of code into the main branch. Git supports and exclude file so you can specify which files you don't want to have git manage.

Cons

using a hosted version of git is very convenient, but trying to create your own installation of Git takes some work and manual reading.

### "Git is the best tool for Software Version Control"

June 9, 2021

4.0

My overall experience with Git is positive, and I will continue using Git for all of my software development projects which require collaboration and multiple users. I think that Git is the best in class product for collaboration among multiple developers.

Pros

I like how Git simplifies and enables the usage of software version control in a platform which is universal and is easy to use. Having worked with other more unnecessarily complicated SVN systems in the past, Git is a breath of fresh air which simplifies and facilitates developing projects with multiple developers.

Cons

What I like least about Git is that the graphical client is inferior to other methods of using the software. I have found that it is much easier to use Git through terminal commands or even through the web-based interface compared to the desktop graphical client.

### "One of the best tools to manage the versions of a digital product"

December 12, 2019

5.0

It is one of the best tools for managing development versions for software and bug management, change history and project evolution.

Pros

Very powerful tool to manage the different versions developed on a digital product in my case software, with it you can check all the changes made on the product, comment on the changes and track the changes made by the whole team so that you can always manage committed mistakes and always work with the updated work.

Cons

The learning curve is somewhat high for a first contact with the tool since it requires having knowledge in the use of the command terminal both CMD for windows and Linux Shell, also requires many tests to know how to work correctly in equipment or making changes on corrections or equal versions of different codes.

### "Totally necesary tool for version control"

December 10, 2019

5.0

A totally must for web development. This tool has simply change the life of million of developers and it is free to use

Pros

This is an imprescindible tool to have control of your code versions. This allow you to go back and forward to any point and collaborate with different people.

Cons

By itself it is a bit hard to use at the beggining without any additional software. I recommend to use some of the software from Atlassian to make it usage easier for begginers.

### "The standard version control system"

October 8, 2019

5.0

Essential. Don't consider any other version control system - Git is the industry standard. I use the command line for many operations and the GitHub Desktop app for many code-comparison tasks - but there are multiple ways you can use it to suit your workflow.

Pros

Git is very powerful and has a huge ecosystem of tools, software, documentation and a vibrant community of developers actively working on improving it. It can be a little daunting using it for the first time, but the wealth of high quality information makes learning it much easier.

Cons

it can be difficult to pick up, and as it's so powerful and complex some operations can be difficult to understand at first.

### "It's used by everyone"

December 5, 2019

5.0

If you're in the software industry you're definitely already using GIT. Even older projects are already migrated from SVN.

Pros

It's really easy to use and even if you're not a CLI fan it's integrated with most IDES so you're basically using GUI and hotkeys to work with it.

Cons

There are no cons, everyone is using GIT and that's it. I don't think anything will replace it anytime soon so get to know it since you're going to use it in every company.

March 13, 2022

4.0

Pros

Git is a powerful and free to use version control system. It seamlessly keeps track of changes and makes collaboration easy. Its features like git merge , git bisect and git rebase etc. are very helpful.

Cons

I don't think there is anything I dislike about git. It is free to use and does a great job.

### "A powerful tool for version control and code collaboration"

September 30, 2020

5.0

it has now become an industry standard. It keeps worries, like maintaining code in a repository or unknowingly overwriting others' code, away from developers. Developers feel more confident working with GIT as code repositories than any other repository tool.

Pros

Easy to use. Very convenient to switch from one branch to another. Easy to integrate it with BitBucket.

Cons

it does not offer project management features like bunding tickets under one epic or prioritizing tickets.

### "Overall a nice version control system"

September 17, 2018

5.0

Overall a good experience for tracking and managing projects that I've started myself.

Pros

1\. It's not always necessary to create a centralized repository 2. Relatively easy to clone and fork projects. 3. Lots of third party tools that help it's use such as TortoiseGit.

Cons

1\. Cannot commit empty directories. 2. Cannot have empty message commits. I understand they have best practices.. but they shouldn't enforce it on every situation

### "the SVC for pros"

September 23, 2018

5.0

very well thanks for make our life better as developers.

Pros

it's fast, easy to learn and has many features for the developers to keep their code organized and clean.

Cons

some concept like rebase and cherry-pick not has clear understand from the community due to lack of documentation on the real life scenarios for both of them, which make them like danger zone to touch them. hope to see much more examples on the doc about them.

### "Best version control software"

March 7, 2019

5.0

We are able to manage all our software using Git, from the Web, Mobile and our desktop applications

Pros

Easy to use when you understand it. Definitely the best version control software, I would highly recommend it when working with teams. It helps easily manage software versions and enhances collaboration.

Cons

It is pretty difficult to understand how to use Git initially. It does require a few more practices in order to get a hand of it.

### "Git is the best version control"

February 18, 2021

5.0

Git is a must have for version control. Combined with a graphic interface, it's excellent and easy to use.

Pros

It is so simple to get going with Git. You can use the command line, or get a dedicated graphical interface. Most text editors and IDEs even have built in Git support.

Cons

If you're new to Git and version control systems, it might take a minute to get used to. The command line interface does leave a lot to be desired as well.

### "steep learning curve"

July 1, 2019

5.0

Git has been an invaluable tool for me as a coder. I now never have to worry about losing changes or making mistakes without being able to go back to previous version.

Pros

I love how compatible and built-in git is to the Linux community. It makes everything super easy to control and watch for mistakes. I use it for all of my projects even if they are not related to coding.

Cons

Steep learning curve for those who are new to version control software.

### "Best Source Control Available"

September 6, 2018

5.0

The company I work for switched to Git 2 years ago and haven't looked back since. It has streamlined all our code, projects, and deployments.

Pros

Git makes source code control a breeze! With a little learning curve, git can be picked up very quickly and make team projects a breeze.

Cons

Some of the commands for git are inconsistent, making them harder to remember. A quick web search will usually find you the right answer very quickly though.

### "The best way to work with version control"

August 1, 2018

5.0

Version controlling, fast code pushing and checking.

Pros

Great version control, large documentation online and the fact that many developers use this it makes it easy to find solutions to any problems you may find. It is quite fast at checking out or committing changes.

Cons

It has a bit of a learning curve at the beginning to learn all the commands, specially if you are using the console and not some GUI to manage it.

### "Git everyday all day"

December 30, 2019

5.0

I use Git everyday and all day so highly recommend it for all development lifecycles

Pros

\- Change Tracking - Git flow for different development workflows - Comments on committ to see what the changes were - Git Version for version control - Warnings when there is code conflicts to prevent issues down stream

Cons

Git is simple to use and delivers all our needs plus some - no cons or nothing that I dont like about this software.

### "The Software Versioning Standard"

December 3, 2019

4.0

My experiences so far have been kind of neutral. Sometimes it's the right tool for me, sometimes it's not. But you should try it. It's free to use, and your mileage may vary.

Pros

I think at this point, Git is really the industry standard for command-line software versioning. It's free to use and for small projects, you can get things up and running pretty quickly. There is value when you have many people working on the same project at the same time.

Cons

The command line is not that way to use and when things go wrong in terms of merging together conflicts, it can be a little laborious. I will weigh carefully whether i think it's worth using GIT or sticking to more traditional (less efficient in terms of duplicate files, but simpler) versioning solutions. It can definitely be hard for the beginner to get up to speed with.

### "Can't imagine my developer life without git"

October 31, 2019

5.0

Main tool for versioning our code, helps managing continuous integration and deployments.

Pros

Now I can't imagine how I could develop anything without version control. It's one of the most essential tools that a developer can have. It's really robust and if something does not work, you're probably doing it wrong.

Cons

Simple tasks are easy, but advanced merging, rebasing etc., can be a bit overwhelming for new developers.
