### "No better version control"

January 4, 2024

5.0

It disappears into the background of my workflows, and comes in clutch in a pinch - it hasn't failed me yet.

Pros

GitHub, the GitHub API in particular has been very useful in managing our codebases and automating deployments.

Cons

Merge conflicts, I don't know how fixing merge conflicts could be made more painless but if it is possible that would be awesome.

### "Git is a greet tool"

June 16, 2022

5.0

Great one !

Pros

I love using git .. I can manage my project easily .. compare between versions .. create a new branch for a new feature to test it first and merge it later .. It's really a helpful tool

Cons

there are some commands you must be aware of them not to break something on the code

### "The Defacto Source Control System"

March 18, 2020

5.0

Overall I will continue to use git daily, as long as I can imagine.

Pros

I've used this for many years now and there's no reason to consider another source control software. This has every feature that a software development team could need and there's a reason it's industry standard.

Cons

There is absolutely a learning curve that comes with using git, but there are many git managers that can make the curve easier.

### "Git makes project management easier!"

September 1, 2019

5.0

I learned Git to make project management easier. I use it to manage several websites for my business, in addition to project revisions. Although there was an initial learning curve, I was able to learn Git within a few hours of study and practice, and now it's an invaluable tool.

Pros

Git makes version control on projects much easier than the older "copy/paste/save-as" method that we're probably all used to. Creating a back-up is as simple as typing 2 command lines. And it's also nice that revision documentation is built-in to the process; even as a single worker on a project, it's very useful having a log of what I've done, so I can know what needs to be done next. And I also how easy it is to push and pull projects from online repositories like Github.

Cons

While I enjoy the GIT BASH shell, I did not like the included GIT GUI. Being an inherently command line based tool, GIT is best experienced directly, so I felt that the GUI only slowed me down. It may be fine for some users who are uncomfortable with command lines, however I'd recommend that they take the time to get comfortable instead.

### "GIT uses"

September 19, 2018

5.0

I am using GIT from my last three organizations. It is very efficient if multiple engineers are working on the same projects. We can track their changes.

Pros

It is basically used for managing the source code very efficiently. We can also track our changes in version control system among the multiple users.

Cons

Users should have prior knowledge of version control system like how to resolve conflicts, revert the commit.

### "A pillar of software development"

May 23, 2019

5.0

Pros

This truly is one of the most useful, powerful tools that a software developer can have in their belt. It’s ubiquitous, solid, reliable and it has become a standard in the field. It’s supported by countless other tools and services and it’s the de-facto software for source code versioning.

Cons

Some concepts are hard to grok, and requires a little bit of time and study to master.

### "Inevitable for programmers"

March 8, 2021

5.0

Pros

It is undoubtedly the most essential tool for any programmer. We cannot imagine developing software without git in a team project. Get track of my and my colleague's codes and with integrate ease.

Cons

It has got different commands for various purposes which can be pretty confusing as a beginner. Lack of knowledge of those commands is quite risky in a production environment.

### "Best version control systems"

March 29, 2020

5.0

Overall, Git is one of the best tools for managing source and team collaboration.

Pros

Git is de-facto the standard in version control systems. With powerful features and easy set up, git is one of the must-use tools for software development.

Cons

Merging between different branches can cause problems at times. Not many good GUI tools are available forcing us using git mainly through it's console.

### "Great version control system"

September 21, 2019

5.0

Pros

I like the functionality of the product and the ease of creating a collaborative environment (especially if the team goes through the learning process). It is also nice that everything can be done from the command line and there is a way to track who did what.

Cons

Sometimes it's not easy to keep in mind the tree of different commits and branches, especially if there are conflicts between versions, but it's a byproduct of the flexibility and is a feature, not the downside. It is mitigated by learning how the system works.

Share source code and keep track of different versions while being able to access from anywhere

Pros

Simple to understand CLI for beginners quickly share code Able to manage source control easily Create many branches for developing features Reset versions

Cons

Merging can be difficult for beginners Easy to mess up and push to the wrong branch CLI for more advanced things can be long and confusing

### "Version control done right"

January 13, 2019

4.0

Git was a revolution when it first appeared and nothing better showed up ever since.

Pros

Very easy to learn and get started Very reliable distributed architecture Great support for modern development practices and workflows Obliterates old-school SCM's like CVS or SVN

Cons

Many similar (advanced) options makes it complex to manage in a deeper sense Conflict resolution could be made easier

### "Fast, very fast versioning system with branching"

February 15, 2019

5.0

Everyday software development in a team would be almost impossible without versioning system, and git is probably the best one. In our team which is very huge, git is used on daily base in many environments.

Pros

Branching! Its possible to have many local branches. Easy to integrate with any IDE.

Cons

So many commands can be confusing for new users. Need to push code commonly to remote branch to prevent data loss.

### "Technolgy is a this point also thanks to Git"

September 30, 2019

5.0

I've always been using Git for Version Control and after some years I have acquired a certain confidence with it. It makes working together intuitive and goal oriented.

Pros

\- Features: it is the most extensive Version Control System in existence - Stability, i never experienced a single lockup or critical issue - Offline working, previous VCSs didn't allow for this

Cons

It's easy to use but difficult to master. It can take years to become a Git ninja, but I guess that's what comes with so many features.

Reason for choosing Git

There is no real alternative. Git is \*the\* VCS!

### "Helped with projects and store project history"

January 15, 2019

5.0

It has made managing projects and storing projects a lot easier

Pros

Hard to get used to but once most of the basic commands are known it is easy to use and help mange projects easily. There is a lot of documentation online for this project which makes it even easier

Cons

It is complicated to get used to and get my head around however because online help this was easy to over come

### "The best version control system that exists"

January 12, 2020

5.0

I used it daily for versioning my programming projects for college and for self study

Pros

\- it integrates with all modern IDEs, such as IntelliJ for Java - it's blazing fast compared to svn - very easy to learn to use, not too many commands that you need to know

Cons

\- installation needs to be done with great attention to make sure the integrations with the file system are correct

### "You can't do software development without git"

December 11, 2019

5.0

It's an absolute necessity for collaboration within a software company.

Pros

The decentralized nature of Git makes it possible to collaborate in more ways than a centralized VCS allows. The focus on ease of branching and (especially) merging makes parallel work feasible.

Cons

Performance with large files, some counterintuitive options, lack of automation for old branch cleanup.

### "Git review"

July 1, 2021

5.0

Overall, very satisfied with what git is offering and would also like to support git to serve better in the future.

Pros

This open-source version control system is a very useful tool that can be used in Windows, Linux & Mac platforms.

Cons

Conflict resolution sometimes does not happen as expected and needs a manual intervention but it can be due to not having a good branching strategy.

### "De facto standard for version control in software development"

April 18, 2021

5.0

Having used some SVN before I can say that Git is much more modern and polished

Pros

If you can think of something a version control system should do, then Git probably can do it. Nowadays using LFS it can also be used for binary files tracking.

Cons

There’s a steep learning curve at the beginning, but is nothing impossible if you’re motivated and know someone who’s a Git guru

### "Git is the only source control software I will consider"

January 19, 2019

5.0

I've used git for a while, and I wouldn't ever consider programming any other way. Coding in a project without using git is frightening.

Pros

Git makes tracking source code changes and distributing code bases easy, assuming you are already technically savy.

Cons

Undoing or removing old commits can be very challenging, especially if you want to undo merging two branches or projects together.

### "Best in class"

June 23, 2020

5.0

Once you understand it, it's straight forward and reliable. You will always be assured that your code is safe using Git.

Pros

Git is the best version control system available. It is open source and provides lots of features to working with versioning in a team.

Cons

It is a little complicated to understand and use for initial users who are not used to use version control software.

### "An excellent version control system."

October 27, 2019

5.0

It is the best version control system we have ever used. The slowness on windows doesn't matter since we use Linux.

Pros

This is the best solution for our source code management and version control needs. It has a neat documentation. Easy to use and remember commands.

Cons

The GUI is not very user friendly. Some commands like 'git stash' takes more time to execute on windows.

### "Git is a must for programmers"

October 10, 2023

5.0

it's why being a developer is more fun

Pros

Version control, it really makes collaboration easier, can't imagine a world without git

Cons

git improves by day even when I don't see clearly what needs to be improved, there are tons of tools that improve the funtions of git.
