Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student in Industrial Maintenance Mining & Metals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Git Review" March 8, 2023 4.0 Overall, I think Git is a very useful tool for managing versions of software projects and other work files. Although there may be an initial learning curve, once you understand the basics, it's relatively easy to use and enables effective teamwork. I would definitely recommend Git to other developers and professionals in the industry. Pros What I liked most about Git is its ability to effectively manage multiple versions of a project's source files. This allows for safe teamwork on the same project and safe changes without the risk of overriding other people's work. Git is also easy to use and has detailed documentation that makes learning it easy. Cons I encountered some negative aspects of Git. For example, when using some advanced features, such as branch management, I sometimes found it difficult to understand how to use them correctly. Additionally, Git's command syntax can sometimes be complex and difficult to remember, which can make using Git a bit intimidating for beginners. Review Source TE Trent E.

I personally just use everything from the command line and it's pretty awesome. The documentation is fantastic and there are sooooo many resources online that will help you know how to make the commands that you need when it comes to more complicated things. I love Git. It's awesome. Honestly, I think every software engineer should use it if they don't already. Pros \- Basic commands are super easy to master and use (add, commit, push, branch, etc) - Super effective at tracking changes to files - Integration with GitHub is super easy. (I assume integrating with GitLabs is also easy, but I haven't done it myself) - Documentation is good and there are a ton of resources online Cons \- Occasionally, merging and pull requests can get a little convoluted. If you're not careful about trying to resolve merge conflicts you can get stuck in what I call "Git Hell". The good news is that there are ways to get out of it if you roll back changes Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Git Review" November 25, 2019 5.0 Generally fairly positive experience. It suffers a bit from usability but that can be solved with GUI tools Pros Easy way to share and work on code across lots of teammates and entire organizations.

Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The classic, reliable VCS" February 13, 2021 5.0 I have been using Git since I've started programming and it has been a valuable tool in helping me rollback breaking changes and work on other projects. Tools like GitHub make it easy for me to collaborate with others, discover projects, and publicize my projects. Pros It is easy for beginners to get started with Git and it is widely used by many popular open source projects, like the Linux kernel, the Bootstrap web framework, the Python programming language, and more. There are many hosted Git solution, like GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and more. It also has years of experience and support behind it and is very reliable. Cons Some relatively simple-sounding operations can become complex and it isn't hard to mess up a repository and fixing mistakes can be difficult sometimes.

Desarrollador RPA (UiPath, BluePrism) Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### " Without a doubt the best version control" September 27, 2020 5.0 We use Git daily at work, both for small and large projects because it is very convenient to have code backups and check the changes you have made. Pros Adaptable to each project, from small projects with a branch to huge, the ease of teamwork. There is a lot of documentation and you can go from using the basics to getting into complex configurations. Cons Unless you use a third-party program that makes it easier for you visually, you have to learn many commands, so it makes it difficult to understand it at first. Review Source Marco P.

Review Source SR Saleh R. Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Git" December 17, 2019 5.0 It's the best source control for working locally and sync with other co-workers Pros Tracking history of source files and maintaining a complete record of work done. It allows multiple users to work simultaneously without overwriting each other's changes. Using it locally and performing various changes offline. Less space consuming. Better branch management. Run smoothly on low-spec systems. Cons Errors and catastrophic errors can completely break your repository, in some situations I needed to delete local repository and downloaded repository from server. One of catastrophic error than break your repository is when you hit Ctrl+C in middle of adding new changes or files to repository. It's hard to learn and master GIT. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "git is a life saver on most occasions" October 22, 2020 5.0 Pros Sometimes, you try something with your code and it just doesn't work. Being able to revert back to whichever version you want is awesome. I can freely implement my ideas without worrying about how I'd revert it if the changes didn't work. Cons Git comes with multiple tools that I don't use. I'd rather be able to pick the ones that I want to install. Also, the system is complicated whether or not you are using the complex features. The learning curve can be intimidating. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer System Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The premier source control tool currently available in the market."

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Junior Software Engineer Program Development Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Difficult but powerful" April 18, 2019 4.0 Pros So the main pros is that git is everywhere in the business, we're doing everyday - git push, git commit, etc. And why? - Because it's helpful to maintain our code. Learn git right now! Cons It seams to be a little bit hard do learn it, and there is too much feature. You have to spend meny months/years to be good at it.

Just easier to use through terminal. Review Source MK Matthew K. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It's the industry standard for a reason" April 8, 2020 5.0 Pros Git is a very powerful version control system. But the main selling point is that the industry has settled on Git as the "industry standard" VCS. This means that there will be more services built for Git, more third-party integrations for Git, more potential hires will know Git, etc. Cons The CLI isn't as good as it could be. The commands and flags are a bit inconsistent at times. Reason for choosing Git Funnily enough, I think some of the other version control systems are better than Git from a theoretical point of view. However, git works well, and it "won" the popularity war. More potential hires will know Git, more third party services will have Git integrations, etc. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Systems Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Totally necessary for software development" June 11, 2020 5.0 Git helps my company to track all source code changes in a lot of projects.
