### "True enterprise-grade software versioning tool"

July 29, 2021

5.0

I have been using GIT for years across many customers. I have started with Microsoft VSS and used many other source code versioning tools like CVS, PVCS and Subversion. I have no hesitation to say that throughout my career I have never see such a stable, versatile and robust code versioning tool ever. I have been thoroughly impressed with it and have no complaints to recommend it to anyone looking for a great version control platform.

Pros

Stability, reliability, performance and availability of a rich feature set. Ability to scale up to provide great collaborative environment for a large development team.

Cons

Some of the commands can be a little more self explanatory. History and traceability through the logs could be a little more user-friendly.

### "A lot to learn, but essential as a software developer"

January 7, 2020

5.0

Great, couldn't work in a group without it, necessary for shared code

Pros

Very powerful, without it, it would be very difficult to work as a team. Great historical functions, logging, and review tools

Cons

Can be easy to learn but hard to master, a bit easy to mess things up. Rebasing is a big unknown and misunderstood

December 18, 2018

5.0

Pros

Absolutely unmatched code repository management Extensive feature list - if you can think of it, you can do it. Collaboration between coders is made very simple.

Cons

Confusing at first - steep learning curve. Way too easy to run dangerous commands for beginners, and lose progress on a project.

### "Best Source code management tool out there"

August 30, 2020

5.0

Pros

The plethora of features Git offers is outstanding, have been using this tool for some years now and I still come across new features which help me a lot. The ease of source code management, collaboration, branching, tracking work are some of the best and easy to understand features Git provides. Also, with very good resources available online its easy to setup and get answers to questions about the software. The ease of integration with a lot of other softwares makes it a very useful SCM tool to have.

Cons

Can be a little challenging to understand the details in the beginning, but once you get hold of how stuff works it is an easy ride using this great software.

December 5, 2019

We use "git" in all our projects. And we are quite satisfied.

Pros

There are too many advantages to explain. Thanks to Git, projects are developed more smoothly and faster. You can see who did what.

Cons

"Git" is a very successful version control system and I had no problems during my usage process. n\_n

### "Versioning your projects with Git"

August 30, 2019

5.0

Using a version control system can be a very important addition to a project and, once you start using it, you'll probably wonder how you ever did things before. Git does its job very well by providing a efficient solution for a version control system.

Pros

I've been using Git for most of my projects for some time now and it serves me really well. It offers great performance, works offline (which is a very big plus for when you're doing things on the move and cannot access a reliable connection) and adapts really well to your needs, allowing you to specify the workflow that works out best for your project and/or team.

Cons

Because of the amount of commands and terms, it has a steep learning curve and can be a little hard for some people to get used at first. However, as the times passes and you start using the most frequent commands and learning them, it works really well.

### "My Own Experience working with Git"

September 30, 2019

5.0

My overall experience using Git is AWESOME. Without GitLab, I'm sure that i won't be able to keep all of my projects updated. Thanks to Git I was able to recover lost code due to a serious PC failure.

Pros

With Git you have many advantages that you would not have with other applications: · You can keep your code well structured and saved. · You can have control of who sees the code you want. · You can request access to third-party code. · You can access open source sources. · You can keep different branches in a code record so that in one you can have code and modify it, and in another branch save only code that works without errors.

Cons

The worst thing about Git, maybe is not an important thing but, I would realy like to improve a bit the desktop aplication, and also, be able to link it to few more applications that now it could be.

### "Best Version Management Option"

September 10, 2019

5.0

Even though it can be hard to grasp at times, it's usefulness far outweighs the learning curve.

Pros

It is so incredibly useful to be able to share code across a team effectively! I don't know how people developed code effectively before Git came along.

Cons

It can be pretty intimidating to learn, and it seems that every team implements Git in a different way, and use different repositories as well. It can be a lot to take in at first.

Versatile, gets job done. Fairly well documented, as Open Source software paid support is available, but on problems are fairly well known.

Cons

### "Powerful version control with tons of features"

July 21, 2019

5.0

Git has time and again proved to be versatile enough to handle projects from the smallest of them to extremely large projects. The branching and pull-request based model makes maintaining many line ups of the code base a fairly simple process. Although a bit daunting for a beginner, the

Pros

\- Branching, merging and distributed capabilities allow for great ways to collaborate. - Decentralized version control allows working offline and later integrating the work to the remote repository. - The popularity of git means many editors and IDEs support it out of the box making this a good choice - Has many GUI application frontends which provide a good overview of the repository

Cons

\- The amount of features can be overwhelming for a beginner - While most commonly used features are quite well known, the more obscure ones can be confusing for even a seasoned developer.

Reason for choosing Git

\- Ubiquity - Most developers are familiar with the most commonly used features - Supported all the features that we needed from a version control software

### "Robust Version Control System"

June 15, 2020

4.0

I work alone so I use git mainly to create fallback points or create branches to explore alternative paths to solutions. I also use it to quickly clone projects from public online repositories.

Pros

It is robust. It never breaks and never breaks the code it is being used to manage. I've never had a bad merge go through. Git is extremely fast Easy compared to some of the alternatives

Cons

Simple visual tools for git are available but to access advanced functionality you'll have to go through a steep learning curve to use the command line tools. Resolving merge conflicts can be tedious. It can become cluttered when using alongside another version control system ( In cases where you need to upload to a platform that uses a Git alternative.)

Alternatives considered

[Apache Subversion](https://www.capterra.com/p/177270/Apache-Subversion/)[Mercurial](https://www.capterra.com/p/177239/Mercurial/)

Reason for choosing Git

Git is more ubiquitous and relatively simple.

### "One of the Most Popular Version Control Software"

May 17, 2023

5.0

Pros

Git is one of the most popular and powerful version control software. It not only tracks your changes, but it also capable of cooperation with other teammates.Another highlight is everyone can create their own "branch" then merge to the master repository after they've finished their own works. This reduced codes clash and keep the master repository tidy.

Cons

Git is very easy to get on but requires extensive time and energy to mastering it.

Reason for choosing Git

Git is the most mature version control software and many vendors adopt it, such as GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.

### "Git Review"

March 6, 2023

5.0

This software makes programming projects easy to work on. I am able to collabrate with other developers on the same project and this does not affect the code because it's branching capabilities prevents code interference and ensures proper code mamangement.

Pros

The version control feature has been really helpful to me as a junior developer, as it helps me track versions of my code and also collabrate with different developers.

Cons

Could be a bit confusing for a new user, you might need alot of help from the onset but becomes easy to use as you consistently use it.

### "git review"

October 23, 2018

5.0

in my project git is the best tool for managing our code. we are a big development team and git make us easy to manage our code.

Pros

it has two different ways to do things. by clicking in the application and by console. If there is some function supported by the visual application, there is a lot of examples for doing it by commands. it is a great tool for beginners and experts. you can manage your product in the most basic way or you can improve your process with the advanced options.

Cons

I have had some issues with the credentials but is just a matter to research and the solution comes up. I always have to chose my credentials but it works.

### "Great version control system "

September 7, 2021

I like git because it works fast. With the help of Visual Studio/Sourcetree, I don't need to memorize a long list of git commands.

Pros

Nearly every operations are done locally and works so much faster than other version control software that access a server most of the times.

Cons

It needs an effort if you try to memorize git commands. However, I overcome this by utilizing Visual Studio's check in/check out/sync/merge functionalities and utilizing Sourcetree with which you can check in/check out/sync/merge too. So no problem.
