Full-stack engineer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Yet another endorsement of Github" October 8, 2024 5.0 Fantastic, been getting better over time. There's a reason it's become the standard for all repos. Pros It's free, it's the standard, and it's filled with almost everything you need. Cons The CLI tools can be a bit bizarre at times, but that's okay. Also it seems a little troublesome to set up keys at times. Alternatives considered [GitLab](https://www.capterra.com/p/159806/GitLab/) Reason for choosing GitHub It is the standard, simple as that. Rarely a reason to use the others. Review Source TM Terry M.

Project Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### ""GitHub Review: Essential for Collaboration and Version Control"" November 24, 2024 4.0 The ability to branch, merge, and track the history of changes makes it easy to keep everything organized, even when working on complex projects with multiple contributors. Pros It's branching feature is particularly useful, as it allows developers to work on features or bug fixes in isolation, then merge them back into the main project without disrupting the workflow. Cons Me being a beginner first, its user interface, which, while functional, can sometimes feel cluttered. Review Source MO Meghann O. Customer Success Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good for engineering and product teams but difficult to search for other teams" November 23, 2024 4.0 Pros It's a great way for me to track how bugs and features are moving through the engineering pipeline Cons I find it incredibly difficult to search and duplicate tickets are easily created. Review Source KSH Khin Swe H. Mobile App Developer E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Source Code Management For Free" September 1, 2024 5.0 For overall experience with Github is totally great. It's fast, easy, flexible and mainly it is free. Moreover, GitHub has some features, like git page. It can support your portfolio upload in public. I really like it. Pros The most I like about Github is Repository CRUD. I always use Github for my projects and create repository on Github and collaborate with my colleagues. It's really awesome. My working process is easy and fast due to Github. Cons The least I like about Github is Git merging. It was stuck something when I want to merge with my colleagues's branches like rebase. I can't push and pull at that time. I think it needs to fix it later. Review Source FT Federico T. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use " October 3, 2024 4.0 GitHub, truly the best collaboration tool for developers!

Full-Stack Developer Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GitHub > all" August 7, 2024 5.0 I switched my all projects on GitHub from other services. I am very happy with it, especially because with FREE account we can do EVERYTHING! I hope in the future GitHub will implement some user interface to be able to build CD/CI without writing any code, because we are not always a DEVOPS Pros Almost everything is free, user interface is very easy to use/understand. I love the community support too, a lot of developers are giving some open source products on this website Cons Some basic features like the ability to create categories to organize repositories is missing. It is a very annoying problem and a lot of people asks to implement it since many years but GitHub does not say anything about it Switched from [GitLab](https://www.capterra.com/p/159806/GitLab/)[Bitbucket](https://www.capterra.com/p/233341/Bitbucket/) GitHub is very easy to use and i wanted to centralise all my projects in one place Review Source KP Kyle P.

The platform's capabilities have been invaluable in keeping my work organized, especially when revisiting previous stages of my research. The ability to track changes, create branches, and merge code has streamlined my workflow and made it easier to manage complex projects. GitHub has become an essential tool in my research process. Pros The ease of version control, the ability to track changes, and also the seamless way it allows multiple people to work on the same project. The availability of open-source projects and the ability to learn from others' code, is also a huge plus. It helped me a lot in my research. Cons It can be a learning curve for beginners. The interface can be a bit overwhelming at first, especially for those who are new to version control or command-line tools. Also, navigating through large projects with many branches and pull requests can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Pros Source Control is the most I like in GitHub. When we work with team, source control is important. All of team members will be pushed their codes at the same branches. If I am owner of project I will look up their code and accept their pull requests.Github's source control is easy to use to combine codes from each member. This is the one I like Github. Cons I think Authentication. I am a software developer and I use VS code as IDE.Github can authenticate with VS code. I have to GitHub account, one for personal and one for office work. When I was changed my personal to work account or vice visa, I'm faced with some issue that is git conflict among two accounts.I am worked with my office account, but in authentication, my account is still personal account. I think this part is needed to update about Github. This one is I like least about Github.
