Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All about Github" June 20, 2024 5.0 Overall about GitHub is still needed and essential for me as a developer. 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. Review Source OL Oliver L.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Web Content Maintainer Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Surprising Win & A Versatile Tool for Web Management" June 8, 2024 4.0 Overall, my experience with GitHub has been positive. It's streamlined our development process for custom JavaScript and Python work, making our code management more efficient and reliable. The ability to collaborate seamlessly has been especially beneficial during periods of remote work. However, there's a learning phase, and its utility varies depending on the task at hand. For heavy coding days, it's indispensable. For quick WordPress updates, it can feel like overkill. Pros As a web manager with two years of experience in Indonesia's hospitality and F&B industry, I primarily use WordPress that uses JavaScript and sometimes I made my own Python scripts. GitHub's version control has been a standout feature for me. It eliminates the need for multiple file versions and allows easy rollbacks when errors occur. The collaboration features are excellent, especially when working with team members across different Indonesian cities. Additionally, the vast GitHub community and its open-source projects have been invaluable resources, offering solutions that we can adapt to our local market. Cons The initial learning curve with Git terminology and workflows was challenging, particularly for team members more versed in hospitality than coding. Onboarding took longer than anticipated. While GitHub excels for managing code, it's less intuitive for non-code assets like restaurant menu designs or hotel brochures, which are crucial in our industry. Lastly, for simple WordPress theme tweaks, GitHub can sometimes feel overly complex. Review Source AA Abdullah A.

December 17, 2023 5.0 Del resto rimase sempre il reposity migliore in assoluto continuate così Pros Uso github con kali linux mi trovo molto bene, attraverso i social più famosi come instagram posso vedere i loro proggetti, condividendoli con le altre persone. Cons Usandolo frequentemente posso dire che tanti creatori quando inseriscono tool per kali linux dove io ci lavoro in ambiente ethical hacking, non aggiornano le descrizione per l'installazione dei tool, nella descrizione ci sono riportati i passaggi per l'installazione ma quando apri il terminale su kali si presentano errori perchè con l'avanzare delle versioni in linux, sono obsoleti alcuni comandi questo vale per tutti i creatori di tool presenti i github, sarebbe meglio installare l'ultima versione rilasciata dal sito, e testare il funzionamento su l'ultima release. Non lasciando le descrizione con le relative istruzioni per l'installazione per le versioni del 2022 di kali linux, vorrei ci fosse un pò di impegno da parte dei creatori dei tool, ogni volta devo imbattermi in forum per risolvere il problema di installazione.

Senior Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Github as your partner into the CI/CD world" April 11, 2024 5.0 My experience has been excellent so far, but I feel I can't learn enough about using Github to make my life as a developer easier. I'm reading books and taking courses to try to automate more processes for my professional and personal projects, as I feel the more I know, the more I can accomplish using it. Pros It is the primary and well-known version control option in the industry. You will always find an easy tutorial to set up anything you need, from fundamental to expert courses, since everyone knows about it and has used it at least at some point, so we are all well aware of its importance. Most technologies and web applications can integrate with it. Using some CLI commands and simple yet powerful configuration files, you can set up a complete CI/CD pipeline in seconds. It is really an excellent option overall. Cons It might be intimidating at first, and for nontech professionals, it might seem something that might as well be in a different language because there is not an easy onboarding process to understand its structure, purpose, or level of abstraction. It might require some guidance initially, but once that learning curve is surpassed, it will become something easy to relate to. Switched from [Bitbucket](https://www.capterra.com/p/233341/Bitbucket/) Integrating with other technologies and platforms like Firebase and Azure was simpler for continuous integration and deployment. It is also the industry standard. Review Source AS Amran S.

For academics, it's a no brainer to use GitHub with their educational offerings to help prepare your students for the industry. Pros GitHub provides a single service where source code control, documentation, issue tracking, and more are possible. All of these aspects are well integrated and can even reference lines from the source from different commits. Pricing for academics is extremely generous. Cons There's not much to not like in GitHub. It does a lot of things well. Some little things can be improved like better user administration and creating a way for users to sign-up for your organization rather than inviting a user to join your organization. Switched from [GitLab](https://www.capterra.com/p/159806/GitLab/) We were in fact running GitLab on the premises but we were tired of administrating it.
