GitHub integrations make it ideal for project management
GitHub integrations make it ideal for project management
Pros
I have been using GitHub for a few months now and I can confidently say that it is one of the best platforms for managing projects. We use Slack for communication, Jira for issue tracking and Trello for task management, and GitHub’s integrations make it possible to integrate these tools and create a seamless workflow.Plus, I find the platform’s UI very intuitive, which makes it easy for me to navigate the different features and quickly locate what I need.
Cons
The biggest downside I can think of is that some features are only available in the paid version. The Team plan offers more features than the basic version, but it is still quite limited compared to other project management tools.

GitHub is the way to go for open source projects
GitHub is the way to go for open source projects
Pros
Data security has always been a big issue for our small team, so we decided to use GitHub for our open-source projects. The platform offers great features like access control and code review that help us keep our code secure without compromising its availability. That allowed us to focus on our development while having the peace of mind that our code is safe.Plus, GitHub also has great collaboration tools like pull requests and issue tracking, which make it easy for us to collaborate with other developers from around the world.
Cons
The biggest downside I can think of is the cost. Although GitHub does offer a free version, it is quite limited and doesn’t offer the features we need. We had to upgrade to the Team plan to get all the features we needed. Other than that, I haven’t encountered any problems while using GitHub.

Pros
GitHub helps us collaborate with other developers from around the world and share resources without any hassles. We have been using GitHub to manage our projects since we started our company and we haven’t encountered any problems so far.The software has an intuitive UI that makes it easy to track progress, review code and compare changes. Plus, the platform offers great security features that help us keep our code safe and secure.
Cons
Apart from the limited storage space which made us upgrade our plan to the Team plan, we also encountered the occasional bug which was quickly fixed by the support team. Other than that, GitHub has been a great asset for our business.

GitHub helps me stay on top of my tasks
GitHub helps me stay on top of my tasks
Pros
I love using GitHub to manage my projects because it helps me keep track of all the tasks in one place, assign them to other members and follow their progress. With GitHubs issue-tracking system, I can quickly identify any issues that arise during the development process.Plus, the platform has great collaboration tools like code review and pull requests that allow me to check the changes proposed by my colleagues before they are implemented. This helps us avoid mistakes and keep our projects on track.
Cons
The only downside I can think of is that the software can be a bit pricey if you need additional features such as more storage or advanced security. Other than that, theres not much to complain about.

All that a developer needs under one roof!
All that a developer needs under one roof!
Pros
My journey with GitHub began when I joined a software development team that was already using the platform. They wanted me to learn to use it before I could start contributing, so I had to familiarize myself with the tools quickly.I found that GitHub makes it very easy to organize projects, share code and collaborate with other developers. The platform also has an intuitive UI and a search feature that helps me locate whatever piece of code I need in seconds.
Cons
My only complaint about GitHub is the limited storage space. The basic plan provides 500MB of storage and I often find myself running out of it when working on projects with large files or a lot of code. I wish they offered more storage in the basic plan.

Great software solution for large companies with real-time synchronization.
Great software solution for large companies with real-time synchronization.
Pros
I have been managing the programming team of my company for many years, but my job only got easier after we switched to Github. It has a seamless sync feature that keeps the code updated across all platforms and for every user, which makes the distribution of jobs much more effective. I personally appreciate the fact that I can choose the best programmer I have for a certain problem, and they can start working from the exact line without disrupting any other part of the code.
Cons
Github is good and works as intended. But that comes with a price. Since it is so complex and feature-rich, it is not made for beginners. The learning curve is steep, and I’ve had to spend a lot of man hours training our new or fresh employees.

A must-have tool for all the developers out there
A must-have tool for all the developers out there
Pros
Github is by far the most feature-rich software, especially when you consider that it is mostly free. Gits essential functions are more than enough, but you may still purchase Enterprise for even more advanced functionality. Our source code is so easy to understand, and anything from bugs to versions connected to the source code can be viewed, along with how your dependencies work in projects that you use.
Cons
I like to experiment and create a lot of projects, but what I severely dislike is that all private, fun, and collaborative projects are in the same place. Also, I found random YouTube videos to be more helpful than Github’s own help site.

GitHub: Loved every bit of it
GitHub: Loved every bit of it
Pros
The way you can review a code is absolutely fantastic and intuitive. It has a very user-friendly editor, and I have rarely found any problems with it. Whatever code I review, its mostly from my team, which means my input is required at some places. It is great that I can suggest modifications without messing up their code and co-author pull requests. Any code that needs to be discussed can be done from within the app, and I appreciate that chats have a clear UI and can be targeted to whomever you want. What’s even better is that you can mark a file as read and check changes between commits!
Cons
I don’t know what their problem is with Apple. If you use it solely on Windows, it would cost you far less than what it would be on the Mac OS. It’s probably a licensing issue. For a firm as large as ours, it is a problem, though. We would appreciate it if there were better Github Actions packages available to suit a large CI/CD firm. Testing your head would require you to spend credits every time, and there’s a risk of breaking the code. I havent found any default reviewers for repositories, and there are some minor UI concerns.

Amazing community and customer services
Amazing community and customer services
Pros
I am so glad to be a part of the GitHub community, which has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years. I have never used a coding tool this amazing, and the level of stability makes it extremely reliable. Recently, GitHub has made significant efforts to create a more intuitive user experience that is easier to use for both novice and experienced users. This was a much-appreciated effort as folks like me, who are the best with code or development, got to know how to set up and distribute code with GitHub.
Cons
If you have never coded, just looking at the code for a simple calculator might be scary for you. Then this is an entire piece of coding software that actually accomplishes a lot more. GitHub is not easy to master, especially if you have no prior experience. There isnt much else to say here. The support team is helpful and has been addressing this issue and making it a lot easier to get started. I would like to see this level of support in other areas as well.

Great for team collaborations
Great for team collaborations
Pros
GitHub is great at many things, but I use the version control the most and found it to be flawless! It promotes a level of collaboration between fellow coders that is reliable and increases productivity since we are all waiting on one to finish the task so another can continue it. It helps me manage the team more effectively and assign tasks based on priority. Any issues that arise in the code can be tracked with ease. And it goes without saying that the underlying "git" hosting is excellent.
Cons
It could be designed a bit better to cater more to project management. For example, the way issues are approached by priority could be improved by adding helpful themes ("epics"), and the creation of scrum, agile, and/or kanban-influenced views and planning tools can all be streamlined so that we dont have to go looking for them. Ive heard some people express anxiety about Microsofts acquisition of GitHub, but I dont see why because Microsoft has a great track record of operating business-grade technologies. The only downside to this acquisition is the price bump.

For me, it was literally a lifesaver
Pros
We are a startup with limited manpower and for us GitHub is a resource and great for managing source codes. We used to struggle with determining where a certain bug occurred and manually testing code, but thanks to GitHub, we were able to automate a large portion of the process! Because GitHub is a well-known platform, there are so many online forums available that help assist us in testing new features and determining why a specific issue happened. Viewing information and reading code from the website is simple thanks to the straightforward UI. We can easily develop codes thanks to the UI which makes our workflow smoother than ever.
Cons
Github is very complex when you really dive into it. Everything works great but it just does a lot that it can get quite confusing to make a sense of everything thats going on. We initially let our team approach the GitHub support team on their own which quickly became unmanageable since everyone had so many questions. We then developed our own debugging team which is able to fix most issues without bothering the software developers. GitHub is designed for professionals so newbies wont find it that easy.
