GitHub Reviews

“fantastic hosting and automation”

Pros

One of the biggest advantages of it is that it gives free hosting for open-source software through public repositories and it also includes unlimited private repositories at no cost. On top of basic Git repository hosting, there's a broad set of free companion tools and services that add a lot of value. A few I use the most are Github Pages for hosting static sites, Github Actions for handling builds without needing a separate third-party build server,although private projects do have a cap on Action minutes,and it's extensive API which makes it possible to automate tasks like creating repositories, cloning them and other interactions.

Cons

The project management side feels fairly basic, mostly centered around a Scrum-style board. At times, the interface can also feel a little awkward to move through since getting to certain areas takes quite a few clicks.

“Excellent tool for all”

Pros

It has been an excellent platform for building, creating, collaborating on and deploying projects for anyone interested in development. You can just upload your files or code and get started right away and from there others can contribute without much effort. It's simple enough for beginners to use and the huge community makes it even better because there's always something to learn from others.

Cons

After using it for a long time, I honestly haven't come across any feature that I dislike.

“Good repo management”

Pros

Setting up repositories and keeping codebases organized is really simple. Having support for both public and private repos works perfectly and the user management features are excellent too.

Cons

The search feature could use some work since it occasionally brings back results that aren't actually relevant.

“Had a good experience”

Pros

It stands out as one of the best tools for version control and it does an excellent job of keeping all my work stored safely in one place.

Cons

This software is good overall but public repositories can still be modified by anyone who has access through the available SSH link so that part should be improved.

“reliable hosting for years”

Pros

I've been using it for many years now and I still haven't run into any server-side issues at all.

Cons

Only downside is the pricing and that part really needs some improvement.

“best ui with hidden gems”

Pros

Right away, it feels like it has one of the best interfaces available in any version control platform. A recent addition I really enjoy is being able to open a project in an embedded Visual Studio IDE just by pressing ".". You still get all the standard git commands like with any git-based version control tool but Also, a lot of actions can also be handled very conveniently through the desktop app or the web app.

Cons

A few features especially things like project planning, are not explained very clearly. With more tutorials showing how to use them, I think a lot more people would actually start taking advantage of them. It really seems like it has quite a few valuable features hidden away that many users simply never discover.

“Amazing CI/CD”

Pros

The interface was simple to understand and use without much effort. I didn't have to go through all the documentation just to get comfortable with it which made getting started much quicker. The part I appreciate the most is the CI/CD and it has been especially useful for my work at the office.

Cons

I've been using it for the past two years and honestly I haven't come across anything I dislike about it.

“all coding info in one place”

Pros

Having quick access to all coding information across the company and the community is really helpful.

Cons

It feels a bit complicated at the beginning but once you get familiar with all the tabs, it becomes much easier to navigate.

“An excellent tool”

Pros

Getting started with it was pretty simple and I really appreciate that it's open source and works well with a wide range of other platforms.

Cons

That said the interface does feel a bit outdated especially when compared with Bitbucket.

“fast file tracking”

Pros

One thing that really stands out on it is how quickly it reads files while tracking code. It handles that faster than any other application I've used. Also, being able to use it for free is another big advantage.

Cons

It works really well across the board so I honestly don't have anything I dislike about it.

“Trusted support”

Pros

This is the biggest software development platform out there and its powerful tools along with excellent support make building your next app or website much more manageable. That's exactly why I put so much trust in it.

Cons

Working together on the same project can be difficult at times. The collaboration approach still needs some improvement.

“strong tools”

Pros

A strong source code control system for companies that are just getting started. It offers free public repositories, while private repositories are available on a paid plan.

Cons

Private repositories do require payment and the cost can become expensive at times.

“excellent for team code management”

Pros

This has been really helpful for managing code across everyone and keeping collaboration organized while working with a large team.

Cons

When searching for specific text in the repository, it tends to return too many results. It would be much better to have an option for a stricter search.

“code uploads that just work”

Pros

Out of all the software I've used, this has been the best one so far. Everything about it has been good. The interface is simple to understand and the features are just as simple to use. The best part is being able to upload and download source code without any hassle.

Cons

At this point, I don't really have anything negative to say about the software. I'll keep using it and see whether anything comes up later on.

“massive open-source hub”

Pros

Among developer platforms, it stands out for having the biggest collection of free and open-source software, along with an enormous global developer community. It also includes useful perks like free static website hosting and free code hosting which makes it even more valuable.

Cons

Getting started can be rough because there's very little hand-holding and both the Git protocol and It's interface are far from beginner-friendly. Also, despite the similar names, Git and Github are completely different things which can be confusing at first. It's also owned by Microsoft rather than the community and that may be a downside for some people.

“faster workflows and confident updates”

Pros

Being able to make simple website changes without going through the development team is a big plus. That extra independence makes it much easier to keep the site updated when needed. Git also speeds up the workflow because there's no need to interrupt someone or send emails just to get changes committed. Also, working on a project with Git gives a lot of confidence since it's very hard to make a mistake that can't be undone. Overall it helps projects move forward much faster.

Cons

One thing I'd really want improved is increasing the file size limit to at least 100MB per file. Even a single 4K still image can easily have a source file around that size.

“game-changing actions for ci/cd”

Pros

The addition of Actions has completely changed the game for CI/CD.

Cons

Handling security can be a bit of a hassle at times.

“code sharing with developers worldwide”

Pros

It makes sharing code and discovering snippets from programmers all over the world really convenient.

Cons

Up to this point, I haven't come across anything I dislike about this software.

“top pick for app development”

Pros

Works really well for app development and sharing repositories and it's probably one of the most valuable products in Git technologies.

Cons

The interface could use a refresh since its overall look feels a bit old-fashioned.

“simple design and effortless use”

Pros

The design is very simple and using it feels very simple.

Cons

I'd say the storage space is the main downside especially in my case.
