Overall, my experience with GitHub has been very positive. I've used it extensively for managing and sharing code for my research projects. 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.

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.

Excellent experience and I really cannot imagine a modern software development world without GitHub at this point. This is a the gold standard right here.
Pros
I love the wide array of features and the usage simplicity. Everything works well and meets pretty much all of our needs as a team. GitHub is very dependable and does a great job at constantly improving and responding to feedback.
Cons
CI/CD is a bit of a rabbit hole that I wish the barrier to entry was a little lower on, but all the right tools are there if you spend the time to learn them.

The interface is extremely user-friendly, making it easy to navigate and contribute during collaboration, and most importantly, it's very standard and can handle very large projects and communities.
Pros
Honestly, GitHub has been one of my greatest motivations as a software engineer for a number of reasons such as its remote repository feature which allows multiple developers to easily collaborate and work on the same project to achieve great results.
Cons
Though GitHub offers free repositories of public project, some of the advanced features are paid.

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.

Overall github is very easy to use. There are vast amount of tutorial on internet to get started with it & it's the most popular tool for source code management which makes it the number one choice to use.
Pros
Github is free to use anyone can easily use to for storing their code tracking it. It's easy to use. With authentication using token only you can push your code to the github repository which provides more security. Most of the open source projects are on the github which makes it first choice for any developer.
Cons
As it is free to use and there is not much regularity in github which can be misused. The continuous integration & continuous deployment feature needs to be improved.

Excellent source control but archaic billing
Reviewed on 2024-04-05
Pros
It is very easy to collaborate and work on code changes, publish releases, and run automation scripts. The UI is fast and they are improving it constantly making it quick and efficient to navigate to the repository and even the file you want.
Cons
My biggest gripe about GitHub is the billing. You have to buy a fixed number of seats and you can only increment it in 10s. So, even if you need just one extra user, you still have to pay for 10. It also takes a long time (2-3 days, more in some cases) to get the licenses added. I can't even process why this is the case. I would much rather have preferred usage billing.

Excellent platform! Coders and coder maintainers survive on this.
Pros
In my opinion, GitHub stands out as a top-notch platform with an intuitive user interface that makes navigation a breeze. The robust security measures instill confidence, and the extensive integrations covering source code management, issue tracking, and project management enhance its versatility. I appreciate the platform's speed, user-friendly experience, and efficient project management features like Kanban cards. GitHub's version control capabilities allow for seamless tracking and reverting of code changes. Collaborating on files or code is made easy, and the organization feature adds a layer of control with access management and team coordination. The GitHub Desktop's visual interface simplifies less-common Git commands, and GitHub Actions for continuous integration has been a game-changer in my development workflows. The insightful visualizations, including the network graph, provide valuable historical project insights. Overall, GitHub has become my go-to platform for its comprehensive suite of features, making software development and collaboration a smooth and rewarding experience.
Cons
In my opinion, managing large-sized files is hectic. Leading to efficiency issues.

I couldn't live without Github. As a developer, I spend 50%+ of my day interacting with their tooling and it makes my day-to-day so much easier than any other tooling I've used. There is very little functionality locked behind a paywall, whether you're a small business or a solo developer, you get an awful lot of runway out of the free tier, you may even never have to enter the paid tier.
Their ecosystem is vast, and they keep bringing out new tooling like Dependabot, Github Actions, Github CoPilot and more that just keep on making my life better.
Pros
Github makes it incredibly easy to perform all the daily tasks I need to do as a developer. The quality of life on Github vs any other version-control platform I've ever used is second to none.
Cons
I honestly can't think of anything, I use Github for every line of code I've ever written and interact with it daily and I can't think of a single gripe off the top of my head. If there's a con, it's so minor that I doesn't even register.

I started using GitHub 4 years ago when I had 0 experience with programming and developing software. A friend of mine recommended me GitHub to manage my projects. I looked at YouTube tutorials and read the docs and I learned the basic features of GitHub in a few days. Now, I've learned so much and use a lot of the amazing features.
Pros
You can create your own websites, you can control different versions of your project, you can integrate it with Git and Visual Studio Code, you can even install the GitHub Desktop app in case you don't know how to use Git.
Cons
GitHub does have several features, unfortunately you can't access all of them unless you buy the subscription (GitHub Pro).

GitHub saved my business model. At the beginning of my journey in e-commerce I didn't have much experience in software development and I didn't have the money to pay for a professioanl dev to help me out.

It has monthly plans that cost a bit more than a Happy Meal and offer everything you need and more.

GitHub - Excellent tool to keep version track
Reviewed on 2024-03-25
Pros
GitHub is an excellent tool to keep track of all the several versions in Dev Management.
A user needs to get familiar with the commands, but after that familiarity, it is a easy to use and easy to deploy tool.
And it assists you in version management on a simple way, when compared to the enormous hard work we had (before GIT tools) to keep track of "who" and "what" was change during a complex development of several team developers.
Cons
The need for new developers (in the GIT features) to get familiar with the commands procedures.
