"Highly Intuitive GIT Hosting Solution with a Ridiculous Amount of Community Support"

Pluspunten: The best part of this software, in my opinion, has to be the repository insights that comes with the pro version and above. These insights have proven to be extremely valuable when managing larger-scale projects with multiple developers working on the projects. Not only is our project management team able to get live updates on the progress of the project with each commit, but our team is also able to hold each other accountable by seeing their progress via the progress tracking feature and individual commits. Another notable mention for Github is their desktop GUI. This is such an incredibly easy tool to use and it makes the entire GIT experience much easier to understand and maneuver.

Minpunten: The one issue i had with this software is the repo search functionality. This part of the software can be confusing to learn to be effective with and it takes some time to be proficient with, which can be a hassle for some of our newer members of our project management team.

"As a designer who codes..."

Opmerkingen: Great. I used GitHub at my work daily and for at home for personal projects. It was set up & integrated well throughout our suite and comms internally. Personally, I have a repo set up for my personal sit and I wouldn’t ever choose another tool to host my code repository and handle deployments to production code.

Pluspunten: GitHub has grown leap & bounds over the past few years. They have always offered really excellent tools for developers that is well built and very stable. More recently GitHub has put a lot of effort in creating a more intuitive user experience that makes it simpler to use for both beginners and experienced users. As a designer who isn’t the best with code and development but still knows how to setup and deploy code with GitHub there updates over recent years have been very helpful in day-to-day. Integrations & security settings are excellent as well.

Minpunten: Nothing much to say here. GitHub can be a bit overwhelming for a beginner but IMO they have been addressing this and making it much more comfortable to get started using. I’d like to see more of the same in other areas as well. Solving merge conflicts in GitHub was the only time I was ever frustrated with the tool.

"Review and Manage your Codes Without Any Hassle"

Opmerkingen: It has various documentations, guides, help sections and articles which helps in providing information about anything related to Git. It is also providing a variety of helpful samples for your projects. It introduced a new feature named as Gists which helps in turning more than one file into a repository of Git and it helps in sharing and tracking changes more accurately and easily. User will be able to create static websites by using GitHub pages.

Pluspunten: It is developed for managing open-source projects. If you are dealing with open source project which is including issue tracker and wiki, it is easy to get feedback and add more in-depth documentation in it. Community is also contributing to developing open-source projects through it. It has a markdown feature which is a text editor for writing various formatted documents so that the user will be able to track them easily.

Minpunten: It does not have improved security features to prevent merging. When you create new commits it automatically hides previous comments. After merging branches into repositories it is difficult to track them. Various controls should be provided for notifications. Limitations should be removed regarding file size.

"It's an industry standard tool for reason"

Opmerkingen: Very simple to set up and use, and being an industry standard most onboarding developers and engineering teams already know how to use it.

Pluspunten: Reliable and consistent version control and code collaboration platform. The team management, issue tracking, visibility/privacy control are all top of the line, and of course the underlying "git" hosting is perfect. Introduction of Github Actions only improves the value of the platform.

Minpunten: I'd like to see more for project management, e.g. ways to better organize issues by priority, themes ("epics") and create scrum, agile and/or kanban influenced views and planning tools. I've heard some folks express concern with Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub, but I don't understand the concern b/c Microsoft has a solid history of operating business-grade tools, and from the date of acquisition we've only seen more-for-your-money price changes.

"It's one of the first and also one of the best code management tools"

Opmerkingen: I like it very much, I have used it for professional, freelance and code learning projects.

Pluspunten: - World renowned
- Easy to use if you know git
- It has student/education plans
- They now offer free private repositories
- Github actions offer a free tier
- Github actions have a repository of ready-to-use code snippets

Minpunten: - The teams and corporate versions can get quite expensive when your team increases
- It doesn't have code indexing / search, only "jump to file"
