GitHub

Opmerkingen: We have switched to GitHub enterprise and we realized how it was become easy to browse repository, share and contribute to projects things that wasn’t possible before.

Pluspunten: As a web developer GitHub is built to work perfectly with web projects.it has a lot of features:
It’s easy to setup project and add contributors to it.
PR system is very complete and it’s easy to follow and request changes from contributors, you can also integrate third party tools to enhance the pull request validation mechanism.
GitHub pages make your life easier to deploy your application (mostly the app documentation) by just creating a doc folder in the repo without any extra server setup. These are the features that l’m using daily but GitHub have much more than that (gists,issues tracker,wiki,..) I can spend days talking about it but if you’re looking for a git repository service GitHub is the best choice.

Minpunten: I didn’t notice any major cons except the learning curve especially if you come from other environment like Svn or TFS.

Opmerkingen: Anything I write or code goes into GitHub, if it's a file I put it on Google Drive, if not it goes on GitHub, simple as that. It means I always have a backup, an up to date version, can roll back and share code very easily. Also, we collaborate daily as an organisation on GitHub and it is essential for us to function :)

Pluspunten: It's very easy to use and fast. Previously I was using another version control software which became very slow. GitHub is super fast and much easier to use. I love the project management feature and KanBan cards and also the fact that it integrates with lots of other tools.

Minpunten: I think finding personal info could be made easier, e.g. all your comments, comments in a certain timeframe, interactions and conversations. I am a programmer and don't mind manually adding in the flags for searching, but feel a much more intuitive interface could be created to make life easier.

Opmerkingen: We use it on a daily basis, we have about 100+ private repositories hosted on this platform. It has nice workflow for devops to keep the source code clean, unit tested and deployable.

Pluspunten: Github requires no introduction. It is the most popular source code management among opensouce and enterprise customers. It has native integration with almost all cloud providers.

Minpunten: Charge per user. In our case we outsource 70% of our development to outside contractors. Every time we add them into our account, it is considered as additional collaborator and takes away one seat. It will be hard for us to keep monitoring both internal and external developers on our team to keep the cost under control.

Opmerkingen: I use github for version control at work. Our code goes up to two different sets of reviewers and this all takes place via github.

Pluspunten: Github is really your only choice for version control. There are other platforms out there but Github has cornered the market. It's free, which is a bonus.

Minpunten: It's pretty difficult to start using. It's not intuitive at all. Many times, I have merge conflicts and when I go to edit them within github, it corrupts my branch. There are a lot of ins and outs and nuances that aren't easily navigated around when utilizing Github. I frequently get errors that have no documentation or support.

Opmerkingen: I find hub to be best solution of it's kind and I would drop this for any other similar product. Many companies make use of it not just for work but in the recruitment process to allow candidates to upload their test code during interview phases

Pluspunten: The amount of information available is fantastic. There are so many members here that if you were looking to solve a programming problem or just to start developing a new product. You will probably find that some one here has done it or something similar. There are so many open-source project stored here that are in public repositories that if you can't find what you are looking for in your preferred code you will most likely find it written in another code and you get the joy of learning new code or translating the code. It's simple to clone a repository to look over the code offline. It's easy to upload code. It's great to collaborate on projects with others. Start with a free account to make sure you are happy with the solution and give it some time. There is a lot of support available to ensure you make the most of GitHub before spending money. Although one you get into it you will find it great.

Minpunten: There isn't much I don't like, yes it took a little to get into the swing of it but there is so much books or online support that it doesn't take too long.
