GitHub Inc. Reviews & Product Details

The richest ecosystem in the world in terms of coding. The vast majority of our team members are familiar with Git workflows and the Github interface that's on top of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Several useful features are behind a team paywall. It is sometimes cumbersome to isolate a users default profile from company information, as most join with a personal profile or are required to create an entirely new one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about GitHub is how reliable and well organized it is for managing code. Pushing and pulling changes, working with branches, and reviewing code through pull requests all feel smooth and structured. It makes collaboration easy and keeps the entire development history transparent and accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some advanced features and settings can feel a bit overwhelming for new users at first. However, this mainly comes from how powerful and feature-rich the platform is. Once you become familiar with it, the workflow becomes very efficient and easy to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's no longer just a code repository; it's a complete developer platform. I love how GitHub Actions seamlessly integrates CI/CD right next to the code, eliminating the need for external build servers. Adding features like Copilot and Dependabot means we have coding assistance, security scanning, and automation all in one unified ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing structure for advanced features can get steep. While the core product is great, features like 'GitHub Advanced Security' and 'Codespaces' are billed as separate, expensive add-ons. For a mid-sized organization, managing these fragmented costs and forecasting the bill for CI/CD minutes can be a complex headache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub lets me push, pull, create branches, and manage different versions of my software. I can access it through the mobile app or the web app, which makes it convenient to use wherever I am. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that Copilot only uses 80GB of RAM bothers me. Alexa Plus uses 96GB, and Grok uses 128GB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As the industry standard for collaboration it does not disappoint. I like how it makes it easy for teams to collaborate by integrating code reviews and pull requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the fact that it has a repository size limit and while public repositories are free, advanced features and some security tools require payment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Github is the best and widely used for the repo hosting. Our company has implemented and integrated a lot of its project on Github. It is fairy very easy to use with the commands or through extensions in the IDE. I am using Github almost everyday in my task. Have not used customer support at all as there was never a need for that Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only drawback I face when using GitHub is with the revert option which can be a bit more controlled as I cannot check or change what all I need to revert if I push the code to the repo and have to discard all the changes to last commit Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing is we can collaborate with anyone even if they are far away.

We can push the changes or pull the changes that are made by the other person which makes it very useful. We can also deploy our websites and host it using GitHub deployments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I haven’t found anything bad about GitHub. I’ve been using it for the past 6 years, and my experience has been consistently positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What stands out most about GitHub is how effectively it makes collaboration around code feel natural and organized. It takes something that could be messy—multiple people working on the same codebase—and structures it with tools like pull requests, code reviews, and issue tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside of GitHub is that it can feel a bit complex and unintuitive at times, especially for beginners. Concepts like branching, rebasing, and pull requests are already hard to grasp, and GitHub’s interface doesn’t always make them easier to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub provides an excellent platform for code collaboration, version control, and project management. Features like pull requests, code reviews, issue tracking, and GitHub Actions streamline development workflows and enable smooth collaboration among distributed teams. The UI is intuitive, and integrations with CI/CD, cloud platforms, and third-party tools make it an essential part of modern development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Advanced features such as enhanced security tools and enterprise-level analytics can be costly for smaller teams. Some workflows, especially for large repositories, can become complex to manage, and notification settings can sometimes be overwhelming without careful configuration.

Github is great for storing and sharing code as well as documentation regarding it. Support on utilizing it has also been quick and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI/UX is a bit complicated for those that are not technical but need to utilize the code repository (such as for example taking and running the code in other places) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
