"Practicality and Control with GitHub"
What do you like best about GitHub?

I really like the practicality of GitHub and its interface, which makes it easy to use. I also love how it integrates with IntelliJ IDEA, providing us with an excellent integration interface to use GitHub seamlessly. I appreciate that my team members can always access the projects, in addition to having authoritative control within the organization. The GitHub history system is also something we use regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

I think the topic of tokens could be a bit clearer. I'm not saying it's bad when they are generated, but they should have some kind of lock to only allow access for a certain number of days for collaborators, since we work in sprints for projects and also need to have that access control.

"Easy, Problem-Free Code Submissions"
What do you like best about GitHub?

You can submit code easier and with out problems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

You need to know the comments because you can create a lot of branches, which is not good; your code can be changed if you do not use the right comments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Collaboration and Code Management, But Can Be Tricky for Beginners"
What do you like best about GitHub?

I like GitHub because it makes it really easy to store my code, track every change, and collaborate with other developers in a clean and organized way. I can create branches, open pull requests, review code, and merge updates without worrying about losing work or overriding someone else’s changes. It also keeps a full history of commits, so I can always roll back if something goes wrong. Another thing I like is that everything is backed up in the cloud, so I can access my projects from any device, and I don’t have to rely on local backups. Plus, the integrations with CI/CD, issue tracking, and project boards make it more than just a code repository — it becomes a full workflow tool for development. Overall, GitHub makes teamwork smoother, keeps projects safe, and gives me a professional way to manage code from start to finish Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

One thing I don’t like about GitHub is that some features are limited unless you pay, especially for private repositories and advanced tools. It can also feel a bit complicated for beginners, especially with things like Git commands, merge conflicts, and pull request workflows. Sometimes the interface feels slow or confusing when working with large projects or big code reviews Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GitHub Makes Collaboration Easy and Builds a Recruiter-Trusted Portfolio"
What do you like best about GitHub?

It's the world's biggest social network for code. GitHub makes it incredibly easy to collaborate on projects through pull requests, track bugs with issues, and build a professional portfolio that recruiters actually trust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Steep Learning Curve: Beginners often find Git's command-line interface and complex merge conflicts intimidating.

Security Risks: It’s dangerously easy to accidentally leak sensitive API keys or credentials in public repositories. [ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlines Collaboration with Robust Features"
What do you like best about GitHub?

I use GitHub primarily for source control and collaboration across multiple projects, and I find it very effective. I love how GitHub helps me keep code organized, safe, and collaborative. Its features, like pull requests, CI/CD workflows, and code reviews, make it easier to maintain quality and ship mobile apps with confidence. I really like how GitHub centralizes everything around a project, with issues, discussions, commit history, and releases all in one place. The branch management, clear commit history, and integrations with third-party tools fit naturally into my daily workflow, making it easier to maintain and scale projects over time. Using GitHub with IDEs like VS Code, Android Studio, and Xcode makes committing, reviewing, and resolving conflicts seamless. The initial setup was smooth, and the documentation and tooling were very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Merge conflicts can become hard to resolve in large pull requests, and the review experience can get noisy when many comments and revisions are involved. Additionally, some advanced features and higher CI usage being locked behind paid plans can be restrictive for smaller teams or side projects. Also, for larger or long-running projects, issue and project management can feel limited compared to dedicated tools, especially when tracking complex workflows or dependencies.

"All-in-One DevOps and Automation Made Easy with GitHub"
What do you like best about GitHub?

I makes managing code or Devops related files so simple and even documentation. Everything is in one place and creating the actions and workflows is very easy. Even editing and making quick changes to code is simple, I like all the automation, when creating PR's, I like the new copilot assistance in reviewing, coding and describing PR's and code, it improved our companies performance dramatically and because so many open source communities make use of it, it always simple to find you way around their repos, when needed. I am a huge van of GitHub and how it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

I honestly cant think of anything I dislike about GitHub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Version Control, Needs Better Search & Performance"
What do you like best about GitHub?

I find GitHub easy to use, easy to set up, and beginner-friendly. The fact that it's free is a bonus. It also makes it easy to share the link of a repository, which is essentially the whole folder of a software program, with anyone who is part of the development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

I think GitHub could improve its search accuracy. Also, when dealing with big repositories, it becomes laggy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Collaboration, Powerful Integrations"
What do you like best about GitHub?

I use GitHub to manage, store, and organize my code efficiently. It allows me to track changes and maintain proper version control. I collaborate with others by sharing code, reviewing updates, and fixing issues. GitHub excels at making teamwork feel effortless, with everything flowing naturally through pull requests and code reviews. I appreciate how the issue tracking system keeps projects organized—it's like having a project manager built right into your codebase. The initial setup of GitHub was surprisingly smooth and hassle-free, with creating repositories and connecting Git feeling intuitive. The interface is user-friendly, and the clear, easy-to-follow documentation makes the onboarding experience feel well-designed and welcoming. GitHub really shines when connected to other tools that complete your development workflow, acting as the central hub that connects your entire development ecosystem into one smooth, efficient workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Honestly, GitHub isn't perfect. The interface can be painfully slow with larger projects, and finding specific code or old conversations through search is often frustrating. If you're on multiple active projects, the notifications become completely overwhelming—you'll either drown in alerts or miss something important. The project management tools are okay but nowhere near as good as dedicated platforms, which means you end up juggling multiple tools anyway. The mobile app works for quick checks, but forget about doing any serious code review on your phone. And if you're a small team or solo developer, the pricing can sting a bit, especially when you only need a handful of features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Collaboration and Code Management Made Easy"
What do you like best about GitHub?

Collaboration on codes becomes seamless using version control and the branching functionality offered by GitHub. Pull requests and reviews of codes simplify teamwork. The collaboration becomes organized using integration with CI/CD tools and project management tools. The platform is dependable and widely adopted within the developer community. In general, it provides a simpler way for collaboration and managing codes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Handling a large number of repositories might become a challenge. It could be a bit slow sometimes. Certain features require a knowledge of Git commands. It becomes hard to learn at first. Notifications also tend to become a bit cluttered. Certain linkages require further settings to work properly. It all works fine, but these small problems keep cropping up.
