"Effortless Project Migration with GitHub."
5/5

It connects my projects so an effortless migration can be done. I am very thankful for GitHub for helping me do this in such an effective way where I can still use Replit to update my app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

I have found nothing so far that I do not like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Benefits and Problems Solved - GitHub"
5/5
What do you like best about GitHub?

What I like most about GitHub is how easy it makes collaboration and version control. It helps teams manage code, track changes over time, review pull requests, and work together efficiently without losing context. I also appreciate how organized and user-friendly the platform feels, which makes it easier to stay on top of projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

When working with branches, pull requests, and merge conflicts, things can sometimes feel a bit harder to manage. The interface can also become a little overwhelming when a repository has a lot of issues, pull requests, and notifications, which makes it easier to miss what needs attention.

"GitHub: The Best Platform for Managing and Showcasing Projects"
5/5
What do you like best about GitHub?

GitHub is the best platform for managing software projects and showcasing them. Most companies ask for your GitHub before they even ask who you are, and that really shows how important it is. On top of that, other projects and initiatives like GitHub for Students, GitHub Codespaces, and agents are real lifesavers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Honestly, I don’t see any real downside to GitHub overall t’s simply the best. That said, the ongoing updates that remove features from GitHub Copilot for students are a bit disappointing, even if I understand why it happens and it does make sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-Use GitHub with Powerful Actions and Workflow Automation"
4/5
What do you like best about GitHub?

Everything is on Github... well, almost everything. Almost every open source project, people's pet projects, the work that I do for various companies... it makes it a little bit similar to how Google Docs/Workspace is everywhere now, so the tools I am used to using in my personal life are also the same tools I use at work.

Github is easy to use, I'm very familiar with how to SSH, it's moderately simple to change my git user so I can attribute work differently to my various personas. Github actions is also very easy to use, and the cron feature is excellent, which helps me automate many workflows.

I use Github every workday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Github has been very flaky recently, to the point where it feels like there is some sort of Github outage every week. This is problematic because it interferes with our releases, all of our CI is tied into github actions at the moment.

They've also begun changing the UI and now the code review tool feels a lot slower.

Particularly annoying is when an outage doesn't just affect CI, but affects pushing or pulling... that halts all productivity rather than just halting releases. Annoying! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Code Collaboration and Version Control with GitHub"
4/5
What do you like best about GitHub?

I use GitHub regularly for freelance web development projects, MCA academic work, and collaborative coding tasks. It helps me manage repositories, track code changes, maintain backups, and organize project versions efficiently. I mainly use GitHub with VS Code while working on frontend and backend development projects.

The branching and commit history features are especially useful when testing new updates or fixing bugs without affecting the main project. I also use GitHub to store project documentation, collaborate on shared code, and manage deployment-related workflows. The platform feels reliable for both personal and professional development work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

For new users, some advanced Git workflows like rebasing, resolving merge conflicts, and managing multiple branches can feel confusing at first. Large repositories can also become difficult to navigate if projects are not organized properly. However, after regular use, the workflow becomes much easier to understand.

"All-in-One Version Control and Collaboration Made Easy"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GitHub?

What I like best about GitHub is the way it combines version control, collaboration, and project organization in one place. It makes it easy to track changes, review code through pull requests, and work with others on the same project without losing the history of what happened. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

What I dislike most about GitHub is that it can feel cluttered and overwhelming, especially when you’re juggling issues, pull requests, notifications, and project boards at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust Code Management and Seamless Pull Requests with Powerful Integrations"
5/5
What do you like best about GitHub?

I appreciate GitHub for its robust code management across environments and its seamless pull request workflow. The platform offers near real-time updates when code is reviewed, approved, and merged, which improves collaboration efficiency. Additionally, its strong integrations with tools like Databricks, GitHub Copilot, PyCharm, and VS Code enhance overall developer productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

There is very little I dislike about GitHub overall; however, the repeated need to configure or refresh authentication tokens can occasionally be inconvenient and disruptive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Backend storage for Apiary APIs"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GitHub?

Using GitHub for storage was simple to use and up all the time. It was easy to set up and get started with commits of new APIs version while keeping it easy to update new version over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Not much to dislike as the system was performing as expected. Maybe we could get a security related error code instead of 404 when the URI is defined, but you do not have access, like with https://github.com/apiaryio/documentation-service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Version Control at Its Best: Secure, Collaborative, CI/CD-Ready"
5/5
What do you like best about GitHub?

Version control at its best, collaboration at its peak, secure and fully integrated for CI/CD, and it makes it easy to find any kind of application you’re looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Finding a colleague or another user is always troublesome. I can’t seem to locate a colleague when I need to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Collaboration Made Easy with GitHub"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GitHub?

I use GitHub to store my code and access or review it whenever I want. I like that my friends can see my projects and contribute, which helps my projects grow. I really like the repository feature and the fact that multiple people can work on one project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

I think there should be a code sharing feature that I would love to add if I want to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How to do proper versioning in the system? The main part in branching is a little confusing.
