"Easy Collaboration, Streamlined Issue Tracking"
What do you like best about GitHub?

I use GitHub for issue tracking and project boards, which help manage bugs, features, and tasks alongside the codebase. GitHub solves my issues by logging bugs, feature requests, and tasks and linking them to branches and pull requests, giving every problem a clear fix history. I like the easy collaboration feature with pull requests, code reviews, issues, and project boards that let teams work together smoothly from anywhere. The open-source community vibe is great; I enjoy collaborating with strangers worldwide to fix real tools we use and see our changes merged. GitHub’s initial setup is quite easy, creating an account and our first repository usually takes only a few minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

It is an amazing tool and community, but it should not define someone’s worth as a programmer on its own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Code collaboration and CI/CD platform"

"The most reliable platform for version control and collaboration"
What do you like best about GitHub?

GitHub makes collaboration seamless with pull requests, code reviews, and branching strategies. The integration with CI/CD pipelines and Actions is extremely helpful, saving a lot of manual effort. Its huge open-source community and marketplace provide endless resources and integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Some advanced features (like GitHub Enterprise or security scanning) are behind higher pricing tiers, which may not be affordable for smaller teams. The web UI can feel a little slow at times for large repositories, and managing complex permission structures could be more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Tool for Developers and Teams"
What do you like best about GitHub?

The tool is valuable because it helps us work in a distributed environment with multiple people across different locations and time zones. We have a common repository that everyone works on, which would be tough to manage manually. GitHub helps us maintain this single source of truth. Everyone can check out their own branches, which is important for our branching strategies. We can fork, check out feature branches, work on our code, and merge back into parent branches for deployment. This is crucial when multiple people are working on the same codebase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

I haven’t encountered any major issues so far. The platform works smoothly and reliably. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Repo Access and Clear Project Visibility for the Team"
What do you like best about GitHub?

Easy access to repos, a clean view of project work, and simple sharing across the team for better visibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Navigating can be confusing at times when I’m trying to find specific files. Following the history of code changes can be confusing as well, although that may be more down to how the projects are designed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CI build powerful&& Mange repository"
What do you like best about GitHub?

Github manages the project as repository. And GitHub cicd build is powerfull. Helps to use CI pipelines.

Pull Requests & Code Review – Smooth collaboration for open source and teams.

GitHub Actions – Automate CI/CD, testing, and deployments.

Issues & Projects – Great for tracking bugs, features, and project planning.

Dependabot – Automatic dependency updates with security alerts.

GitHub Copilot – AI-powered code suggestions.

Profile README – Lets you showcase yourself or your projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

Limited project management – GitHub Projects is okay, but not as powerful as Jira, Trello, or full-featured PM tools.

Dependence on Git – Beginners often find Git commands confusing, and GitHub doesn’t fully hide that complexity.

Performance issues on huge repos – Large monorepos or binary-heavy projects can slow down.

Code search (until recently) – The old search was limited; even with the new semantic/code search, it still isn’t perfect. 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.
