"A Reliable and Easy-to-Use Repository Platform"
What do you like best about GitHub?

I use GitHub for uploading repositories for projects or making a webpage. I like having access to various other projects; for instance, I recently searched for a repository that's an online NDA emulator. I appreciate the variety of access and that it's free to view. Making webpages is easy, and all I need to do is prepare a good HTML. I value features like creating repositories and file upload. The initial setup was easy with a fair guide to beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

The system for bulk upload is purely CLI. If it was a UI system that had a workaround for bulk upload of large size, it would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Github stands out as one of the most robust platforms available today.

It may not be the most budget-friendly option because of its high enterprise pricing. The project management features are quite basic, and the advanced search functionality could use some improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
