"Github Platform for software version & Open source project development."

Github implementation in the organization's workflow eases the workflow. GitHub has good Customer support for all users. I like Github's code review bots follow the best industry practice. GitHub easily integrates with any organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best version management tool in market"
What do you like best about GitHub?

Github helps dev teams to work collaboratively. Each developer can continuously push commits, pull uodated code and manage version very easily. The release management feature wherein we can use release branch and tags is very helpful for dev team to make sure application are version managed and it is seemless to revert a release in case anything goes wrong Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub?

The documentation that github orovides is quite extensive. It is sometimes very difficult to go through entire documentation for small issues. I think they can make a summary view of each documentation 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.
