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.

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.

GitHub has essentially become the 'operating system' for my development workflow. What I appreciate most is the seamless integration of GitHub Actions directly within the repository; it makes setting up CI/CD pipelines for my Node.js applications incredibly straightforward without needing external tools like Jenkins. The Pull Request interface is also best-in-class for code reviews the ability to leave line-specific comments and suggest changes directly in the UI significantly speeds up our team's collaboration. Plus, the vast ecosystem of GitHub Marketplace actions saves me hours of manual scripting for deployments to AWS or automated testing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the feature set is massive, the UI is starting to feel quite bloated and cluttered, making it difficult for new team members to find specific repository settings. I also find the notification system frustratingly noisy; even with custom filters, important mentions often get buried under automated bot alerts. Additionally, debugging GitHub Actions can be a tedious 'commit-and-push' cycle because there’s no native, robust way to test complex workflows locally. Lastly, the pricing jump from the 'Team' to 'Enterprise' tier feels steep for mid-sized startups that need advanced security features like SAML SSO Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Out of the many things I like, the GitHub Issues connectivity with the Change Request stands out. I also appreciate how easy it is to implement GitHub Actions, along with the wide variety of deployments that can be performed through GitHub Actions.

Another great feature is GitHub Copilot. It helps me tackle many complex tasks, and I like that it can make modifications and raise a change request directly through Copilot itself, without needing as much manual intervention.

I use this very frequently with all of my projects and have a very smooth experience.

I initially used some other tool, but then migrated to Github and the integration and onboarding was very easy and smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn’t describe this as something I dislike, but it can be challenging to learn as a new beginner. For example, when a project has multiple microservices in a single Git repo, setting up GitHub worktrees can become tricky. This is especially true when there are microservice-level configuration files that may differ depending on the branch you’re working on. There may be a solution for this, but I’ve found it a bit difficult to work with so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of code maintenance, standard procedures, everything at one place, enough options to do what I need.

What I like best about GitHub is how it combines version control, collaboration, and CI/CD into one seamless platform. The pull request workflow, issue tracking, and integrations make teamwork and code reviews efficient. It’s become the central hub for managing projects from idea to deployment.

Setup on.local, issues are not categorised in the best way, vauge filters are used, tough to find the issue I'm searching for, e.g..The UI can feel cluttered and some advanced features are hidden behind multiple menus, which slows down navigation. Pricing for private repos and advanced CI/CD minutes can also become expensive for teams. Occasionally, large repos or Actions pipelines feel slower than expected.

What I like most about GitHub is that it centralizes the entire development cycle in one place. It's not just a Git repository: it also functions as a collaboration and automation platform. Pull Requests, with a structured code review, elevate code quality and require you to justify technical decisions before integrating changes. GitHub Actions allows you to incorporate CI/CD directly into the repository, which simplifies automated testing, builds, and deployments without relying on external tools. I also value the clear management of branches, branch protection, and permission control, because they help maintain standards when working with large teams. In both personal and professional projects, GitHub reduces operational friction and improves code traceability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub can become complex when working with large teams if workflows are not clearly defined. Setting permissions, protected branches, and Actions is not always intuitive, and sometimes it's difficult to find the right way to get everything properly adjusted. Additionally, some more advanced features depend on paid plans, which can end up limiting small teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub makes collaboration seamless, version control clear, automation powerful, and community driven innovation accessible while solving problems of code sharing, workflow management, and project transparency, though its complexity can be daunting at first.

What frustrates me about GitHub is how its simplicity hides steep learning curves. Git concepts like rebasing, resolving merge conflicts, and managing forks can overwhelm newcomers, private repos and advanced features are locked behind paid tiers, the interface sometimes feels cluttered with notifications and endless pull requests, and large projects can suffer from slow performance or confusing issue tracking.

GitHub provides an excellent balance between usability and advanced functionality, which makes collaboration extremely smooth for development teams. The pull request and code review process is very structured, enabling better quality control and accountability before any changes are merged. GitHub Actions is another major advantage; it allows us to automate testing, deployments, and workflows without relying on third-party tools. The integration ecosystem is also strong, with seamless connectivity to CI/CD platforms, project management tools, and cloud services. Overall, GitHub feels like a central hub for software development, version control, and team collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While GitHub is highly capable, the platform does come with a learning curve for new or non-technical users, especially those unfamiliar with version control concepts. Repository permission management can be slightly complex in larger teams, and configuring the correct access structure sometimes requires trial and error. GitHub Actions is powerful, but more detailed templates or onboarding resources would help accelerate setup for beginners. These challenges are not deal-breakers, but they are areas where usability could be improved to better support new adopters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like using GitHub because it makes it super easy to keep code tidy and neat and work with others in one place. It's my go-to for code hosting, and I use GitHub every day. GitHub helps me see the changes I make and collaborate easily with others on my projects. I appreciate that it keeps all my code and project history in one place, which is crucial for avoiding confusion when working with others. GitHub also integrates well with my code editor, like Visual Studio Code, and supports features like pull requests to push changes directly. It's really useful for hosting my code and keeping everything organized, making my work easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitHub is very useful but the interface and Git concepts can be confusing at first. There are options and menus so it sometimes takes me a while to find what I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
