The Best Tool for Version Control and Team Projects & also for Opensource projects **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ankan S. | Full Stack Engineer, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Source: Organic Review from User Profile:** Invitation from G2. This reviewer was not provided any incentive by G2 for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2025 **What do you like best about GitHub?** GitHub has phenomenal ease of use due to its clean user interface and intuitive navigation. It's easy for beginners to get started, and has a short learning curve for experienced developers. The setup process is easy and allows you to create a project and integrate it with Git in no time. GitHub is a part of my weekly workflow for version control and code collaboration, and project management. GitHub provides a wealth of features including pull requests, actions, issue tracking, discussions, etc., that allow the team to stay productive. GitHub integrates seamlessly with a variety of other tools, be it Slack, CI/CD, Trello, and many others. The ease of onboarding customers has limited direct customer support, but after testing and using the platform, the active community and documentation makes it easy to fix most user issues. **What do you dislike about GitHub?** GitHub is arguably the best platform, however, as a beginner, I felt overwhelmed by some of the functions GitHub offered and the complexities of getting started with Git. For example, the interface feels cluttered with too much going on at times. Private repositories and team features were also limited on the free plan, and responses from customer support for free users took forever at times. GitHub also did not handle monorepos efficiently, nor did it handle binary files when leveraging Git LFS. Some integrations added additional setup times to be useful, and I feel the project board experience is shallow compared to dedicated tools like Jira or Trello. All that goes to say, I think it is a fantastic tool, but GitHub has room to improve the usability, flexibility, pricing models, and performance at the enterprise scale. **What problems is GitHub solving and how is that benefiting you?** GitHub addresses the problems of collaboration, version control and code management by bringing a group of people to work together from one place, in an efficient and organized way. Code reviews, issue management and pull requests, are all captured within GitHub, with easy-to-find histories of changes and history. Automating workflows with GitHub Actions (for workflows such as testing and deployment) is easy as well. In addition to all of the benefit possibilities from GitHub alone, its integrations with services and cloud platforms provide a streamlined development experience. It has increased my productivity, ensured code quality and simplified communication with my team—whether I am working alone or with many people. With everything in one location—from documentation, all the way to CI/CD—it has saved me time and helped me keep my project organized and scalable. ### 17.

Despite its vast number of features, the integration with other tools is seamless, and on the rare occasion I need it, the customer support is fantastic. **What do you dislike about GitHub?** Discovering interesting new projects or people can be harder than it should be, as the explore features aren't its strongest point. **What problems is GitHub solving and how is that benefiting you?** The main problem GitHub solves is the chaos of coding alone or in a team. Before, keeping track of file versions was a nightmare like "project_final_v2_really_final.doc" and collaborating meant emailing code back and forth. ### 20.

I never worry about accidentally deleting or deleting critical code. If something goes wrong, I just go back to an earlier version and that’s it. When I need to test something without changing the main code, the ability to deal with branches has saved me more than once. By using code reviews and pull requests, we can keep our workflow organized, make changes in real time, and comment on individual lines. Reviewing, commenting and suggesting changes to my coworkers' code directly on pull requests is a fantastic example of team collaboration. Thanks to GitHub, I no longer have coding errors and the quality of our code has increased. **What do you dislike about GitHub?** For those who are not familiar with Git, at first, the learning curve can be a bit high. I still remember the first time I tried to set up a workflow using GitHub Actions, at that point programming was not my priority; I spent more time reading documentation. **What problems is GitHub solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our entire development process now runs on GitHub. We can communicate without accidentally overwriting files, all changes are well documented, and the code is never lost because we use it. We can locate the source of a production issue because GitHub recorded every change we made. Without any drama, we simply examine the confirmations, identify the problem and solve it. It has also been very helpful for our security, we guarantee that there are no safety failures or defects in production, we do code reviews for each extraction request. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages considerably, despite some minor problems such as learning curve and limited integrations. ### 48.
