GitHub

Pros

It is a one of the best platform to store the code and allow team members to work on same project simultaneously without having conflicts.

Cons

As I used git hub to store my store far more there was no cons I got for it, It was very easy to learn just had little tricky to understand UI to resolve conflicts which issue was resolved in git desktop (application of git hub).

Pros

My favourite features of Github are:
- "issues" to track and discuss feature requests and bugs
- pull requests to propose changes and discuss them in comments by dedicated UI
- github actions for automatic deployment and continuous integration
- "Projects" form project management

Cons

I can't find anything that doesn't fit my current workflow and my team's one.

Pros

Nothing. I couldn't figure out how to use it.

Cons

It was very confusing - once I logged in, I could go no further

Pros

The collaborative tools are excellent, and version control is seamless. Its also incredibly user-friendly for both individuals and teams

Cons

Overall, pricing may get a little bit shady sometimes in the sense of hiding features behind enterprise plan. Sometimes its really difficult to understand whats included in the plan and whats not. And generally it disappoints in this sense, because some basic features are just blocked meaningless and you just have to upgrade

Reasons for Switching to GitHub

Pros

The thing I like most about GitHub is its open source capabilities and also that multiple people can work on same code with the help of pull requests

Cons

The thing I don't like about GitHub is that it is not completely safe for important codes as it is mainly an Open source.

Pros

This is best version control i used till now.

Cons

I don't have anything to dislike in this github.

Pros

GitHub's intuitive interface, seamless collaboration features, and excellent version control system make it an indispensable tool for developers. The vast community and access to open-source projects are incredible bonuses.

Cons

There’s not much to dislike. However, some advanced features might feel overwhelming to beginners initially.

Pros

I like github actions marketplace and the ease of use of the platform

Cons

You don't have full control on PR (e.g. you can't delete them)

Pros

Its collaboration team help us working together on the same project which increase our productivity. For learning prospective i always prefer GitHub because of its user friendly interface.

Cons

For a beginner level person its steep to understand. With time he/she will understand the concepts as well.

Pros

Great thing about github is it simplifies the collaboration and branching with pull requests, issue tracking and its really easy to use with.
With github action we can even automate our code deployment process too and its really easy to work with and you never have to worry about those deployment processes.

Cons

The thing with github pull requests are they sometimes show more files changes then the actual but its rare and we can work around it , otherthan that everything is fine.

Pros

It's free and very easy to use; Plus it's supported practically everywhere.

Cons

None I've identified. Pleasantly surprised Microsoft didn't ruin it after acquiring it.

Pros

It works. Fast and on Mac OS, Windows and Linux. Integrated nicely into both Visual Studio Code (PC, Mac) and Visual Studio (PC).
Code compare. Merge. No problems.

Cons

It starts to eat disk space and 50Gbyte gone the other day. Some more integrated cleaning would be great.

Pros

Great for being able to debug issues where logs are limited in your provided with an error message that's a trace back branches commits easy to track down

Cons

Interface can be confusing there's a bit of a learning curve of as well of using github through cli

Pros

As a web manager with two years of experience in Indonesia's hospitality and F&B industry, I primarily use WordPress that uses JavaScript and sometimes I made my own Python scripts. GitHub's version control has been a standout feature for me. It eliminates the need for multiple file versions and allows easy rollbacks when errors occur. The collaboration features are excellent, especially when working with team members across different Indonesian cities. Additionally, the vast GitHub community and its open-source projects have been invaluable resources, offering solutions that we can adapt to our local market.

Cons

The initial learning curve with Git terminology and workflows was challenging, particularly for team members more versed in hospitality than coding. Onboarding took longer than anticipated. While GitHub excels for managing code, it's less intuitive for non-code assets like restaurant menu designs or hotel brochures, which are crucial in our industry. Lastly, for simple WordPress theme tweaks, GitHub can sometimes feel overly complex.

Pros

Github is a very good source control and version control system. Here developers can create free repositories that's make a good impression because they easily maintaining theirs code source. If someone needs they can purchase the paid packages.

Cons

I basically don't get any cons about github because i am using it's more then 8+ years. I think git conflicts documentation and resolve commands should also integrate with basic commands note.

Pros

What I appreciate most about GitHub is its robust ecosystem for collaboration and version control. As the owner of Prisma, a web development agency, the platform's intuitive interface and extensive repository management capabilities have been instrumental in streamlining our workflows. The ability to review code, manage projects, and collaborate on software development projects in real-time has significantly enhanced our productivity and quality of output. GitHub's integration with various development tools and its strong community support are invaluable for staying at the forefront of web technology trends.

Cons

While GitHub offers an extensive range of features, its learning curve can be steep for newcomers, particularly for those not familiar with Git commands or version control concepts. This aspect can slow down the initial adoption and integration into a team's workflow. Additionally, for private repositories and advanced features, the cost can escalate quickly for smaller agencies or individual developers, making it less accessible for those with limited budgets.

Pros

Copilot is amazing. Github makes repository access and version control very easy. Also love how many addons and integrations are available. PR reviews is also easier with split views. Search is also the best. It also goes through the code and often finds references and definitions of a function.

Cons

Sometimes the PR review view is tricky and bubbles up under a wrong name making it tougher to make sense of where the code is written if it's a large file.

Pros

It's great platform for app development, I have always used this for that and accessing other amazing projects.

Cons

Nothing so far. It's really great to use

Pros

The most I like about Github is Repository CRUD. I always use Github for my projects and create repository on Github and collaborate with my colleagues. It's really awesome. My working process is easy and fast due to Github.

Cons

The least I like about Github is Git merging. It was stuck something when I want to merge with my colleagues's branches like rebase. I can't push and pull at that time. I think it needs to fix it later.

Pros

The best part about github is its extensive open-source community which makes it easy to find and contribute to projects across various programming languages and frameworks.

Cons

Its a bit complex for begineers to learn.

Pros

Integration of AI if necessary, you are able to create your own websites and even add your own domain, you can have different versions of your project, you can integrate GitHub with Git, VS Code, IntelliJ IDEA and more.

Cons

The only think that I "don't like" is that you cannot publish private websites on GitHub, this is only possible on the paid version (GitHub pro). But if you don't have any issues publishing your project to the public, then this will not affect you.

Pros

They changed there UI this year and it kind of has a dark mode feature which I love also there the ease of usage especially for beginners.

Cons

Well for this I'll say their pricing plan, it normal but can still be reviewed for easy access to Pro features

Pros

You can setup a repository for your code and collaborate with other developers throughout the world. With Github I can showcase my work so that I can attract recruiters. It is a social media for developers. I can also look for open-source code to learn and contribute to.

Cons

There is a learning curve to setup a repository and collaborate. People may also find it difficult to navigate through the app with so many features. Integrating with external tools to enable automation also takes a lot of effort.

Pros

Easy to use even through other softwares like IDE for eg: VS Code, It has extentions to easily manage and manupulate data in my repo effortlessly

Cons

As of now i haven't had anything which i dont like in github

Pros

Github is most popular Version Control Tool. So there are plenty of content available to get started & use it. Most of open source project are on github. It's completely free so anyone can use. You can use github for open source contributions also.

Cons

Github cahnged the authentication mechanism to commit using only tokens not from the passwords, so a new user might face difficulties.
There's not much regulation in the github which might can be used for wrongful purpose. The CI/CD as github action needs more updates, also due complex yaml syntax it can be difficult to use.

Pros

Lot of features, really nice UI & UX, lots of integrations which provide lot of value. CI&CD - Github actions is really great, project management inside Github repository.
For smaller projects the pricing is friendly. And I would say its user friendly.

Cons

Pricing is really big con for bigger organizations, cloud gets expensive here, and I am not even mentioning premium features. Github project management is really simple here, not many features, but for simple and small projects its sufficient.

Reasons for Switching to GitHub

Pros

Github has a ton of features. I've previously used SVN and Github is miles ahead of SVN as far as features. SVN has long been touted as "simpler" but it's actually very easy to have a simple workflow with Github as well but if you need more features you can get them. If you think of something you need you can google it and it probably already exists on Github.

Cons

Anything past a basic setup can take a very long time to learn. I've been using it for years and years and I'm still always having to learn new things about it.

Pros

Simple, easy to understand, good to go tool for any project you are working on. The repository are available on a public and private basis. People come together to collaborate to any project

Cons

There are merge conflicts happening sometimes, bit tedious at that point. Also the command line interface could have been better

Pros

This is basically the default Git hosting for software engineering. Tooling and workflows are top notch, and generally well supported with lots of information available online.

Cons

Github lacks some enterprise features, and have had some security issues (the recent outage, hacks for faking repo stars).

Reasons for Switching to GitHub

Pros

Source Control is the most I like in GitHub. When we work with team, source control is important. All of team members will be pushed their codes at the same branches. If I am owner of project I will look up their code and accept their pull requests.Github's source control is easy to use to combine codes from each member. This is the one I like Github.

Cons

I think Authentication. I am a software developer and I use VS code as IDE.Github can authenticate with VS code. I have to GitHub account, one for personal and one for office work. When I was changed my personal to work account or vice visa, I'm faced with some issue that is git conflict among two accounts.I am worked with my office account, but in authentication, my account is still personal account. I think this part is needed to update about Github. This one is I like least about Github.

Pros

Almost everything is free, user interface is very easy to use/understand.
I love the community support too, a lot of developers are giving some open source products on this website

Cons

Some basic features like the ability to create categories to organize repositories is missing. It is a very annoying problem and a lot of people asks to implement it since many years but GitHub does not say anything about it

Pros

Main pros of GitHub includes collaboration, version control which tracks changes in codes and open source nature of GitHub which hosts numerous open source projects which creates a vibrant developer community

Cons

The primary issue for me was the learning curve when I was initially starting out as a developer and its complexity regarding managing branches, resolving conflicts and the need of constant planning and coordination in order to properly use the system and its features.

Pros

How it makes it more easier for developers.

Cons

It was hard at first understand commands, but now It’s easier.

Pros

I love that sense of simplicity, Github provides a lot of features that helps me organize my code versioning

Cons

At first i was confused about how it works, so I would like to see a simple guide at the beginning of an account

Pros

GitHub allows version control using Git, collaboration features to co-work with other teammates, working with open-source projects, hosting (for pages) and documentation.

Cons

For new starters, GitHub might be too complex due to having several features, people interested in hosting websites with GitHub pages cannot make their repositories private unless they use GitHub Pro.

Reasons for Switching to GitHub

Pros

Git hub provides you a platform to maintain your portfolio and your project all together. It also help in improving your CV for searching for jobs.
It helps you track your project involvement record. We can also use other persons project codes to help our projects.

Cons

Many a times private project are meant to be shared, and we cannot even ask to pull the code.

Pros

Github is free to use anyone can easily use to for storing their code tracking it. It's easy to use. With authentication using token only you can push your code to the github repository which provides more security. Most of the open source projects are on the github which makes it first choice for any developer.

Cons

As it is free to use and there is not much regularity in github which can be misused. The continuous integration & continuous deployment feature needs to be improved.

Pros

GitHub facilitates collaborative development by providing a platform for version control, collaboration, and code review. Multiple contributors can work on the same project simultaneously, contributing to a more efficient and organized development process.

Cons

GitHub heavily relies on internet connectivity. While Git itself supports offline work, certain GitHub-specific features and workflows are limited without an internet connection.

Pros

It provide the free repos.
It provide more advance feature with github copilot which help in auto completing code and provider various support.
It provide merge confit feature which can solve by the portal easily.
Github Pages provide free hosting for the developer which standout this form the market.
GitHub Actions which provide continues integration and Deployment with triggers, secret config. it fill the gap between development and Deployment.
It can connect with any cloud provider tool for deployment like azure for web app, aks, function apps etc.

Cons

In GitHub action writing script is difficult then the other tools like yaml script.
in this script it does not provide UI to select the for pipeline.
Finding task for pipeline is very difficult.

Pros

It’s the most basic choice for a reason. Great, free in most cases, and provides great customization. I love github, I use it everyday, and I would recommend it over bitbucket, gitlab, etc. It provides a whole new experience. Almost like a social media VCS.

Cons

Honestly I don’t have any complaints to share. Github is just my favorite.

If you are running CI and making lots of commits you might want to turn it off, or only turn it on for PRs.

Pros

- Ease-of-use
- Simple yet powerful UI
- Low price
- GitHub Student Developer Pack
- Wide Community that is eager to help
- Documentation and tons of guides
- Great support

Cons

- Nothing really comes to my mind, overall it's just great.

Reasons for Switching to GitHub

Pros

Even for a non technical person, easy to navigate through the different directories for a particular repository. Easy to know where to clone or download the content.

Cons

Sometimes moving from branch to branch can be tricky. It's not always clear on which branch one is currently in unless we inspect the whole page. Specially on the dark theme, texts are not always properly visible.

Pros

What we like most is the private online repository accessible to our team users so that they can save all our applications and have them on hand by creation date. This order is essential when a newer version generates an existential error and allows us to return to a previous version without having to deconfigure everything again, has helped us a lot in this sense.

Cons

Simultaneous collaboration between several engineers and we are talking about a team of 20 people is very slow, I think that Github should improve this problem, which I believe is due to an inability to perform tasks on its server.

Pros

The ease of version control, the ability to track changes, and also the seamless way it allows multiple people to work on the same project. The availability of open-source projects and the ability to learn from others' code, is also a huge plus. It helped me a lot in my research.

Cons

It can be a learning curve for beginners. The interface can be a bit overwhelming at first, especially for those who are new to version control or command-line tools. Also, navigating through large projects with many branches and pull requests can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Pros

It is the primary and well-known version control option in the industry. You will always find an easy tutorial to set up anything you need, from fundamental to expert courses, since everyone knows about it and has used it at least at some point, so we are all well aware of its importance.

Most technologies and web applications can integrate with it. Using some CLI commands and simple yet powerful configuration files, you can set up a complete CI/CD pipeline in seconds. It is really an excellent option overall.

Cons

It might be intimidating at first, and for nontech professionals, it might seem something that might as well be in a different language because there is not an easy onboarding process to understand its structure, purpose, or level of abstraction. It might require some guidance initially, but once that learning curve is surpassed, it will become something easy to relate to.

Pros

It is very easy to collaborate and work on code changes, publish releases, and run automation scripts. The UI is fast and they are improving it constantly making it quick and efficient to navigate to the repository and even the file you want.

Cons

My biggest gripe about GitHub is the billing. You have to buy a fixed number of seats and you can only increment it in 10s. So, even if you need just one extra user, you still have to pay for 10. It also takes a long time (2-3 days, more in some cases) to get the licenses added. I can't even process why this is the case. I would much rather have preferred usage billing.
