User-friendly, easy to install, reliable, and effective project management
Pros and Cons
  • "Version control is beneficial as it allows me to keep track of all the modifications I have made to the applications."
  • "It would be preferable if the updates could be completed at a faster pace."

What is our primary use case?

I use Git to manage my personal projects involving web basics, web design, and web pages. I am able to clone most things using Git.

I use it for web design version control. I also conduct a lot of research on open-source technologies that we can install using Git.

I have discovered that most of the solutions offered on Git can also be found on Docker.

How has it helped my organization?

It would be preferable if the updates could be completed at a faster pace.

What is most valuable?

Version control is beneficial as it allows me to keep track of all the modifications I have made to the applications.

What needs improvement?

I have no problems with Git and prefer using the Terminal Point of View for its high speed.

I attempted to use an alternative user interface, but it was too sluggish for me. I discovered that the Terminal is more efficient and rapid for executing events on Linux and Ubuntu. Its swiftness in event deployment is remarkable.

900,644 professionals have used our research since 2012.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Git for three or four years.

I update the versions every now and then.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability of Git a nine out of ten.

Performing periodic updates can be time-consuming, but it is not a significant concern as it doesn't disrupt my schedule. However, I do need to make a conscious effort to initiate the updates.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Git is a scalable solution.

Another advantage is that any team can work on it effortlessly, even large teams, making it highly collaborative.

I am currently using it and there are only a few people who I would like to share my changes with. With the current capability to view the modifications I have made, I am able to open it and see the updates for my team.

I am not planning to increase my usage at this time.

How are customer service and support?

I have not contacted technical support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Ever since I began my training in web and development, it was the easiest platform for me to use and was the only one that was introduced. I did not explore others.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward.

The deployment process was quick for me. I was able to execute it on my personal computer and also clone it to my personal Git account.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I am not required to pay due to the small number of users we have. 

We have a small user base, and we are not using the enterprise version.

What other advice do I have?

I highly recommend others use Git for version control.

Because of its version control, I would rate Git a ten out of ten.

Straightforward setup but not user-friendly
Pros and Cons
  • "The repository management and check-in/check-out commands are the most valuable features for ensuring secure code."
  • "It's not very user-friendly."

What is our primary use case?

Version control and repository management are the main use cases for Git.

What is most valuable?

The repository management and check-in/check-out commands are the most valuable features for ensuring secure code. It's a client-side tool that we install in our local company and connect to the cloud product for use cases.

What needs improvement?

It should be more user-friendly. Git provides important commands for projects. It's not very user-friendly, but it's okay.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for one year. We're using the test version. It's integrated with TSS.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

There are 50-60 users in my company. We use it based on the use case.

How was the initial setup?

It's straightforward. It takes around ten to fifteen minutes to set up.

What about the implementation team?

The deployment can be done in-house. The deployment process is good but there may be a learning curve for some users. However, it could benefit from additional hands-on experience, particularly for enterprise-level usage.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten. I prefer using other tools that are more user-friendly.

Efficiently keep track of changes and maintain control
Pros and Cons
  • "Git has a lot of online tutorials and resources available."
  • "Git removed the credential feature."

What is our primary use case?

The primary use case is to keep track of changes and maintain control, and it helps contain your code and is useful for collaboration.

What is most valuable?

One feature I find valuable is that it's a one-shot solution. Also, every software company has a requirement to use Git.

What needs improvement?

I am trying to understand why they removed the credential because it has been a great feature. But yeah, that's not looking good on me. Moreover, Git should increase security to reduce risk. 

Another improvement could be that it is easy to install but complex to set up.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for ten years. We always use the latest version in our company.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution that has been fine for me for ten years.

I rate the stability a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. Everyone can use it, and there are over 200 uses in my company.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is a bit complex because it is open source.

What about the implementation team?

We deployed it from some commands, which took just a few seconds. It's open source, so there is no need for a consultant.

What other advice do I have?

Many tutorials are available online, and one should search for them and go through them before doing anything.

Overall, I would rate it a ten out of ten.

CLI and GUI-supported; stable and scalable
Pros and Cons
  • "What I find the most valuable about Git is that it is CLI and GUI-supported. People who do not like using the CLI mode can use the GUI mode."
  • "I would rate the initial setup process a four, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the most difficult and 10 being the easiest. The reason for this rating is that once there are conflicts, it takes a lot of effort to resolve them."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is source control and code checking. We used it as version control for collaboration projects. The most important use case is being able to look into the code. Somebody can publish the code publicly in a standard format, which organizes the standard format of code. Then, the team follows the structure of the README file and the code structure.

I also used this solution to make my resume stand out.

What is most valuable?

What I find the most valuable about Git is that it is CLI and GUI-supported. People who do not like using the CLI mode can use the GUI mode. The solution also now comes with the VS (Visual Studio) code. The ID comes with the Git adapter. This is handy, that is why there is wide adoption of Git.

What needs improvement?

We have had a mixed reaction to the newly-introduced code pilot. It improved the coding but was also gave too much to the AI and people are concerned that Git Copilot could result in a lot of job losses.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Git for four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability of this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the scalability of this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Prior to Git, I used TortoiseSVN.

How was the initial setup?

I would rate the initial setup process a four, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the most difficult and 10 being the easiest. The reason for this rating is that once there are conflicts, it takes a lot of effort to resolve them.

What other advice do I have?

For the people looking to use this solution, I would say, go through some of the basic videos and learn the basic commands to get started and then explore more of the features. Get some hands-on experience and collaborate with others to find out more about the solution. 

Overall, I would rate Git a nine, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

An useful and stable version control solution that finishes projects rapidly
Pros and Cons
  • "Code versioning, for example, we work in the branch and want to come back to this branch another time.Git is a very useful tool, helpful to collaborate with other members in the group to finish more rapidly our work."
  • "About the configuration it is a little bit difficult, it can be improved."

What is our primary use case?

The most used case for it is managing code versions when working on a project with many developers. After we merge it, the dash is merged in the master dash. Next, when we merge its branch to replace it with the master and resolve conflicts, we collaborate to finish the project.

What is most valuable?

Code versioning, for example, we work in the branch and want to come back to this branch another time.Git is a very useful tool, helpful to collaborate with other members in the group to finish more rapidly our work.

What needs improvement?

About the configuration it is a little bit difficult, it can be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for the last two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution. Never faced any bugs or glitches. I rate the stability of the solution an eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is not a very scalable solution. It is not a good experience to manage large scalable products. I have moderate experience in managing large projects on Git. One thousand users are using the solution regularly. I rate the scalability of the solution a seven out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of Git can be difficult but once you master the solution it is a useful tool and works on many difficulties by rapidly completing the task.

What other advice do I have?

I advice everyone to learn about Git as it is a very useful solution and help in working on projects more rapidly which otherwise would have taken time. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

A solution useful for creating and uploading codes with ease
Pros and Cons
  • "Git is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
  • "If other people are included in their project, you're going to have to make merge requests to merge the code you made, and the code your colleagues have made. So it's a little bit complicated."

What is our primary use case?

I use Git mainly to create new reports to store my project and to keep track of the changes I made in my code. So these are the main reasons why all people use Git.

How has it helped my organization?

I did use it in my organization as well. I did use it personally, but it was very easy to use it by yourself, especially when you create and upload your code, it's easy. If other people are included in their project, you're going to have to make merge requests to merge the code you made, and the code your colleagues have made. So it's a little bit complicated. So, when I started using it in my organization, It was a bit messy, but I finally got it.

What is most valuable?

Speaking about features, it helps to keep track of your code if it changes, especially to find who made the changes. The solution also makes it easy for other people to change your code.

What needs improvement?

I don't think it does need any improvement for now since Git is a free, open-source project.

To be honest, I didn't even get close to seeing all its current features. So, I can't imagine any new features that I would be able to recommend.

If it was possible to pay for a Git solution, I would pay for it. However, it's difficult in my country. So I mainly enjoy the free solution.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Git for four years. Also, I am using the solution's latest version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Git is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I don't think that it is even possible to count it as a scalable tool.

How are customer service and support?

I never tried to reach tech support.

How was the initial setup?

GitHub and GitLab were pretty good repositories for Git servers. So, I was using the solution on the cloud.

I did not deploy it. I was using already deployed solutions like GitLab and GitHub. I never did even try to deploy it.

What was our ROI?

I think it's a good investment, but I'm using the free version of the solution.

What other advice do I have?

My recommendation to others to use the solution would depend on their usage. If it's for their personal use, it's going to be easy. But if he was going to use it in an organization or for a personal project with a lot of friends or colleagues, then that would be a different story. You need to be concentrated, and I think a lot before making any changes to the code because every mistake can create a lot of problems.

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

I have been using the solution since 2016.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Less than ten people are using the product in our organization.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is not complex.

What about the implementation team?

The deployment can be done in-house. We need one administrator and one developer to maintain and deploy the solution.

What other advice do I have?

The product is mostly used by developers and DevOps teams. Bitbucket is more user-friendly than GitHub. If we have a GitHub account, we can invite users. People wanting to use the product should use the free version and understand the features well before buying the licensed version. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
