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.

Well integrated, robust, quick and easy to install
Pros and Cons
  • "I believe it is beneficial to maintain a detailed log or history of who did what to a project and which user committed to the change."
  • "More security is always welcome in my opinion."

What is our primary use case?

We use Git for version control for programs. 

To have programming projects and keeping track of the copays is always it's always nice to have to be able to reverse changes if they don't work.

I am doing my CV and I am also tracking it with GIt.

What is most valuable?

I believe it is beneficial to maintain a detailed log or history of who did what to a project and which user committed to the change.

The program is run from your shell and I am comfortable with that.

What needs improvement?

You have Git Lab as a platform, which is just Git with a web interface. I believe that is already well integrated.

More security is always welcome in my opinion.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Git for two years. I use it occasionally.

I am working with the most recent version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I don't believe they offer technical support.

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

I have used Confluence and Jira from Atlassian.

It doesn't take very long to deploy it, a few seconds. It's a single connection.

What about the implementation team?

It can be deployed by anyone who is using it.

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

Git is completely free.

Branch Management is helpful, but the GUI needs to be improved to make it more usable
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of this solution is the branch management functionality."
  • "The GUI needs to be improved."

We are using the open-source version, which is available free of charge.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did not evaluate other options before choosing this one.

What other advice do I have?
