GitHub Reviews

GitHub is an excellent platform for organizing all sorts of information. I personally found it beneficial for keeping track of my coding projects, and recommendations, and occasionally making commits. By creating branches, I could easily focus on specific areas and even delve into things like creating my website using GitHub pages. Overall, I found these features to be very practical and advantageous.

In my case, I prefer to keep my repositories public, especially for small-scale organizations that don't require a high level of privacy. I find it useful to maintain a public profile because it allows me to showcase my work whenever I'm looking for a new job or updating my profile. By doing so, others can visit my profile, review my details, and verify the accuracy of my work history. This way, I can confidently stand by everything that I have accomplished throughout my career.

The most valuable feature of GitHub is version control and continuous integration.

The solution can improve by adding video guides, official guides, or short courses that cater to beginners who are new to the system. These resources could offer step-by-step guidance on how to use GitHub, including common procedures such as pulling and committing. Currently, many of us have to resort to searching for information on how to do these tasks via Google. An official guide provided by GitHub itself would be a valuable asset to newcomers and would save them time and effort.

There is potential for GitHub to enhance its features to be more like a Jenkins pipeline or CI/CD pipeline. While I currently use GitHub for code integration, I would like to see more emphasis placed on code management and automation. It would be beneficial to have more input on these areas within GitHub.

I have been using GitHub for approximately five years.

The stability could improve.

I rate the stability of GitHub a seven out of ten.

We have approximately 20 software developers using this solution.

I rate the scalability of GitHub a seven out of ten.

The support could improve. I have received online discussion forum support but it could improve.

Neutral

We might be switching to GitLab.

I rate the initial setup of GitHub a seven out of ten.

I am using the free version of the solution. However, there are some costs my organization pays.

My advice would be to take some time to clean up your repository and organize your data, step by step, in order to optimize its performance and make it more user-friendly. It can be challenging to work with applications like this when there is a lack of resources or input. However, by investing time in making your repository more efficient, you can reduce the potential for overwhelm and streamline your workflow.

I rate GitHub a seven out of ten.

We use GitHub for source control.

GitHub is convenient and easy to use.

GitHub should provide more integration in their next release, including integrating with Jenkins, CI/CD and Jira.

We have been using GitHub for two years.

GitHub is a stable solution.

The solution is scalable. We have approximately 200 users.

Prior to using GitHub, we used Subversion, or SVN and CVS. We switched to GitHub because of the cloud enablement as well as the ease of use.

I would recommend GitHub to anyone considering implementing the solution into their organization. 

Overall, I would rate GitHub a nine out of 10.

We used it mainly for version control and when we wanted to test an application at the initial stage or launch the mock-up version.

When it comes to version control, GitHub is fulfilling all that requirements. GitHub is the best tool for source repositories.

You can create public and private repositories.

GitHub could expand the limits of the free version. People are waiting for CNS. 

I have been working with Github for the past eight years.

I consider it stable as of now.

It is also scalable with respect to the branches.

We have not had to use technical support. The documentation that was provided for troubleshooting worked effectively.

The setup was very straightforward and easy for me.

We did not compare GitHub with other options.

I would rate GitHub a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for sourcing candidates.

I like finding individuals with more repositories and more followers, et cetera. It’s great to find the talent who is available and has particular skills.

The solution is scalable.

I do not think they have to increase storage. There’s enough.

From the recruiting standpoint, I would like to see email IDs and phone numbers and a brief introduction about their profile.

I’ve been using the solution for about a year.

The solution is very scalable. It’s expandable if you need it to be.

I’m not sure how many people use the solution in our company.

I’ve never used technical support in the past. I can’t speak to how helpful or responsive they would be.

Positive

We did not previously use a different solution.

There isn’t really an initial setup to deal with.

I can’t speak to the exact cost of the solution.

I’m a customer and end-user.

I’d rate the solution eight out of ten.

We are using GitHub as a repository for a couple of customers to be able to do Infra as Code in Microsoft Azure for them.

The most valuable features of GitHub are the ease of integration into Microsoft Azure DevOps. The process that you need to deploy into Microsoft Azure becomes fairly simple and the templates are already available, a lot of the engineers find it easier to use.

GitHub could have better integration or capability with other solutions.

I have been using GitHub for approximately four years.

GitHub is highly stable. Our team has not had any trouble with it.

The scalability of GitHub is good. I have not come across any limit.

We have six people using this solution in my organization. We have plans to increase usage.

I have not used the support from GitHub.

The initial setup of GitHub is simple. The full implementation took approximately a few hours. There was some user configuration that took some time.

We did the implementation in-house for GitHub.

 The licensing model from GitHub is very clear.

I recommend this solution to others. There may be some customers that are very picky about not having code on the cloud, and then my recommendation would normally be to use Microsoft Azure Repos, which is essentially a clone of GitHub but it stays within your subscription and within your tenancy on Microsoft Azure.

I rate GitHub a nine out of ten.

GitHub's workflow is smooth, and it integrates seamlessly with outside projects and libraries. It simplifies our entire development flow.

GitHub's source code management is top-notch. It's easy to inspect changes and visualize code and differences. Their action system is comprehensive in terms of making changes and automation.

GitHub's issue management could be improved a little from an organization standpoint. It would be helpful to have the ability to organize a work board or a backlog more comprehensively. For organizations migrating to GitHub from arbitrary systems, it's a little bit of a headache to move on to that system.

I have been using GitHub since 2009.

We've never had any performance issues with GitHub. I don't think we've had an outage yet and we've been on it for a number of years now. 

GitHub is extremely scalable. We only have about half a dozen repositories in there, but I know some organizations with hundreds working without issue. We're using it extensively. Everybody in the organization is using it, but it's fewer than 50 because our organization's pretty small. We'll increase usage naturally with time, but we're almost close to 100 percent, so it's hard to really increase usage at this point.

I read the documentation, but we haven't had any need for tech support.

We were using Azure DevOps previously, and we switched to GitHub primarily due to cost. The automated build platform is costly on the Azure DevOps side but significantly less expensive on the Azure side.

Setting up GitHub is extremely simple. You create an account in five minutes and have your first repository set up in another two after that. You're up and going in under 10 minutes.

It's a lightweight solution. The only maintenance is usually related to active stuff that we're doing on the platform. I wouldn't classify that as maintenance. That's product improvement.

We are a step above the base package. It's not the enterprise package. We're using the teams or the organization package. It has a few different names.

I rate GitHub nine out of 10 for overall ease of use and completeness in functionality.

GitHub is essentially a repository of code. It's where you source your code with the client and allows you to use Git. You get versioning and everything else for multiple deployments or codes. That's how we use it.

We stopped the development code on our machines, and we moved everything to GitHub. So, everyone is working on the latest code no matter what we do.

The accessibility is free.

There is room for improvement in terms of interface because  I had a problem with developers who didn't know what GitHub was, and it was a little bit strange to explain. 

I have been using GitHub for three years. We use the latest version. 

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.

The scalability is very good. It has never let me down.

The initial setup is okay. You need to know what you're doing.

I saw 100% ROI. 

Price is free. 

It is way better than developing software by yourself. I would definitely recommend using the solution.

Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten.

We just use GitHub for the repository in our company.

So we have a central repository. So, we do recommend the need to push and pull everything, and that's how we use it.

The requests, push, pull, merge, and everything else in the solution are its valuable features. Later, people make their changes.

I don't have any comments on the improvement needed in the tool since I'm okay with it. I don't have anything really in mind. It's not like I am picky, and I don't need to be picky unless it's really an overblown, like, there are some bugs or some glitches or something like that in the solution. As of now, everything looks fine.

Scalability is an area with a shortcoming, because of which it has room for improvement.

I have been using GitHub for more than five years. We just use the solution for work in our company.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We plan to increase the usage of the solution. There are a lot of products out there in the market, but I wouldn't say I would recommend it, but if you use it, then it's fine. I don't really compare much as long as that's what is expected from the solution functionality-wise is fulfilled. So, then I am fine with it.

I don't use the solution's customer support.

Regarding the initial setup, I rate it an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

The solution is deployed on a private cloud since it is a corporate thing. We don't go for a public cloud.

The deployment is fast since we just have to run the script, and once it's done, it takes a few minutes.

My company has schedules, and we assign people to do the deployment. So, it's rotational. Let's say I do the deployment this week, and then another person does it next week.

I don't know about the solution's cost. My company purchased it. Before, we used to receive the free version, but then they purchased some of the features.

I am using the solution, and I am fine with it. I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
