My experience has been excellent so far, but I feel I can't learn enough about using Github to make my life as a developer easier. I'm reading books and taking courses to try to automate more processes for my professional and personal projects, as I feel the more I know, the more I can accomplish using it.
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.

I switched my all projects on GitHub from other services. I am very happy with it, especially because with FREE account we can do EVERYTHING!
I hope in the future GitHub will implement some user interface to be able to build CD/CI without writing any code, because we are not always a DEVOPS
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

It's great and I can't imagine ever using a different type of version control. I've used it for small projects and I've used it for big projects and it covers anything you could think of for either.
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.

The default solution for Git hosting but might not be the best for enterprise
Reviewed on 16/01/2025
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).

GitLabReasons for Choosing GitHub
We use Github for our public/published work as it is the default, though not for internal projects. Github is almost the "default" option for sharing, and kind of a social media for software engineers.Reasons for Switching to GitHub
We still use GitLab for internal and enterprise developments, but it's less geared towards sharing publically than Github.- Industry: Computer Software

I've been using GitHub to manage multiple projects, like Discord bots, websites and NodeJS projects. Recently I've worked with Full Stack projects.
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.

Best Version Control System
Reviewed on 14/11/2024
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.
Reasons for Choosing GitHub
I wanted a free alternative for personal projects. In my personal opinion it’s also possible to have a github and not have a gitlab, but it is not possible to spin that statement around!Switched From

I've used Github across many different job roles, each time GitHub has provided the perfect platform for ensuring code versioning, publishing and management in an easy and effective way.
Pros
Github is a feature rich platform offering everything needed for product development lifecycle as well as publishing builds out to third party services.
Cons
I don't think there is anything really I dislike, I would say that GitHub Actions could be a bit simpler to setup, but other than that, nothing.

Excellent experience and I really cannot imagine a modern software development world without GitHub at this point. This is a the gold standard right here.
Pros
I love the wide array of features and the usage simplicity. Everything works well and meets pretty much all of our needs as a team. GitHub is very dependable and does a great job at constantly improving and responding to feedback.
Cons
CI/CD is a bit of a rabbit hole that I wish the barrier to entry was a little lower on, but all the right tools are there if you spend the time to learn them.

Pros
Coming from a on-premise source control manager and having Github solution with full integrated CI/CD solution and IA like Copilot you cant ask for more but even so you have option to script everything with Terraform, for us was the next step and right now is the best decision we made.
Cons
Nothing, has everything we need but even so we must use more features on the road.

Overall about GitHub is still needed and essential for me as a developer.
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
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.

Very good experience, the APIs can be very slow sometimes if you want to connect via a 3rd party and can have timeout but in terms of usability and user-friendlyness it's a nice platform for code management.
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.

Overall, my experience with GitHub has been very positive. I've used it extensively for managing and sharing code for my research projects. The platform's capabilities have been invaluable in keeping my work organized, especially when revisiting previous stages of my research. The ability to track changes, create branches, and merge code has streamlined my workflow and made it easier to manage complex projects. GitHub has become an essential tool in my research process.
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.

Excellent source control but archaic billing
Reviewed on 5/04/2024
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.

Excellent platform! Coders and coder maintainers survive on this.
Pros
In my opinion, GitHub stands out as a top-notch platform with an intuitive user interface that makes navigation a breeze. The robust security measures instill confidence, and the extensive integrations covering source code management, issue tracking, and project management enhance its versatility. I appreciate the platform's speed, user-friendly experience, and efficient project management features like Kanban cards. GitHub's version control capabilities allow for seamless tracking and reverting of code changes. Collaborating on files or code is made easy, and the organization feature adds a layer of control with access management and team coordination. The GitHub Desktop's visual interface simplifies less-common Git commands, and GitHub Actions for continuous integration has been a game-changer in my development workflows. The insightful visualizations, including the network graph, provide valuable historical project insights. Overall, GitHub has become my go-to platform for its comprehensive suite of features, making software development and collaboration a smooth and rewarding experience.
Cons
In my opinion, managing large-sized files is hectic. Leading to efficiency issues.
