Top-rated for **Likelihood to recommend**. ----- ## Overview ### Key benefits of GitHub Every repository on GitHub comes with the tools needed to manage your project. Open to the community for public projects – secured for private projects. GitHub keeps your public and private code available, secure, and backed up. Stop hoarding code on your hard drive; it takes less than a minute to push code up to GitHub and start collaborating with others... It doesn’t matter if you prefer to use the command line git client, a tool like hg-git, or a graphical application like SmartGit— we’re dedicated to helping you collaborate easily and securely. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.8/5** | 6148 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.4/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support | 4.3/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.6/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.7/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 90% | (9/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: Microsoft - **Location**: Redmond, US - **Founded**: 1975 ## Commercial Context - **Starting Price**: US$4.00 - **Pricing model**: Per User (Free version available) (Free Trial) - **Pricing Details**: Free (Basics for teams and developers) $0 per month Team (Advanced collaboration and support for teams): $4 per user / month Enterprise (Security, compliance, and flexible deployment for enterprises): $21 per user/month - **Target Audience**: Self Employed, 2–10, 11–50, 51–200, 201–500, 501–1,000, 1,001–5,000 - **Deployment & Platforms**: Cloud, SaaS, Web-based, Mac (Desktop), Windows (Desktop), Windows (On-Premise), Linux (On-Premise), Android (Mobile), iPhone (Mobile), iPad (Mobile) - **Supported Languages**: English - **Available Countries**: Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Croatia, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Iraq and 27 more ## Features - @mentions - Access Controls/Permissions - Agile Methodologies - Application Security - Authentication - Automated Testing - Backlog Management - Bug Tracking - Bug/Issue Capture - Collaboration Tools - Commenting/Notes - Continuous Deployment - Continuous Integration - Dashboard - Data Import/Export - Debugging - Feedback Management - For Developers - For Small Businesses - Graphical User Interface ## Integrations (13 total) - CircleCI - Git - Heroku - JIRA Service Management - Jenkins - Jira - Microsoft Azure - Microsoft Visual Studio - Netlify - Pivotal Tracker - Slack - Trello - Visual Studio Code ## Support Options - Email/Help Desk - FAQs/Forum - Knowledge Base ## Category - [Issue Tracking Software](https://www.getapp.co.nz/directory/580/issue-tracking/software) ## Related Categories - [Issue Tracking Software](https://www.getapp.co.nz/directory/580/issue-tracking/software) - [Bug Tracking Software](https://www.getapp.co.nz/directory/1003/bug-tracking/software) - [Source Code Management Software](https://www.getapp.co.nz/directory/1477/source-code-management/software) - [App Development Software](https://www.getapp.co.nz/directory/370/application-development/software) - [Nonprofit Project Management Software](https://www.getapp.co.nz/directory/2875/project-management-software-for-nonprofits/software) ## Alternatives 1.

I've tried other systems (BitBucket and GitLab and many many years ago SourceSafe which wasnt online, it was a LAN based product). I used github prior to its purchase by Microsoft and was pleased to see that whereas previously private repo's needed a paid account, since Microsofts purchase, you can now have private repo's on their free service. Recently I've started getting into CI/CD and so have been getting involved in the Actions service, which gives you build time on their servers for deployment. I'd used AWS previously for CI/CD and found the Github actions were far easier to set up and they provide a reasonable amount of processor minutes per month for free which I haven't yet breached so it's a free service there too\! Not only is it a remote repository for tracking changes and allowing multiple people to develop in the same system, it also provides a remote offsite backup of your source. As far as value for money is concerned, its brilliant because it's free but even if you go for the paid option, the last time I checked it was about £7 a month > > **Cons**: The secret variables that you can create in actions are a "write once, never see them again" system. Variables can be used in Actions to control what you want the build script to do based on which branch you are in - ie one variable might be created for the master branch for live builds and another for staging or dev builds. I know they are secrets but sometimes it can be really helpful to check what the value is to try to debug what might be happening in the build process (even if you echo the value during the build process, most of the output is replaced with \*\*\*\*). It would be useful to require re-entry of username/password and 2fa details and to then be shown the details - even if each variable needed to go through the same process > > Overall its a good system, the best source control system I've used and whenever you search online for code, its github that tends to be the place other people use to store their open source contributions - you don't often see others being used, although I have seen GitLab more than anything else. ----- ### "Very Confusing to Use" — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 August 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **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 > > I was able to sign p easily, but after that I was totally lost ----- ### "Trustworthy repository hub of campaign technology." — 5.0/5 > **William** | *26 December 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I also prefer the ease with which changes can be reviewed, actions can be triggered and everyone can be coordinated in situations that require quick approvals on the campaign. > > **Cons**: I do not like that first structure and approvals may bewilder other team members who are not technical and I tend to take them through the fundamentals. > > It has proved to be a reliable source of scripts, landing pages, and automation regarding our mobile campaigns without stalling the sales impetus. ----- ### "Great for Collaboration and Code Management" — 5.0/5 > **Bonface** | *3 May 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about GitHub is how seamless it makes collaboration across development teams. The ability to track changes through version control, manage branches, and open pull requests has really helped us maintain clean and organized codebases. The GitHub Actions automation feature also saves a lot of time during deployment. It’s reliable and easy to integrate with other tools we already use. > > **Cons**: One thing that can be a bit confusing, especially for newer team members, is the learning curve with Git commands and how branching works. While the platform itself is great, it sometimes assumes a certain level of experience with version control, which can slow things down for beginners. Also, the notifications can get overwhelming if you’re watching multiple repositories. > > My experience with GitHub has been very positive overall. It’s a reliable platform for hosting code, managing projects, and collaborating with others. Whether I’m working solo or with a team, GitHub helps keep everything organized through issues, pull requests, and commits. Over time, it’s become a central part of my workflow, and it integrates well with other tools like VS Code and Slack. There’s a bit of a learning curve at the start, but once you get used to it, it really improves how you manage code. ----- Page: 1 / 247\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/90537/github?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/90537/github) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
