Great cloud option for Git-based source control
What do you like best about the product?
Github does an excellent job managing our code workflow and permissions for small or large team development projects. The integrations with Continuous Integration / Continuous Development tools are broad and comprehensive. In addition, the integration with popular project management and issue tracking tools is unmatched. Github works great and integrates with most everything.
We like the pull requests feature with code review and auto-merge functionality. We also like the ability to compare previous versions and history of files.
We love that there is no check-in/checkout type thing that would lock files out for other devs. Instead, anyone can work on a file and merge it in. If two people work on the same part of the file, it will denote a merge conflict and then a human will need to fix it.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few issues I have with the User Interface. I feel like the Pull Request interface isn't intuitive. Also, it runs a bit more expensive than some of its competitors for small companies.
I feel like the branching interface is a bit clunky and I can never remember how to create a new branch.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Github for source code control for multiple client projects. This allows is to share code between multiple team members and external teams. We have improved our productivity using Github and reduced errors. We have saved money because we don't need to maintain the server anymore now that it is in the Cloud.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Public projects are free so simply create and account, get a test project, add it into Github, and give it a try.

Github is great for source control and large project management
What do you like best about the product?
Pull request reviews are efficient and effective.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some diff comparisons have been abstracted away and are hidden. It's not easy to just compare between two diffs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing source control and code review across a large number of people committing to a code base. Also release management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use github. It's great place to start for online code control.
Excellent Tool for Version Control
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it's been fairly easy to get started with. It's the first and only version control software I've used but so far it's been easy enough to get started with. I like the community aspect and being able to follow other users and save repositories.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far I don't have any dislikes but I've only been using the software for about 3 months now. I'm sure I'll have new feedback once I've spent more time with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm testing new ideas for site functionality and this tool has allowed me to save different versions to come back to for reference.
Great service but expensive
What do you like best about the product?
The standard for Git hosting. Easy to use and lots of powerful tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Gets very expensive if you use lots of contractors across projects. You end up paying for people even when they are not working on projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using GitHub to manage all of our code repositories and provided access to our development teams who all work remotely and are from different organisations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at alternatives if you have a large team that works on projects sporadically.
My favourite hub!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that they are always implementing new things and how open everything is. Such as with integrations, allowing you to do many things beyond just the GitHub site.
The UI is clean and easy to navigate with many useful features no matter how small. Such as assigning issues/pull requests, labels and milestones.
You can create projects, contain docs in a wiki and keep everything from one project in one place.
Milestones are a really good way to schedule important issues and put an order to all the issues. Basically cleans up the issues that are present in a more calendar format.

What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike a few things with Pull Requests, such as the way the re-assigning a code reviewer works. If you view someones code and are capable of reviewing it, there is no Add Review button unless you have been assigned by the reviewee.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for our platform and to make sure we have a nice place to get code reviews done.

N/A
Github
What do you like best about the product?
Github is always adding new useful features. It is easy to do code reviews, enforce unit tests, collaborate with the entire team and quick find and view changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only real complaint I have is that private repositories are only available on paid accounts, but I understand that is their business model.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborating and code reviewing are made much easier with Github. Their jira integration is also great to take out the manual management of jira ticket status, just open a code review and the integration will update the jira status for you which saves alot of time and hassle.
Great source control
What do you like best about the product?
GitHub has the standard for CLI commands and is widely used for many open source projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is a bit clunky for me, no ability to organize your repos into projects.

Source & Version control
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If migrating from Bitbucket, there are a few tools out there to help migrate your repos
Github has been instrumental in social coding for my team
What do you like best about the product?
The pull request feature, commenting on a subset of code changes even in line.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the changes shown in the pull request are not accurate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Social coding, code review, we've been able to ramp new guys far faster and easier.
Very Good For Cloud Hosting
What do you like best about the product?
GitHub is a very great tool for cloud hosting services because with cloud hosting it also provides a platform through which you can collaborate with each other and then code,Using this fascinating technique we have already hosted many projects through github.Github also provides and invites collaborators from the open source world who help you out with your code and the improvements are sent through them by pull request means you can see if you want to update your code or not.It is a really better platform for hosting projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
GitHub should also start providing real time chat option with the collaborators with which they can interact easily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use GitHub at our company for hosting all sorts of currently under development projects.GitHub enables us to work collaboratively with all other companies where they can also contribute to our working project and we can help them in their project.GitHub also helps us to host website by which we can show the demo of the work done to our clients without actually deploying it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend using GitHub to all the companies because using GitHub we can easily work collaboratively and specially those companies who have contracts with the foreign countries can easily work collaboratively with them using git hub.
Real source control (not just versions)
What do you like best about the product?
Pull requests - reviewing code prior to updating your master branch is crucial to source control.
What do you dislike about the product?
Private vs Public repositories. You have to pay for a private repository, meanwhile most code is shared open source via public repositories. I see no reason to pay for a personal private repository unless it is across a team of users when you can create a local repository and backup to the cloud via alternate free services.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rebranding the company website using sections with shared components. Benefits include breaking stories apart into subtasks and branching for each individual subtask. Pull requests allow the story to be updated allowing approved code to them be shared across alll subtask branches.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Always give a new concept a try, especially with version control. Process can always be improved, even if it seem like more work in the beginning.
