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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Great version control for side project repositories
What do you like best about the product?
Free public repos.
The UI is clean, easy and intuitive.
It's very easy to fork projects, do code reviews, and discover new projects. I also like having private repos to just throw some code up./
The documentation is also pretty thorough and approachable; there's something here for users of all skill levels.

What do you dislike about the product?
The private repos are a paid feature, which is fine when for solo stuff. I wouldn't want to use this for a large group project that wasn't open source though, since the pricing is per seat/user. which can get expensive quickly depending on the number of contributors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration on open source projects and hosting my own private repos in a centralized place. The entire open source community uses this and its a great place for new programmers/developers just starting out to discover what other folks in the community are doing. It's also the industry standard. I've picked up a few freelancing gigs that I wouldn't have otherwise just due to the fact that the hiring manager 'wouldn't consider candidates without a GitHub repo'.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sign up for a free account and try it out. It doesn't cost anything and has a great supportive community to help you get started.
The standard for developers
What do you like best about the product?
We require all employees on the "dev side" of the business to have a github account. It's our main control repository, and it doesn't cost anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isn't much NOT to like for developers-those non devs have issue with the interface, but that is just a matter of taste and experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Version control can always be an issue that can be resolved with a consistent process of using a standard repository. And for no cost? We haven't found a better repository for the value.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you were to analyze the tools that are available for version control alone (Mecurial, Subversion), you'll find with GitHub far more ROI.
Github provides working features
What do you like best about the product?
Github lets you control you own repos, and share them with your organizations without worry about security.
What do you dislike about the product?
The "Browse Activity" Feature on a dashboard could use a few more options
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Github lets us store an organize all the repos we need
Best Code Repository
What do you like best about the product?
Best part of GitHub is it's easy to work with git commands on command line.
Line by Line differences.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some times it becomes tricky if we don't operate it properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use GitHub for maintaining code shared repository code for out application.
Very easy to work with if we know git commands.
Conflict resolution
Auto merge

NA
Gets the job done, but navigation and UX could be better
What do you like best about the product?
Most developers have used GitHub and are familiar with it. There are a lot of existing systems that integrate with it. GitHub's newer code review and branch protection features provide a workflow that can fit well into both small and large projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
GitHub has, at times, been slow and unreliable. There used to be several periods within 2016 where they'd have partial day outages, which can be a real problem for teams that depend on it every day. Having said that, reliability and performance have slowly but steadily improved in 2017. Many of GitHub's pages are difficult to navigate / have a learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitHub provides us with a common, cloud-based location for us to maintain copies of our source code without having to maintain our own infrastructure. Because it's cloud-based, our developers can access the code from anywhere in the world. GitHub also provides us with a way to review each other's code and ensure quality, without having to invest in a separate code review tool like Crucible.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a look at GitLab and see if its lower price tag and newer features are better for your needs. Weigh GitLab's current performance and past reliability track record against GitHub's current features and current reliability. If you can live without GitLab's shiny features (especially automatic CI / deployment automation), you don't need private repositories, or you can afford to pay for private repositories, pick GitHub.
