GitHub is such an important website for code collaboration and showcasing
What do you like best about the product?
It's so easy to create a repository and start pushing code. I do this for all 'boilerplate' projects so that I always have a starting point for any new thing I create. I also love discovering projects, reading the code, and creating branches on things that interest me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Paid private repos are kind of a bummer, but I rarely need something completely private anyways. I also don't usually "discover" repositories through the site itself. For that, I depend on other people sharing repositories on other outlets, such as reddit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I just enjoy creating projects and working with people. The benefits are that it's easy to experiment and work with others.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's seriously a needed tool for any collaborative code project. Sign up, use it, contribute.
GitHub is very easy to use and it's an important backbone of open source development.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity and that the core technology under the hood is Git. Everything can be done from command line as well as by using the RESTful API.
And one can even draw pictures on the commit histogram :-D

There is nothing I disklike about GitHub, sorry :-) I like also their openness about security issues. They are doing a good job!
And the cats or other pictures are cute as well!

I need a place to share my code and interact with the community of its users. GitHub gives me the platform and makes it easy to use both to command line hackers and web UI users.
GitHub also offers place to share compiled code - Releases. Wonderful!

Do some interactive courses on Git first. For example https://try.github.io/levels/1/challenges/1
Best repository in the entire world! I love it and use it for all projects.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the simplicity, the docs are amazing, their support is great, lots of community help if any problems arise and the fact that their interface is simple.
They have amazing benefits, as a student I applied to their Github Education pack and they gave me an amazing 2 years of FREE service, so i can work on private repositories and build my own personal apps and such.
GitHub truly has an amazing interface, command line is super easy with their git support, their Wiki and support/issue sections are very powerful.
I also love their free hosting for small open source projects!

What do you dislike about the product?
GitHub, one small issue I would like to point out is that they do not offer SSL hosting for customers along with their custom domains. But I guess for the things that they offer, it isn't much of a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work at a cloud company and we have a huge amount of testing we need to get done and honestly, GitHub makes it super easy.
We can quickly push updates, then if there are issues other members can go in and see who made updates to the repository and where the brake happened. In the same repository we also have visuals/graphs etc that show us a lot of information. It shows us the differences between code and we can quickly and easily compare code
The issues feature is very handy and instead of making everything off site, it can be done on the same place, no need to have a separate site with bug reports and internal team bugs, everything is built in!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you truly just need a powerful git repository hosting site, GitHub is your go to. Whether you are just a simple student, a free-time developer, or a developer at a company, this is hands down one of the BEST repository hosting sites. Plus, throwing in a few bucks a year can get you private repositories (they deserve it).
And best part is, even if you are a company, you can have organizations and have multiple people controlling repositories and there is something called GitHub Enterprise as well!
GitHub is amazing, from starters to top level engineers and software specialists and developers!

Free tool which can become better
What do you like best about the product?
It has a huge userbase and many public projects are available. Github provides you inline editing and network graphs. Github's monthly price is cheap. Also I would have to mention in here that for the professionals, knowing Git is more of a "must", in a day to day business. Due to its popularity, Github comes with a lot of "network effect" type benefits: project there are more visible; there lots of third party tools that talk to it. Its proxy auth is in widespread use and employers who care about open source often want to see your Github profile.
What do you dislike about the product?
Free accounts don't have private repositories, and you have to pay to get a private repository. Github only supports Git
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping all of my open surce project in it, also used by the entire company, all the deploys are done from repository, easy to be learned and used.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I use Github for social network functionality, keep my all public repositories there, but when it about some private work I use something elese which i would not mentioned in here. To conclude using Git and Github are the easy obvious decisions here, I encourage you to hold on to the impulse that made you ask this question, and keep an open mind and a flexible skill set.
GitHut is useful even if you don't code
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about GitHub is the open nature of the platform. Even someone who cannot code can go into a GitHub repo and participate in other ways. For example, a writer can contribute to a repository's Wiki or other documentation. These are the sorts of contributions I have made in the past, although I also contribute to repositories for web sites when a simple change needs to be made to an HTML file.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could be easier to track specific aspects of a GitHub repository (rather than all conversations). It would be nice to follow strictly non-technical discussions for me, although I'm not sure how this would be achieved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitHub is mainly useful for me as a way to share ideas with various Bitcoin projects and track the development process in the main Bitcoin repo. Tracking the Bitcoin repo helps me keep up with changes being made to the Bitcoin protocol. If I have an idea for a specific Bitcoin project, I am able to easily share it with them on their GitHub repo (although sometimes participation on the mailing list is a better option). Perhaps GitHub could offer a mailing list option (not sure if this is already available).
Absolutely vital!
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is quite well done—it doesn't even scare off non-technical people, in spite of being pretty code-heavy/technical in nature. The interface makes diffs extremely easy to grok in a visual context. The lightweight issue tracker is perfect—it's not too over-engineered, but it's flexible enough that you can design it to work the way you'd like.
What do you dislike about the product?
Every now and again, Github will go down and it's like the whole internet gets a snow day. Sometimes I compete to get an endless row of green squares and it's not great for my sanity. Better access controls could be really useful. A way of sorting repos would be nice (tags maybe?) since it's hard to find repos when you have a lot, especially in a larger org.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using Github for basically everything I work on. Provides an easy way of collaborating with co-workers, discussing issues, and jumping in on one another's work. I'm also using it for documentation and client communication, as a lightweight PR tool, and it's actually working rather well in that context.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's the industry standard for a reason. Go for it.
World unexplored is with in reach
What do you like best about the product?
Github has been a great platform both as an user and a contributor to some extent. It provides massive information about the current technology and expands the breadth and depth in the understanding. It also provides a great opportunity to learn from wonderful people around the world. And then the version control system has helped so much in maintaining the code. The web interface is a added bonus to git.
What do you dislike about the product?
The first thing to top of my mind is the possibility of someone adding others to groups without their consent. Though not applicable to everyone and not a major issue, this is the biggest issue I have seen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having worked as a part time contributor, this has provided me the opportunity for the give and take policy in solving various problems in multiple domains.
Simply put, GitHub a must have if you work with open source software at all
What do you like best about the product?
Unlimited repos for open source projects combined with their recent additions additions for managing issues, awesome search and great third-party integrations
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love the ability to have at least a couple free private repos, but that's not really a complaint and there are other services out there for that
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Version control, issue tracking, team collaboration and software discovery
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you use Git, you should be using GitHub. Even if you just use it for a few personal projects or to find other projects that you can incorporate into your own, GitHub is a phenomenal resource
Great for Open Source Projects
What do you like best about the product?
Unlimited public repositories, Wiki pages per project and an issue tracker.
What do you dislike about the product?
For personal use private repositories still require you to pay. Which is fine, but Bitbucket offers unlimited private repositories.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hosting open source projects and collaborating with other people on projects, solving issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
To be honest, take a serious look at BitBucket first, although their web interface isn't as user friendly as GitHub's. If all you need is a couple of private repositories BitBucket is the way to go. That said, if you require to collaborate on projects with multiple people, private or public repositories, GitHub is probably the best way to go. The usage of their Wiki pages, making changes to files online and the issue tracker are very nice features to have. As well as pull requests and code reviews.
