My Essencial Development Storage
What do you like best about the product?
Githubis mire than a code repository. It feels like a community. It's worlds code in one place. Easly accessible and reusable. Is the best GUI Git could have ever hoped. I can't think what the software community would be without GitHub
What do you dislike about the product?
There ware some times the company didn't respond to user demands. Lasts months they seem the be catching up really quickly to what we really need. I would also like they allow certain minimum of free private repos.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We store all our code in github.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider other options only because of pricing. I don't think there's any other alternative that lets you organize and store a software code as github. They are really ahead of competitors.

An essential tool
What do you like best about the product?
I am a QA software tester, so GitHub's easy-to-use UI and Issues are the most helpful for me. It's not too clunky, and I can navigate it without having much coding knowledge myself. I often have to search through our code to pinpoint issues, so I like that I can search the whole repo.
What do you dislike about the product?
GitHub is very developer-focused. It's great for the individual developer, but managers, QA, and product/marketing team members have a harder time using it. I want GitHub to have a better system for managing and organizing PR's and issues. Specifically, I would like a kanban board system or a flowchart, matching what JIRA and Trello's interfaces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a QA software tester for a small open-source software company. GitHub helps keep our work visible and transparent to the public, and it's a good organizational tool for us as well. We integrate it with JIRA to manage the development process.
GitHub is critical for open source projects
What do you like best about the product?
Community, Pull Requests, Service Integrations and Single sign-on with developer services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be great to have a better pricing model for private repositories, specially those that are not shared with others or are shared with limited people.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Source control for open source projects, mainly MantisBT (http://www.mantisbt.org) and its plugins. Enabling community to fork and submit PR which is easy for the team to review and integrate into the core product.
Easy version control and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
If you are running an open source project, forget it, just use GitHub, it has everything you need. First of all, it's powered by git. So not only is it a great source control tool, but since it's a distributed system you aren't even married to GitHub if you want to switch. Just add a new remote and push.
Secondly, it's free. If you want to control access to the source more and use it for internal code it has a cost at that point, and point you can think about other solutions like BitBucket. For open source you can go free though.
Thirdly, there are just a tonne of awesome integrations. You can get notifications in Slack, get project management/sprint planning with Waffle, and large number of other things.

What do you dislike about the product?
You have to know git, which can be a bit arcane. It's not that hard, and there are some great graphical tools you can use for the most part, but it really helps if you have access to at least one person that really knows git.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's great for managing open source projects your company maintains. GitHub is pretty standard, you don't have to roll your own. At this point, a huge chunk of developers are already familiar with and set up with it, so it's a very low barrier to entry.
It's also really great for internal code. Version control, offsite backups, local backups on every machine, integrations with other tools to do project management, built in bug tracking, great branching and merging tools. Easy to pull in external people for certain projects, too.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are doing open source, stop right now and just use GitHub. For closed source, I'd strongly recommend it as well, but there are at least other options to consider. A single person making a closed source application should probably use BitBucket, since it's free for them with that use case.
Inexpensive source control and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
GitHub seamlessly integrates with the git control system. It provides a feature-filled web portal for repository management and file manipulation. In addition, the GitHub desktop app includes a clean GUI that allows nontechnical users to easily run git commands. Connecting to a GitHub repository from a terminal requires just one command. Consequently, almost any user can swiftly create and manipulate a GitHub repository without needing to worry about integration setup.
GitHub provides both an issue tracker and a peer review system. GitHub Issues integrate directly with the repository and allow swift dissemination of information about bugs and automatic notices when they are resolved. The GitHub pull request utility allows repository managers to quickly review code changes (via a concise description of differences), request changes, run quality tests, and finally merge the code into the repository at the click of a button. These features ensure efficient and safe collaboration between team members.
GitHub is free for open-source projects. With unlimited public repositories in their free plan, GitHub provides companies and organizations with an inexpensive venue to share their creations and invite community collaboration. In addition, GitHub includes paid plans for those who require private repositories and an enterprise edition for installation on company networks.

What do you dislike about the product?
GitHub's pages feature only supports static HTML or Jekyll sites. Consequently, projects that require dynamic websites will need to look elsewhere. Fortunately, GitHub's numerous service integrations provide viable alternatives that a user can quickly employ.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I primarily use GitHub to administrate open-source projects. GitHub's custom issue tracker and pull requests allow me to inform contributors, invite them to solve issues, and review their code. These features, combined with the source control functionality of git itself, protect the project's code from corruption and damage, while fostering community involvement.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend GitHub to those who would like to safely and effectively collaborate on either proprietary or open-source projects.
Used for review and share code
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to share my work and ask for opinions, set stretch goals and issues and create a wiki for each project.
What do you dislike about the product?
You can't define a workflow for a pull request, for example you can't say that a pull request is OK and ready to merge ONLY if it passes the approval of dev X and dev Y.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well, sharing my work amongst a variety of diff people is definitely a huge benefit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's free, docs are excellent and it helps you understand how version-control systems work.
The easiest, simplest way to collaborate
What do you like best about the product?
The app they provided gives an easy way to visualize the flow
What do you dislike about the product?
The way commit conflict handled sometimes leaving unnoticed head and tail tag
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralize our codebase, effectively improving our performance
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The better choice for me rather than using Svn. It would be great if they provide something like gitlab does where you can deploy your own git server, especially for enterprise company who dpwant a private repo but not willing to pay.
Main source of all open-source projects
What do you like best about the product?
Github is not only a portal for open-source projects, it's also a great community. Every developer has to have an account there, because even if you don't contribute to open-source projects - you can improve your knowledge and experience in checking others projects. This is amazing way of "technical" knowledge sharing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Github still has no private repositories for free accounts which is really annoying, because most other same services like gitlab provide unlimited private repos for free. I understand that this is one of the sources of revenue, but let's face it, such big company as GitHub can earn money in better way that restricting people from making their private repos.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Github gives us a nice git integration to our business. It has all latest technologies to provide secure, stable and reliable service for their customers. I am using
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The only recommendation is to start using it, because it gives huge opportunities to improve the knowledge, share experience and be a part of open-source community. Also, understanding the git flow gives you a better knowledge of team work and how the code is getting versioned and merged.
GitHub is an exceptional tool for managing and collaborating around git projects.
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to keep track of every change made to my project by me and other contributors. I love being able to contribute to other people's projects and have others contribute to mine. I love being able to push directly to GitHub from terminal. I love how GitHub integrates mentions, git references, issues references, etc in comments. I love being able to host Jekyll sites for free and use my own domain name. I love being able to track deploy milestones within the issue tracker. I love being able to assign pull requests to colleagues for review.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not that much I don't like about GitHub. I have found it challenging to implement continuous integration on the platform, and it has been challenging figuring out how to do more advanced Jekyll stuff since they don't allow Jekyll plugins, but these have been pretty minor issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm able to work collaboratively with colleagues within a platform that lets me see exactly what has been done and by whom. I'm able to simplify our development and production workflows.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get to know git in the terminal. Do some reading on git workflows and choose the one that makes sense for you. Put some effort into your project's readme file to make it easier for others to get to know your project. If you're going to use GitHub, take advantage of its strength--the ability to collaborate with strangers around your code. If you'd rather keep your code private, use BitBucket instead.
There are only two choices, Github and Bitbucket. Github doesn't have outages.
What do you like best about the product?
We used to be on Bitbucket but at one point they had a full day outage and we migrated to Guthub immediately after that and have had no troubles. Git is super amazing and Github is a reliable company with most of their own infrastructure at this point. I don't worry about security or stability and uptime has been amazing. Your repo is something you can't have go down. We also use it for code review/pull requests. Viewing history and reverting is dead simple as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I mean, git is hard for beginners but Github has made a decent GUI for people who are super spooked by git. The command line is git, it works with Keychain if you're on mac, and key generation is easy to do on Windows if you follow Github's guide.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mean, as a software company you need a way to share, track changes on, and revert code. It's very core to the business and needs to be available 24/7 without having to think about it. Thanks Github.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
DO IT. Especially if you\re a student, get up to date with git now because everyone will be using Github.
