If you're a developer you have to have an account with Github
What do you like best about the product?
Github is a center of code and knowledge sharing. Great tool for collaboration and community work. I use it to host my portfolio page via gh-pages.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too many repos, hard to search & find what you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I realized they have both public(free account) and private one(for your confidential needs) - very useful.

The Standard for Online Version Control
What do you like best about the product?
Github pull requests are very easy to use and a must for a distributed team. Online diffs are very helpful as well. Github is also integrated into every major dev ops product, so simply by using it you open yourself to drop-in integration into other hosting and CI tools out on the market.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a whole lot to dislike really. The only time I've ever had an issue was when Heroku utilized Github to pulldown the latest server buildpack for every code update. Github had been down a couple of times and each time it broke my ability to push updates to my web application due to Herokus reliance on Github. Github is rarely down, but it does happen sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Github makes it easier to temporarily give developers access to a codebase and collaborate on it. I also use it to integrate into continuous integration systems like CircleCI and it works great with pushing new tests to run via GIthub webhooks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're not using Github and you're not restricted by employer restrictions, you really should be using it. Most major open source efforts are stored on Github, it's highly supported across 3rd party applications and you really shouldn't be wasting your time managing your own source control instance.
Good could get better
What do you like best about the product?
Github is good, and almost great. It has a better interface than bitbucket, and generally speaking its my favorite. The public history is good, and Github is very reliable. Github pages is awesome. I host all my static websites on it, pair it with CloudFlare and its some high quality cheap web hosting.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having no private repositories is a big downfall.
Issue tracking is poor.
Layout of repositories and information could be improved.

Code Version control is imperative in any software. The ability to collaborate, as well as manage version is key to any software development.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure that you look at Bitbucket, Gitlab and Gitlab. As well as cloud hosted vs server hosted.
Each have varying features and quirks, and worth considering each.

Github is great for collaboration and building awesome software.
What do you like best about the product?
Github is awesome for letting so many open source projects get hosted for free. It's contributions to the technical industry is immeasurable.
It's super reliable with hardly any downtime. Their documentation on getting up and running with Git and Github is amazing. You're also not limited to the command ling. There's also create Desktop clients for more novice users to use who aren't as confident with the command line.
They also have a great code editor tool, Atom which has made contributions to making cross-platform app development that much easier.

What do you dislike about the product?
Often it gets too noisy on some issue threads of +1 all the time. I hope they improve this in the future. Private repose are pricy.
There's weird culture issues in the press which is always messy. I don't know what's going on there but it does make you think.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an open source library producer it allows me to share my code and have it reviewed by others with is awesome. If Github and similar services didn't exist there would be friction in the form of cost and time maintaining your own git server.
I've used it to help mentor people and review their code and give additional comments. Annotating code with comments clearly helps the learner where they can improve.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
For private repositories you could use something like BitBucket. For public repos GitHub is the place to be.
Many major open source projects are hosted there, like Rails, Ruby, jQuery and Swift.

Too productive to ignore
What do you like best about the product?
Any project I care about exists in the github community. For my own projects I can focus on my code and easily make use of an extremely beautifully arranged management system.
What do you dislike about the product?
The paid options are nice, but way too pricey for my blood. And for some projects I'm totally unwilling to trust a third party with my IP.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
github's fantastic for networking on the side of being the new defacto for any open project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it. You don't have to use it for everything, but you can't afford not to be fluent this the modern central library for communal software. Ignoring github makes you an illiterate developer.
Best platform for Open Source development, great for private development too
What do you like best about the product?
When working on Open Source software, you have access to much more features than you will ever need. Issues, Pull Requests, Releases, Wikis, you can even host your project's website on Github.
Github is simple to use and gets simpler every now and then, it's so simple that you do not need to know Git that much to use it. They just added drag'n'drop file upload, which is awesome when working with non-technical people.
Github is also great for private development. We use it in our startup to host all our documents, in addition to our entire codebase. Our non-technical guy got it in no time.

What do you dislike about the product?
The limitation of private repositories for individual users. As a company you can afford to spend some bucks to get private repositories and all Github features for them, but as an individual Github will not be that useful if you don't throw some money at it.
If you happen to be a student though, this problem disappears.
It's hard to find problems with Github. Every problem that could appear is fixed quickly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Github for Open Source Software development for years and I recently started using it for my startup. It works great, it can be used by non-technical people, it can be integrated with other great softwares like Slack and Jenkins: our workflow is really great.
GitHub makes collaborating on code projects easy
What do you like best about the product?
GitHub is centred around merge requests, which encourage peer review early on and help work with feature branches. Its user interface is slick and friendly towards new users, it even lets you create commits by simply editing files on the website. The enterprise edition lets you run it on your own hardware. It integrates nicely with web-enabled services like CI, build and messaging systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
GitHub does not allow you as much fine grained control over which users/teams have access to which repositories/branches/files/actions as other tools written specifically for this task. It is also impossible to write scripts for gits built-in hooks system, offering web hooks as an alternative.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a lot of code developed by many developers. GitHub lets us keep it in a central place where it is easy to manage and even managers can get a simple overview of what's being done technically.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you develop open source software, or your developers are already familiar with GitHub from open source projects, it's worthwhile considering GitHub or GitHub Enterprise for work. Consider both before you make your decision.
Open source my software on GitHub
What do you like best about the product?
my friend and I can work as a team to produce a better software. there are issues, pull request to trace bugs and new features, and welcome more people join in and contribute. This is the core of open source, let more people know, use and contribute.
pull request the feature that i like most. and i like to contribute to other software in github and I feel very proud of that. through this action, i made more friends.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. the speed i clone or access code from GitHub sometime is very slow. maybe we need build more servers and datacenter.
2. and code review is weak, we need a more powerful code review page to review code. and should support docker and more new tools.
3. we need a build-in CI system to do Continuous Integration, and get feedback as soon as possible, but GitHub does not have it.

a well-proven web-based frontend for git that expands the limits of source code maintenance
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite feature of Github is simply the way it creates a community of developers who may discover each other and collaborate on projects they otherwise might never have had a chance to become involved with. There is a news feed that shows all of the changes to any project a user may be "watching." Each user is able to see the repositories created and forked by each other user, and can sometimes see work done on a project's fork long before any pull request is received.
What do you dislike about the product?
Github has a nice graphical representation of the contributions made by each user on their own profile page. Unfortunately, these graphs only represent contributions made within the past year, and only those that have been pushed (or merged) to the master branch of a given project. I really like this feature, but I find that all of my "really cool" work tends to sit in a branch and doesn't get merged to a master branch until long after that feeling of excitement dies off. Developers really like to be able to show off their latest work, and I find that these limitations take away from that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Github mainly for open source development, although I have also used the private repositories feature for one of the companies that I've worked for in the past. When I worked for that company, our usage style of Github was very much like the style of open source development that I have become familiar with over the years. Github makes it easy for users to collaborate on projects without having face to face contact.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are new to Github, you should explore the site in its entirety. I, as a user, was only using the repository feature. Only recently, I found that Github also has a mechanism for easily creating project web pages. There are so many features of Github that I have yet to discover -- I never realized how much I've needed these features until I started using them.
A reference in opensource and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The "fork & hack" approach makes it easy for anyone to contribute to projects, without the hassle of patches and email.
A clear interface allows to easily browse large repositories looking for code, issues, or changes.
The integrated issue tracker is somewhat limited (labels+milestones) but sufficient for most needs, and makes it easy for projects of any size to start using the tool.

What do you dislike about the product?
The "is-fork-of" relation is somewhat simplistic, all the more when you can only have one fork in your account.
No "or" operator when searching issues make it difficult to get the view you want on large projects.
The "fork & hack" model still relies a lot on the original author, and it's difficult for the community to step in on under-maintained projects.
Pull request pages don't keep a history of the changesets (the way a patch-based system like Rietveld does) unless they have been commented on, which makes it sometimes difficult to understand what happened.

Using GitHub for opensource software development
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Also consider:
Gitlab, opensource and deployable for free on your own hardware
Bitbucket, which allows free unlimited repositories, if <5 collaborators
Gitorious and Google Code are being retired, SourceForge's future is grey.
