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.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.

Good to host repositories, bad in review and control
What do you like best about the product?
Powerful in hosting repositories. Web interaction is good and it give lot of options to users to customize his own web space and also some simple links of repositories to work with.
It gives you nice options to show graph and pulse kind of things for a repo..
Gives good enough details about repository, like commits, branch and total contributions.
You can easily switch between branches and download source code via zip or git clone

What do you dislike about the product?
Its not at all good for review purpose. Also, setting restriction on repositories is not as easy as in gerrit.
Its not as tightly coupled with Continuous Integration tools as gerrit is and this lacking lot of advantages over when you use gerrit with CI tools.
Access restrictions are not as simple and flexible as in gerrit..

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hosting all our git repositories.
Its simple for developers to view GUI based source and traverse between branches.

Good and solid for hosting repositories but do not expect much in terms of CI automation and review capabilities
My favorite code-hosting service
What do you like best about the product?
Clean, sleek and intuitive user interface. The pricing model for organizations is very reasonable. I have never experienced down time with their service. I also liked how easily I was able to integrate my organization's repository into my personal GitHub account.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since GitHub has made private repositories free, there's not anything I dislike about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitHub makes it extremely easy to do code reviews with inline comments. It has a decent issue tracker as well that we use to file bugs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Unless you're an individual developer looking for a code-hosting service that provides private repositories for free, GitHub is the best choice out there.
Great tool for every developer
What do you like best about the product?
Free access to open source repos. Free, easy collaboration with developers in amateur settings. Powerful, inexpensive collaboration in professional settings. The Octo-Kitty is pretty great.
We integrate with Slack, Jira, and Heroku. At this point pretty much our entire deployment pipeline is driven by GitHub.

What do you dislike about the product?
Notifications can be pretty hard to manage. I feel like I get hammered with too many to process, and there have been times that I realized that I missed a comment on a repo from more than a year ago... and I'm on the site every day!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Software collaboration, and managing communication between developers on a team. Deployment, Continuous integration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a developer, there is no place like GitHub. Just browse around and check out the all the amazing stuff, and take advantage of their features to protect your code and preserve your sanity while working with others.
