I have relied on it daily since around 2018 for personal projects and open source contributions. ----- ### "Great for Collaboration and Code Management" — 5.0/5 > **Bonface** | *3 May 2025* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about GitHub is how seamless it makes collaboration across development teams. The ability to track changes through version control, manage branches, and open pull requests has really helped us maintain clean and organized codebases. The GitHub Actions automation feature also saves a lot of time during deployment. It’s reliable and easy to integrate with other tools we already use. > > **Cons**: One thing that can be a bit confusing, especially for newer team members, is the learning curve with Git commands and how branching works. While the platform itself is great, it sometimes assumes a certain level of experience with version control, which can slow things down for beginners. Also, the notifications can get overwhelming if you’re watching multiple repositories. > > My experience with GitHub has been very positive overall. It’s a reliable platform for hosting code, managing projects, and collaborating with others. Whether I’m working solo or with a team, GitHub helps keep everything organized through issues, pull requests, and commits. Over time, it’s become a central part of my workflow, and it integrates well with other tools like VS Code and Slack. There’s a bit of a learning curve at the start, but once you get used to it, it really improves how you manage code. ----- ### "Very Confusing to Use" — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 August 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing. I couldn't figure out how to use it. > > **Cons**: It was very confusing - once I logged in, I could go no further > > I was able to sign p easily, but after that I was totally lost ----- ### "The essential tool for every software developer" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *19 January 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The​‍​‌‍​‍‌ free tier offers a lot of value, it even allows unlimited private repositories which is just great for my individual projects. I really like GitHub Actions as well; it really simplifies the process of setting up CI/CD pipelines compared to other tools. It being the industry standard, integration with IDEs such as VS Code is very ​‍​‌‍​‍‌smooth. > > **Cons**: When​‍​‌‍​‍‌ it comes to serious conflicts during merges or the use of a CLI, learning for beginners may take a steep curve. There were also times that the UI felt a little bit cluttered because the settings menus were packed with so many ​‍​‌‍​‍‌features. > > I​‍​‌‍​‍‌ use GitHub daily for both version control and collaboration. It's dependable, quick, and safe. Besides, the feature of starring repositories and forking open-source projects allows one to learn from other developers. I simply couldn’t work without ​‍​‌‍​‍‌it. ----- ### "An essential everyday tool" — 5.0/5 > **Emanuele** | *17 March 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: My favourite features of Github are: - "issues" to track and discuss feature requests and bugs - pull requests to propose changes and discuss them in comments by dedicated UI - github actions for automatic deployment and continuous integration - "Projects" form project management > > **Cons**: I can't find anything that doesn't fit my current workflow and my team's one. > > Github is an essential tool for those who work as programmer, both alone and in a team. If you use it alone, it offers version control, access to code from web UI, actions for deployment and continuous integration. If I use it within a team, it allows you to control the work of collaborators, create pull requests and predict the impact of changes, discuss pull requests through a dedicated commenting gui, track issues and discuss them with collaborators. "Projects" is another powerful tool to manage development end deadlines in a team workflow, but even if you work alone is very useful to organize development. ----- Page: 1 / 247\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ae/software/90537/github?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ae/software/90537/github) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
