We performed a comparison between Git and GitHub based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Version Control solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Git is a powerful and mature tool that all software engineers use, whether they use it from the command line with the original version or integrate it with various tools. It helps by promoting collaboration and eliminating problems with code in separate locations. This greatly boosts productivity since you're not lost in a massive local repository, and everything remains organized."
"Git offers the ability to roll back to the previous version. You can also track all the small changes that you do."
"The most valuable feature is having access to the local country repository even if we have problems with distance access."
"The product is easy to use."
"The tool's most valuable feature is branch workflows."
"The implementation is easy."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Since I am a very simple user of the tool, its scalability is good for me."
"You can have a central code repository using Git and have local code branches."
"Has great integration with third-party tools."
"We use GitHub as a repository."
"I find GitHub very user friendly."
"This product allows us to easily collaborate on development tasks with our subcontractors, and control the workflow as the project progresses."
"The best feature is the ability to track the history of all code changes, and it's easy to use. Additionally, as it's open source, anyone can use that feature resulting in distributed development. This opens the door to collaboration with different code and developer, feature, and master branches of development."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the version control field."
"GitHub provides good time reduction and this is what I value the most."
"This solution is just easy to use."
"Git's user interface could be improved."
"Synchronization could be better. Sometimes when you create a branch and merge it into another branch, I think it's a bit complex for no reason. The initial setup is also tricky when you do it for the first time."
"Some challenges arise when Git is not used correctly, particularly in managing branches. It's easy to get lost, but these challenges can be overcome with proper management. A common advice is maintaining the repository and ensuring developers are in sync with the production branch. Branches should be promptly merged into development to avoid getting lost in many branches."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model of Git."
"The tool's user interface is terrible. It needs to be more user-friendly."
"More security is always welcome in my opinion."
"We would like to see tutorials added to the product, for new users to follow so that they can optimize their use of the solution."
"About the configuration it is a little bit difficult, it can be improved."
"Scalability is an area with a shortcoming, because of which it has room for improvement."
"We would like this solution to have a more user-friendly interface."
"I cannot recall coming across any shortcomings of the product."
"They're improving the work items to track the progress of the team, but in my experience, Azure DevOps is better in this functionality. GitHub needs to improve the form to track the progress of the work done by a team."
"The ticketing system is not working."
"The product must document the CI/CD process more."
"I would like to see integration with Slack such that all of the changes made in GitHub are reflected there."
"GitHub could have better integration or capability with other solutions."
