Cloud-based collaboration path and speed have doubled for development teams

Reduces project delivery times and costs

Pros

"The tool is valuable because it helps us work in a distributed environment with multiple people across different locations and time zones. We have a common repository that everyone works on, which would be tough to manage manually. GitHub helps us maintain this single source of truth. Everyone can check out their own branches, which is important for our branching strategies. We can fork, check out feature branches, work on our code, and merge back into parent branches for deployment. This is crucial when multiple people are working on the same codebase. "

Cons

"I think one area where GitHub could improve is its search and navigation functionality within repositories. For example, we use IDEs like IntelliJ or Visual Studio Code when developing code. These IDEs allow us to easily navigate from one piece of code to another file where a method is being called. It would be really helpful if the solution could add this navigation feature. "

Available at a pocket-friendly price and can be used for code management

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase is easy but it is always good to connect with GitHub's team that manages APIs."

Cons

"The support team needs to have a well-defined SLA model since it is an area where the tool currently has some shortcomings."

Improved our team's productivity by simplifying code merging and enabling effective branching strategies

Pros

"It provides Draft Pull Requests for review purposes without needing immediate merging and GitHub Actions for CI/CD implementation."

Cons

"One area for improvement in GitHub could be integration with other tools, such as test management or project management tools."

Helps users to share repositories with other developers and is available for free

Pros

"The tool also helps organize collaboration by allowing users to share a repository with other developers."

Cons

"Specifically, I want the solution to offer AI-based merging support, as it is the only area where the product has certain shortcomings."
