Infrastructure Manager/Deployment Manager at Hivedome Consultancy Services
It has a large community, so there are lots of resources
Pros and Cons
- "Git is a product everyone uses, so it's almost inescapable. I like the fact that there is a large ecosystem around it. You can bolt various graphical user interfaces onto it or sign up for various repositories like GitHub and AWS CodeCommit. Git has a large community, so there are lots of resources and knowledge bases you can use."
- "The scalability could be better. I think it requires some discipline to have large teams working on the same project without facing problems merging code. I'm using Git for personal projects, but I know companies face merge conflicts when more than one person is working on code simultaneously."
What is our primary use case?
I'm doing little projects to teach myself things and storing them in a Git repository. We have about 20 users at my company. We're open to using it more.
What is most valuable?

Digital Transformation Specialist at Technovert
Straightforward setup but not user-friendly
Pros and Cons
- "The repository management and check-in/check-out commands are the most valuable features for ensuring secure code."
- "It's not very user-friendly."
What is our primary use case?
Version control and repository management are the main use cases for Git.
What is most valuable?
The repository management and check-in/check-out commands are the most valuable features for ensuring secure code. It's a client-side tool that we install in our local company and connect to the cloud product for use cases.
What needs improvement?
It should be more user-friendly. Git provides important commands for projects. It's not very user-friendly, but it's okay.

Centralized code access with strong version control and remote availability
Pros and Cons
- "The best feature is that we can access it from anywhere if we have GitHub credentials."
- "There is nothing that could be improved at this time."
What is our primary use case?
I use Git to store our code and maintain different versions, and for some projects, we use CI/CD as part of GitHub.
How has it helped my organization?
We centralize all our code in Git, which makes it very useful. Having the code centralized means we can easily access it and control its version efficiently.
What is most valuable?
The best feature is that we can access it from anywhere if we have GitHub credentials. There is also a private option where our code is accessible only to our organization. Additionally, if there are issues with a local machine, the code can be pulled from GitHub anytime, anywhere, which is another great option.
What needs improvement?
There is nothing that could be improved at this time.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Git for almost three years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Git is very stable. It never breaks down.

A solution useful for creating and uploading codes with ease
Pros and Cons
- "Git is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
- "If other people are included in their project, you're going to have to make merge requests to merge the code you made, and the code your colleagues have made. So it's a little bit complicated."
What is our primary use case?
I use Git mainly to create new reports to store my project and to keep track of the changes I made in my code. So these are the main reasons why all people use Git.
How has it helped my organization?
I did use it in my organization as well. I did use it personally, but it was very easy to use it by yourself, especially when you create and upload your code, it's easy. If other people are included in their project, you're going to have to make merge requests to merge the code you made, and the code your colleagues have made. So it's a little bit complicated. So, when I started using it in my organization, It was a bit messy, but I finally got it.
What is most valuable?
Speaking about features, it helps to keep track of your code if it changes, especially to find who made the changes. The solution also makes it easy for other people to change your code.
What needs improvement?
I don't think it does need any improvement for now since Git is a free, open-source project.
To be honest, I didn't even get close to seeing all its current features. So, I can't imagine any new features that I would be able to recommend.
If it was possible to pay for a Git solution, I would pay for it. However, it's difficult in my country. So I mainly enjoy the free solution.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Git for four years. Also, I am using the solution's latest version.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Git is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I don't think that it is even possible to count it as a scalable tool.
How are customer service and support?
I never tried to reach tech support.
How was the initial setup?
GitHub and GitLab were pretty good repositories for Git servers. So, I was using the solution on the cloud.
I did not deploy it. I was using already deployed solutions like GitLab and GitHub. I never did even try to deploy it.
What was our ROI?
I think it's a good investment, but I'm using the free version of the solution.
What other advice do I have?
My recommendation to others to use the solution would depend on their usage. If it's for their personal use, it's going to be easy. But if he was going to use it in an organization or for a personal project with a lot of friends or colleagues, then that would be a different story. You need to be concentrated, and I think a lot before making any changes to the code because every mistake can create a lot of problems.
I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.
