GitHub Reviews

We primarily use the solution for sourcing candidates.

I like finding individuals with more repositories and more followers, et cetera. It’s great to find the talent who is available and has particular skills.

The solution is scalable.

I do not think they have to increase storage. There’s enough.

From the recruiting standpoint, I would like to see email IDs and phone numbers and a brief introduction about their profile.

I’ve been using the solution for about a year.

The solution is very scalable. It’s expandable if you need it to be.

I’m not sure how many people use the solution in our company.

I’ve never used technical support in the past. I can’t speak to how helpful or responsive they would be.

Positive

We did not previously use a different solution.

There isn’t really an initial setup to deal with.

I can’t speak to the exact cost of the solution.

I’m a customer and end-user.

I’d rate the solution eight out of ten.

We use the solution when developing new code or modifying existing code, changes are tracked and other team members can review the code before production. 

The ability to track external changes to repositories we are using has been very useful for us. If we have a piece of code that's being implemented and it makes use of modules that we're calling externally from, let's say NPM, and a defect is found in one of those NPM modules, we're immediately alerted that a defect has been found in libraries outside of our code space. This enables us to keep in touch with defects that other people have discovered in the code that we're using. GitHub informs us as other users discover broken code, which allows us to deal with issues very quickly, without investigation on our part. 

The versioning of the code and the tracking of changes are definitely some of my top features. 

The ability to code reviews with peers.

The automatic checking to make sure that any of the code in my repository is not out of date with any modules that I'm making use of.

The solution could have better support for the Markdown language.

I've been using the solution for over ten years, probably since its beginning. 

The solution is very stable, they have been working on it for over a decade. 

The product is extremely scalable. We've seen applications that are hundreds of thousands of lines of code and it doesn't have any problems working with them.

I'm a contractor for the Department of Veteran Affairs, and we've easily got several thousand people making use of the code just within the VA itself. It's being used by almost everyone on a product development team, including project managers, testers, developers, and documentation specialists.

The support is very good. We make use of Slack for communication and we have dedicated technical support for GitHub right in our Slack, which allows us to get responses within minutes from their technical support team.

The initial setup was very simple.  

It really depends on the application we're working on. I've seen deployments take as little as 15 or 20 minutes to push out a code change, up to hours or days depending on the functions that we're changing.

We implemented the solution via an in-house team. 

Due to the cloud environment, we don't need anyone for maintenance, that's all done by GitHub.

We have an enterprise licensing agreement, and I am not part of the finance department so I can't say how much it costs. 

I would rate GitHub a nine out of ten. 

The implementation is a hybrid public and private cloud. GitHub in some ways is similar to NPM, but it is a code repository primarily for code versioning systems. It's all cloud-based and we just upload our code to it. There are functions within GitHub that will take and monitor the code that's uploaded and any NPM repositories that it makes use of, and confirms that your code is making use of the latest code repositories. Anytime there is a discrepancy or an upgrade to one of the code repositories, it lets you know what that upgrade is.

They're constantly making improvements to the environment, adding new features and functionality. The new features and functions that they're coming out with are available to me sometimes before I realize I even need them.

We use GitHub extensively with any new product we are developing and we're going to keep doing it that way. I would advise anyone to implement this solution. 

We used the product for CI/CD.

I like the CI/CD features. The tool was easy for me to use because I had used it for a long time. GitHub is a leader in the domain. Others copy GitHub.

The stability can be improved.

I have used the solution for 15 years.

I rate the tool’s stability a ten out of ten. The vendor modifies many things and provides new releases regularly.

The tool is very scalable and reliable. There is no loss in quality.

It is easy to set up the account and give permissions to others.

The product can be deployed in-house.

The product is reasonably priced.

I have also used GitLab. There is not much difference between GitLab and GitHub.

I used GitHub in my previous organization. In my current organization, we mostly use Azure. GitHub is easy to use and easy to manage. It's good for integration and for multi-worker projects. It is robust. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

GitHub is essentially a repository of code. It's where you source your code with the client and allows you to use Git. You get versioning and everything else for multiple deployments or codes. That's how we use it.

We stopped the development code on our machines, and we moved everything to GitHub. So, everyone is working on the latest code no matter what we do.

The accessibility is free.

There is room for improvement in terms of interface because  I had a problem with developers who didn't know what GitHub was, and it was a little bit strange to explain. 

I have been using GitHub for three years. We use the latest version. 

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.

The scalability is very good. It has never let me down.

The initial setup is okay. You need to know what you're doing.

I saw 100% ROI. 

Price is free. 

It is way better than developing software by yourself. I would definitely recommend using the solution.

Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten.

We are using GitHub for the development environment. After we develop some applications, we are pushing actually on both settings. 

I would like to see more security where a plugin was available for us to update in relation to security.

I have been using GitHub for the past seven years.

We are finding GitHub is very stable. Because it is the one that we are actually using on the cloud, it is easy for actual resources.

We currently did not choose the option with the subscription, but the free version actually provided by GitHub and GitLab is acceptable for us. Maybe the institution wants to increase the number of developers to twenty from what we currently have three, then definitely we will increase and prefer to have additional services from GitHub as well as GitLab.

Technical support is excellent on a scale of one to ten I give technical support a ten.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward and easy. For someone who has actually good experience in software development, including using a repository solution, I think it is easy. Beginners need to refer to the manual and see some online tutorials to receive assistance so that it is easier for them to setup.

You can do the deployment in-house without a problem.

We are currently paying nothing for GitHub.

I think I remember Tortu was the name of the product. There is a Q Balance in our repository providers. I think that one is Microsoft. I do not know exactly, but we are not using it. We tried it but we returned to GitHub.

If you are working in development I would recommend using GitHub. I would rate GitHub a ten out of ten.

I use GitHub for work and personal projects.

With pull requests into the project, all the different repositories are there, and we make the changes there.

GitHub has everything. All the integrations with different applications are really good. GitHub's transparency is also valuable; when something happens, you have a status online.

The solution is really good. I cannot think of improvement needs. 

I have been using GitHub for four or five years.

I faced one or two breakdowns. That said, they lasted only for a few seconds or a minute. However, GitHub keeps us informed with their status updates, so you know it's not you but GitHub, ensuring transparency.

The support team is good. They provide an online status when something happens. It is reassuring to know that it's not your problem but GitHub's, which shows transparency.

Positive

It's really easy to set up. The initial setup and the deployment are also easy to manage.

I do not know about the pricing because I do not pay anything. It's free for me.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

We use GitHub to share the source code and can give users different permissions to use different parts of the project. Whenever a developer changes a source code, it can push it easily, and others can see the change and who made it.

It is a very good solution. GitHub allows the backup of our source code. So we are sure that if all the computers in our company crash and the hardware fails, we can access our code on GitHub. Also, in the past, every repository we built was publicly available to anyone, and others could see our source code, but now we can make a private repository and share it with our team. This feature is very valuable and good for us.

It is very tricky to work with GitHub. For example, it is difficult to merge a code or restore it to an older version. It would be great if they provided a tool that merges the code better and more intelligently.

We have been using this solution for ten years.

It is very stable. Whenever it is connected, it always works, and we love it.

It is scalable. We can easily extend to team members, with a team of about six or seven people in a GitHub repository. Most users are developers, but we can also provide viewing access to others. We don't have any distinct plans to increase our usage of GitHub.

We have not used technical support because GitHub has a large community of users, so if there is an issue, we can find the solution on Google.

We did not use any other solutions before GitHub.

The initial setup was very easy.

It is a free solution. 

I rate this solution a ten out of ten. I recommend GitHub to others to back up their source code or share it among different people on the same project. GitHub is integrated very well with Microsoft Visual Studio and .NET. For example, if we make a project inbox for Visual Studio, we can push the code to GitHub by adding our account to Visual Studio.

Our organization uses GitHub for version control.

GitHub allows you to create pages, if you want to share documents you can create articles and diagrams with GitHub and share.

On a personal level, GitHub assists you to create your own website.

GitHub uses basic configuration, but messaging is not clear. For example, when a database denies a username and password, it says "asking for person accepted".

I would like to see improvements with merging code from multiple branches. When more than one developer is working at the same time, it becomes complicated. It very much depends on the person doing the merging. There is no assistance from the tool itself. If a mistake is made, the tool will not be able to correct it. It would benefit from an automated checker.

I have been working with GitHub for five years.

The solution is stable.

GitHub is scalable. Our organization has 1,000 people. Approximately 80% would be using GitHub.

The initial setup of GitHub is very simple.

I would give GitHub a nine out of ten overall.
