And it seems some basic features such as branch locking as hidden behind a paywall now. ----- ### "10 years using Github as a TPM and developer" — 5.0/5 > **Jim** | *7 November 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use is the best part of GitHub, you can choose to set up your Git server, but you can also use Github.com directly for personal usage or open source project. And since there are so many teams using it, means the bugs and issues will be solved very quickly. > > **Cons**: Flexibility sometimes also means too many choice, different teams can choose different client tools, such as SourceTree, Github desktop, IDE plugin (for example, Eclipse, VS studio, etc..) > > Very good, I have used Github for over 10 years, until now, it is still my only VCS for side projects and working porjects. ----- ### "Good for work examples" — 3.0/5 > **Jade** | *19 April 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a recruiter it was helpful for work examples and able to show hiring managers the candidates skillset > > **Cons**: If your not a developer it can be quite hard to navigate and understand > > Okay but could be better in terms of a non developer using it ----- ### "Keeps it simple and polished" — 4.0/5 > **Ioannis** | *19 August 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: No-nonsense UI - it is one of the few where I never got use out of the "Zapper" tool of uBlock Origin, as everything has its place. Very good documentation for all parts of GitHub. Strong integrations with just about everything that affects a software development lifecycle. Clear ways to interact with it through many forms, including a rich command line client. Also, a high number of developers are on it which is a great boon for open source projects. > > **Cons**: Data portability - the issue tracker is deliberately quite simple (and I don't think it should be made more complex) but after a certain point, does not scale to everyone's needs. It is hard to move off of GitHub, at least for tracking issues. The pull request review process is quite noisy and sometimes hard to get to grips with. For example, it's not clear that you need to "Submit" your review to actually propose changes. The propose changes feature is very nice as it means you don't have to leave your browser, but is not very clearly exposed in the UI. Some social elements are undesirable, like "Achievements", which lead to drive-by interactions with open source projects. Their users are "in GitHub", but not "in projects" so to speak. I believe this creates poor incentives for the open source community, as it brings people further apart from becoming long term contributors, as they are chasing virtual badges instead of real community engagement. > > Positive - it has historically and I would say it is still one of the best when it comes to keeping it simple. They have been conservative with adding features and I believe that's the right approach on the whole. ----- ### "Github gets a thumbs up" — 5.0/5 > **Tony** | *22 September 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Having used git locally for quite some time, github seemed the natural progression. I've tried other systems (BitBucket and GitLab and many many years ago SourceSafe which wasnt online, it was a LAN based product). I used github prior to its purchase by Microsoft and was pleased to see that whereas previously private repo's needed a paid account, since Microsofts purchase, you can now have private repo's on their free service. Recently I've started getting into CI/CD and so have been getting involved in the Actions service, which gives you build time on their servers for deployment. I'd used AWS previously for CI/CD and found the Github actions were far easier to set up and they provide a reasonable amount of processor minutes per month for free which I haven't yet breached so it's a free service there too\! Not only is it a remote repository for tracking changes and allowing multiple people to develop in the same system, it also provides a remote offsite backup of your source. As far as value for money is concerned, its brilliant because it's free but even if you go for the paid option, the last time I checked it was about £7 a month > > **Cons**: The secret variables that you can create in actions are a "write once, never see them again" system. Variables can be used in Actions to control what you want the build script to do based on which branch you are in - ie one variable might be created for the master branch for live builds and another for staging or dev builds. I know they are secrets but sometimes it can be really helpful to check what the value is to try to debug what might be happening in the build process (even if you echo the value during the build process, most of the output is replaced with \*\*\*\*). It would be useful to require re-entry of username/password and 2fa details and to then be shown the details - even if each variable needed to go through the same process > > Overall its a good system, the best source control system I've used and whenever you search online for code, its github that tends to be the place other people use to store their open source contributions - you don't often see others being used, although I have seen GitLab more than anything else. ----- Page: 1 / 250\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/90537/github?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/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
