Overall Satisfaction with GitHub
We used Github in our organization, literally for everything as a code repository. First problem it solved is we didn't have the need to develop a tool to find the code diff and is used a repository for multiple versions.
- Versioning.
- Code difference is easy to find out.
- Easier to integrate with many Cloud based applications or anywhere as it support API's.
- I feel the first thing where GitHub needs improvement is they provide code hooks, but the code hooks need to have multiple other functionality to integrate with other notification systems.
- The UI has to be modified to give a much cleaner interface for code difference, like having a split screen to view the code changes side to side.
- Positive Impact : Saved tons of money in maintaining the infrastructure.
- Negative Impact: With the rise in the number of users and different scenarios, I guess GitHub, needs more options to perform pre and post git hooks.
- CodeCommit
It's way easier to use and integrate with other applications as it was the first application that was created. Even though, I feel there has to be improvements on how to handle the branching in Github, with constant use I feel pretty much comfortable.
