GitHub is a platform that hosts public and private code and provides software development and collaboration tools. Features include version control, issue tracking, code review, team management, syntax highlighting, etc. Personal plans ($0-50), Organizational plans ($0-200), and Enterprise plans are available.
Git is my favorite among all of the version control systems out there. It follows the Linux software philosophy of being built by many loosely coupled and small components that do one thing well. It's incredibly open, and its adoption in the open source community seems to be …
For us, we use both Git and GitHub so they were a package. I suppose you could use Git with another VCS/hosting service to track changes if it fit well enough, but for us we just went with design out of the box. We pay for the GitHub private repository for the extra security.
There are not many surviving alternatives for Git (maybe SVN) which in itself is quite meaningful. Git is the best versioning system of all time for programming, period. The difference between a good mathematical tool and sending .zip-s around emailing lists or FTP drives is so …
Git is the best Source Control Management Tool I've used. Every company, team, and project I've worked on professionally either used Git 100%, or was moving to Git, away from the alternatives like SVN. Git has all the features necessary, as well as a very large community of …
After using Subversion previously for a number of years, Git comes across as the new and improved source control approach. Git seems very suited to working with Agile:- branches can be created easily, allowing multiple developers to switch to them quickly, and having local …
GitHub is the ONLY version control system I've ever used. I used it from day 1 at Dev Bootcamp since they make a pretty big push for all students to learn git as a language and to use GitHub for version control. It is difficult to say how GitHub stacks up against the rest of …
Bitbucket has an interface that is much uglier and much more confusing to use. The learning curve is therefore much greater with Bitbucket. However, Bitbucket allows for free private repositories for small teams, which is a huge plus, and if your team is small enough, that …
GitHub holds up well against Gitlab and Bitbucket in terms of ease of use, documentation, support, and features for enterprise. However, it falls a bit flat on the pricing side with paid plans for private repos. It has been and remains the service of choice on which to post …
In my opinion, GitHub beats all of the competition.
The other services offer some things that could be considered benefits in some scenarios: Bitbucket has good integration with other Atlassian products, Gitlab is self-hosted and completely free, Beanstalk integrates with some …
Git and GitHub are so much easier to use. I didn't necessarily find the others that I've tried difficult, but they all had their quirks. GitHub has their quirks, but their quirks make sense once you really think about i. The other may or may not have command line options, …
The most direct competitor to GitHub that I can think of would be BitBucket from Atlassian. The biggest advantage that I know of for BitBucket would be that they support both git and Mercurial. If you have at least one team or project using Mercurial, then BitBucket would be …
Github and git, in general, is much better than SVN or Subversion for version tracking and code collaboration. It takes the best parts of SVN and fixes a lot of what was broken with it. Github's own UI has evolved really well over time and they have taken developer productivity …
We picked GitHub because it's what I was most familiar with when we started. We're testing out self-hosted Gitlab because it not only handles all the features we're using on GitHub, but it also has a continuous integration service which is currently implemented by a third party …
GitHub is the best git repository service available and the industry standard. It's fast, reliable, and constantly adding new services. Bitbucket and Gitlab are both good, free (or inexpensive) alternatives, but they lack some of the design and speed of GitHub. Both alternative …
Github has a much larger community of users than Gitlab, and its interface is slightly more 'clean' and easy to navigate. Github's brand name is also more recognizable and its users are generally very helpful and willing to contribute to exciting open source projects.
Along with Github, I've used Bitbucket and Gitlab. Bitbucket integrates with FishEye, which allows you to institute Code Reviews and create a viable merge process. Gitlab offers similar built in tools. With Github, I'm not aware of any similar features, but this is likely due …
I prefer GitHub on a personal level because it is free for personal use. It allows me to work on things with friends, or have easy access to open source software because of this.
[We selected GitHub because] It can easily integrate with different IDEs like Eclipse, Intellij and many more. Can fork and commit without any disturbance in the team; code conflicts can be easily resolved. Can easily monitor the changes made and revert if any bugs were …
Microsoft Team Foundation Server was too heavy and too complex for fast dvelopment. The integration with opensource build solutions (i.e jenkins) was not explored but the main feedback on this tool was its complexity. CVS and SVN used to be standards in past years and fit …
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.
Atlassian's Bitbucket and SourceTree products are Git compatible and in our opinion offer a more intelligible and well-organized UI. These products integrate with JIRA for project management, but these features come at a higher monetary cost than GitHub.
GitHub is the only Git Repository tool I have extensive experience with. As a free solution it's a powerful tool. And with minimal investment you are able to create private projects as well, which has an incredible return on investment.
The sole reason we are using GitHub is because everyone else is. I would say Bitbucket and GitLab are steps ahead of GitHub, but everyone is on and using GitHub so we should as well. I'm not saying that GitHub is a bad choice, but there are other options out there that provide …
Cleaner web interface and higher uptime. Bitbucket offers free private repositories and more formal pull request review features, so it is preferred for private/internal projects, but GitHub is better for hosting open source projects.
