Overall Satisfaction with GitHub

GitHub helps my organization to host Source code repository without hassle. Dependa Bots and Integrations with third-party apps are great, A lot of options are available.GitHub package repository and Container Registry is also very useful. No doubt GitHub is an awesome source code management, also it offers to host repositories for free which is a great support to the open-source community and contributors.
  • GitHub helps my organization to host Source code repository without hassle.
  • Dependa Bots and Integrations with third-party apps are great, A lot of options are available.
  • GitHub package repository and Container Registry is also very useful.
  • Lack of rich CI/CD which is better by all means in GitLab.
  • GitHub should focus on CI/CD they are very good at source code repository hosting.
  • Dosen't provide [a] self managed offering. We can't download, install, and setup our own GitHub server if we want to use GitHub we can use Github.com only.
  • GitHub helps us securely host our source code repositories without any hassle.
  • GitHub's built in container and package registry.
  • Its integration with other DevOps Tools.
  • Its built in continuous Integration feature known as GitHub Actions and managed build agents (GitHub Actions Runner).
  • Earlier we were managing container and package registries, but not doing it anymore. GitHub takes care of it and we're saving [time] spent on using container and package registries.
  • Its built-in CI helped us reduce dependency on Jenkins. In some of the cases where we don't require a lot of things to do we can use GitHub actions and half of our Jenkins Jobs has been migrated from Jenkins -> GitHub actions.

Yes

Did implementation of GitHub go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy GitHub again?

Yes

No doubt GitHub is the best source code management tool and all other source control tools are influenced by Github only. Also, it offers to host source code repositories for free which is great support for all the open-source communities and contributors. If you're fine with hosting your repositories on a SaaS based source control platform it's good to GO! But in case you want to set up your own source control server and host source code repositories then GitHub is not for you.
