Overall Satisfaction with Git

Git is mainly used in my organisation by the technical team who are mainly responsible for project delivery. It provides us with an avenue for version control and code management. It addresses the risk of time and effort loss during project implementation.
  • Version control and backups
  • Branching and merging
  • Open source
  • High learning curve for beginners
  • Primarily aimed at technical users
  • Built-in GUI is hard to navigate and use.
  • Reduced time spent on version control
  • Reduced time spend on merging branches and different features that were developed in parallel
  • Reduced time spent on distributing latest changes to the rest of the team
  • Reduced cost of implementation
N/A. No other products like Git were used.
Very suitable for the project implementation stage, where version control is required. It is more suitable for files that mainly involve text formatting for change/version tracking. It is less appropriate in situations where entire files change rapidly on each commit (e.g. image/graphic design files). Git is less suited for management personnel.
