Overall Satisfaction with GitHub
Github is used as a code repository and a version control system. It is used by our engineering, analytics and data science teams. The same was true about my previous company as well. It is very helpful when you are collaborating with others on code and when you need to know how something works. Searching through Github or looking through how a piece of code was changed can answer almost all questions.
- Robust functionality with many features for version control and collaboration
- Widely used and almost everyone has basic familiarity with Git
- Unintuitive to use. Can take a while to ramp up with and to get comfortable with using. Simple version control is easy, but many things that could be implemented in much more intuitive ways are complicated to do.
- Saves time by making code accessible and searchable
- Helps with collaborative software development
Github has been used in every place I have worked at.
