Overall Satisfaction with GitHub
GitHub is currently being used by our Software Development Group as source control repository. This solved a problem with remote employees or when working offline to allow software developers to continue to work and when connected to merge their source code and get latest. This tool makes it easier for code reviews and manage source code that will make it to the next step in the release process.
- Working offline
- Merging source code
- Having multiple branches at once
- No testing service for source code
- There is a bit of a learning curve when switching to GitHub
- GUI interface is lacking or hard to understand, better to use commands
- Allowed offline developers to continue working (especially during travel).
- Saved us money and time when merging code vs TFS.
- Once the developers got past the learning curve, it has allowed us to focus more on coding and reviews and less time fussing with source control issues.
Bitbucket actually allows you to integrate with GitHub which is a nice feature. But if you are into the Atlassian suite (JIRA, Confluence, etc.) then Bitbucket might be a no brainer as they work together better. GitHub allows you to have a free wiki whereas with Bitbucket that is another tool you need to buy.
