Overall Satisfaction with GitHub

I use GitHub as my source control service. I can easily track the code change, branch the projects, and go back to the previous change. It can also share the project files, collaborate with others, and showcase my coding experience. Also, I can get open source codes from other developers to use and to modify for new projects.
  • Source control
  • Programming collaboration
  • Developers community to share knowledge base
  • User interface
  • Free private repository
  • Language localization
  • Cost efficient. It is free.
  • Abundant resources. By Re-using the code, save time and cost.
  • Save time when you need to go back to previous changes.
GitHub is good for open source projects, well known in the society and the community is well established. You can showcase your coding skill and share your code. Also, it is already integrated with many IDE such as Microsoft Visual Studio, Ruby on Rails, etc. GitHub is de-facto standard as a source control.
It is good for especially open source projects. You can share and showcase the code publicly. However, this is not suitable if you do not want to share the code with others unless you pay for private repositories. And probably it is not suitable for projects that are for your clients and internal projects.
