Overall Satisfaction with GitHub
I was a technical project manager for a big automotive client. My role was to create educational simulations for automotive technicians. In doing so, I played a team leader role in storing repositories/source code for each of the projects that I manage. We were concerned about longevity, security and management of code and GitHub addressed all of the above.
- Version control
- Code Checkout and check-in
- Security
- Single Sign-On
- Accessibility - even for developers that are outside of our organization
- Integration with open source project management
- I wish to see more hooks developed for project management platforms
- Cost Control
- Overall GitHub allowed PMs to focus on managing talents instead of source code
- Github reduced the overhead cost of actually obtaining hardware to store source code not to mention all of the technical implementations
GitHub has the most users and the most features and integrations even as a free version.
