Overall Satisfaction with GitHub

GitHub was used a previous place of employment of mine. It was used by several developers who wanted easy and fast access to the repository. It made it really easy to control our code base.

Pros

  • GitHub allows personal developers unlimited public repositories for free. This is a huge plus as it makes it great for your average developer.
  • The searching in GitHub is very well done.
  • It's basically the main hub for all open source software because it's so easily accessible to everyone.

Cons

  • Last I checked there was a file size restriction. There are probably good reasons behind this though.
  • At my previous place of employment we were able to develop things with a lot more stability than I had ever seen. GitHub made work much easier for us developers.
  • Being able to develop with more stability led us to getting products out the door quicker.
I prefer GitHub on a personal level because it is free for personal use. It allows me to work on things with friends, or have easy access to open source software because of this.
Overall it is a great version control software. I love that you can use all the power of Git with GitHub along with additional features that GitHub provides.
