Overall Satisfaction with GitHub
Our organization currently uses GitHub as a platform to collaborate with our remote developers on the new website that is in the works. Only the IT/Web Development team is using GitHub, the other employees would have no use for this platform. A major business problem GitHub solves is the ability to share code with our remote developers with efficient version control for editing.
- Codesharing
- Version Control Hosting - this keeps all the ducks in a row ... The ability to manage various stages of projects is a must with any changes or edits being made other than myself.
- Public Repositories - Free public repositories allow for outside professionals to suggest improvement and the ability to commit the changes an individual makes if you so desire.
- Private repositories are far too expensive
- Beginners: GitHub is definitely not the easiest to learn or understand. There are resources out there to assist you, but I found it much easier to understand the platform and its capabilities once I joined a team that was already well versed and could assist with any quick questions I may have had.
- Apple / Linux OS get the shortend of the stick and have to use the command line
- The ability to share, review, and edit code on an online platform for free is quite a positive impact on our overall business objectives. If you can utilize the platform properly, it can save your business quite a bit of money throughout any development process.
- Another positive impact is the written documentation throughout the development process ... This saves an incalculable amount of time and money for future developers and projects ... proper documentation for existing or new developers can truly expedite the projects timeline.
