Overall Satisfaction with GitHub

Github is being used for version control and feature branches for our main website. The tech team is the only person with access to push or pull from the repository. Our industry is changing very rapidly, and so, the tech team is charged with adjusting our front-facing website hourly, and sometimes this causes conflicts when one of the team members is also doing a similar task. Thus, GitHub allows us all to stay in tune and be in perfect unison when it comes to deploying code out to the web.
  • Version Control - You can see the progression of where you started to where you are today, and if need be, rewind to a certain time in the past and use that version if need be.
  • Storage Space - There are really no limits to the amount of information you can keep in one place.
  • Collaboration - Contributors can be one or can be many, and GitHub keeps track of each instance by the author.
  • UI - Although there is a readme file that can be made to look pretty, over the UI is very dry.
  • App or web app - If there we an easier way to integrate with GitHub versus the command line, I am sure the number of users would increase dramatically.
  • Glossary of Actions - There is not one place to which one author could go to find an absolute glossary of what actions do and what those actions are. Very hard to decipher the amount of information available on the web.
  • We have once had to revert back to an older version, and was able to with no headache thanks to GitHub!
  • The minimal cost has been well worth the security of knowing that nothing is going to happen with our repository.
  • Happiness has come easy for our tech team which is priceless.
GitHub is less expensive with an easier learning curve.
Support for GitHub is truly open-sourced, so finding the most credible source is the hardest part.

For software developers, web developers, and code developers in general, GitHub allows you to actually see your developments historically, and there is no limit amount of stored history that I am aware of. Keeping your code to look back or even reference from time to time is a great well worth the cost associated with both mental and physical costs.
