Overall Satisfaction with GitHub

We're using GitHub for our entire software workflow cycle including code versioning, code review and approval, team collaboration on the code, and release management. Now, with actions, we're also building our Docker images and deploying them live, so it's a full CI/CD pipeline for us, all in a single package that's used by the entire development team.
  • Simple and intuitive.
  • Broad set of features.
  • Conflict management could be improved.
  • Searching is good but not great.
  • Nice pricing makes for a very fast ROI.
  • One single platform covers the entire software lifecycle workflow.
It was the broader set of features and how easy it is to browse the history that made us change to GitHub, and time has proven us right.
GitHub support was always there on the few times when we needed them, and have always proved to be very helpful.

Do you think GitHub delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Did GitHub live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of GitHub go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy GitHub again?

Yes

It's very well fitted for every software lifecycle use case. It's very easy to set up new repositories, both public and private, and to grant your teammates access to them. History tracking is also amazingly well implemented. What I like the most is that GitHub is always adding great new features. If you need it just for storing your binaries than it's not a great fit.
