GitHub requires enhancements in integration with CI/CD and project management tools, and improvements in security features and upload speeds for large files. Users seek better UI and navigation, more comprehensive documentation, and refined code merging capabilities to handle conflicts effectively. Training materials and more automation options are also desired. Organizations face challenges with search functionality, reporting capabilities, and management of users and storage. Better integration with other platforms like Slack and Jenkins is requested.
