We performed a comparison between Git and GitHub based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Version Control solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I find the most valuable about Git is that it is CLI and GUI-supported. People who do not like using the CLI mode can use the GUI mode."
"Git offers the ability to roll back to the previous version. You can also track all the small changes that you do."
"Git is a product everyone uses, so it's almost inescapable. I like the fact that there is a large ecosystem around it. You can bolt various graphical user interfaces onto it or sign up for various repositories like GitHub and AWS CodeCommit. Git has a large community, so there are lots of resources and knowledge bases you can use."
"The most valuable feature of Git is its reliability and user popularity."
"It is a pretty standard product with features like git clone and development branches."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the branch management functionality."
"I use the solution for website management."
"The most valuable feature of Git is the ease of tracking in time what the snapshot of the code was at a particular moment. The versioning is good."
"I have found GitHub stable."
"The code versioning is excellent, and having a detailed log, including every change made to the code by every developer, is invaluable. It makes it so that if there is a bug or problem in the product channel, we can find exactly where it happened and how to fix it."
"This solution is just easy to use."
"Has great integration with third-party tools."
"GitHub's source code management is top-notch. It's easy to inspect changes and visualize code and differences. Their action system is comprehensive in terms of making changes and automation."
"The code sharing and updated history are valuable features."
"The product has a very user-friendly interface and user-friendly security."
"The initial setup was easy."
"If another person raises a pull request under the same ID assigned to the previous person, and both parties modify the tool, their changes will be grouped together in the same request until it is closed, which is an issue."
"If the file changes are on the same line, we need to resolve a merge conflict manually. Let's say there is a merge conflict on line 50 because we have multiple commits on the same line number. Git could add some artificial intelligence to resolve the conflict automatically."
"New developers sometimes find it difficult to call a review or create a request."
"The solution works perfectly fine so far."
"It's not very user-friendly."
"Git's user interface could be improved."
"Git removed the credential feature."
"More security is always welcome in my opinion."
"There can be conflict issues when two developers work on the same file or line of code, and it would be great to see that improved, possibly with an AI solution."
"GitHub should provide more integration in their next release, including integrating with Jenkins, CI/CD and Jira."
"I would like to see more security where a plugin was available for us to update in relation to security."
"The UI is a little outdated, so that could be improved."
"It is currently only from the development perspective. It doesn't have features related to project management and testing. It is not like Azure. So, there is a lot of room for improvement. It is a version control product, and it would be good if they can come up with a complete DevOps product."
"There could be more integration into Azure."
"It would be good if there were training materials for junior developers."
"I would like to see integration with Slack such that all of the changes made in GitHub are reflected there."
