Daily workflows have become streamlined as I manage projects, learn from clones, and host sites
The thing that has frustrated me is sometimes when I push using a Git command, I need to force the push, which is the main thing. The setup is frustrating because GitHub could add a repository with pre-installed packages or something since I need to install packages in VS Code before pushing and maintain it in the codebase. Git packages need to be installed manually, and if that was already in a GitHub repository, that would be much better. GitHub packages can be installed previously for the project upon the project requirement, and that is the thing I wanted to add here. That would be good. According to governance and security, I recently heard about some security issues in GitHub. I think that could be centralized and should consider those security issues and clear them. The AI capabilities there include Copilot or something else. I recently heard about security issues, but I do not know about it clearly. However, if security has been more tightened, it will be better.

Effectively in identify and fix bugs early in the development lifecycle
When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness. Previously, security professionals had to spend a lot of time and effort running around, asking people to fix issues in their products, architectures, code, and even networks. With ShiftLeft, everything becomes robust and secure from within. Instead of relying on external measures like Web Application Firewalls (WAF) that are applied from the outside in, ShiftLeft takes a proactive approach. It helps prevent issues from arising in the first place, making it much easier for both security teams and developers. It's also cost-effective because you don't have to constantly go back, make changes to the code, and then push it again. Writing secure code from the start ensures that there are no vulnerabilities when it goes live. So, I would say the main features of ShiftLeft are its cost-effectiveness and ease of adaptability or use.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The principal benefit of using this solution is being able to organize improvements and changes to code, which is particularly useful for projects that involve many people."
"The most valuable feature is the source code management. It's very helpful and it's a great product."
"Even if I'm not in the office, I can access and work on my code from anywhere with my account credentials."
"We are using GitHub for all of our repositories where we can store the code, collaborate with different developers, build, and create a pipeline."
"GitHub allows you to create pages, and if you want to share documents you can create articles and diagrams with GitHub and share, and on a personal level, GitHub assists you to create your own website."
"GitHub always saves time and saves me a lot of time and energy."
"It has a lot of features from the code development perspective. You get a lot of features such as repo, commit, merge, and branch. You can play around and do things on the fly. It is easy and simple to deploy. It is also easier to use when working from home."
"Applying GitHub Actions saves so much time for the team because it automates the developer's work to the server."
"When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness."
 

Cons

"The descriptions within Github could be more user-friendly to show the trees of Gitflow."
"The GitHub repository needs an upgraded user interface and overall UI improvements."
"The solution should have less integration with the AI part, but it needs to add features with other automation tools so that it can be easily integrated."
"Security could make GitHub better. OWASP Top Ten security advisors could be integrated on GitHub, and it could provide checks and advice."
"There are some minor areas of improvement that could be made, specifically the onboarding processing which I think could be simplified."
"They're improving the work items to track the progress of the team, but in my experience, Azure DevOps is better in this functionality. GitHub needs to improve the form to track the progress of the work done by a team."
"GitHub uses basic configuration, but messaging is not clear."
"I would like to see integration with Slack such that all of the changes made in GitHub are reflected there."
"Having support from senior management is crucial in making it mandatory for teams to collaborate with the security team throughout the development process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay a licensing fee for GitHub, which could be cheaper."
"You don't have to pay for a license if you are using the free version."
"I think, in terms of price, GitHub is okay compared to other tools."
"The tool offers a free program. As you go, you can upgrade from the community version to the professional one. I believe it costs about ten dollars per person, per month."
"I am using the free version of the solution. However, there are some costs my organization pays."
"My company purchased it. Before, we used to receive the free version, but then they purchased some of the features."
"If I consider the market standards, the product's price is pocket-friendly."
"It’s an open-source solution."
