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."
"GitHub has positively impacted my organization by improving collaboration, code quality, version tracking, and development efficiency."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable features of GitHub include its ability to integrate with Jira and multiple CI/CD platforms like Techton, allowing for seamless project management."
"The features of GitHub are very nice and helpful for developers."
"You can write the code with AI. But when it comes to implementation, you must upgrade the bits of code that will support this and generate solutions based on that architecture. Then, you need comparable code bits. Therefore, AI can propose how much a specific function can be better optimized. So, AI can help stakeholders reach tasks quicker."
"I would recommend GitHub to anyone considering implementing the solution into their organization."
"The most valuable aspects of GitHub are version control and parallel development. I also appreciate the forking part, which allows us to release a specific set of features to the environment."
"When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness."
 

Cons

"We've found the way licensing is set up to be very challenging. Also, the LDAP sync capability falls over frequently due to the complexity of our LDAP domains."
"From the recruiting standpoint, I would like to see email IDs and phone numbers and a brief introduction about their profile."
"The stability can be improved."
"There are still areas for improvement with GitHub Actions and their deployment workflows, as they have made significant progress but are not yet polished."
"While using the solution when merging two code branches the code becomes a bit messy. This should be improved in the future."
"The development team pushes the code into a repository, and the CI/CD pipeline will perform the build. We need open-source libraries to perform the builds. It would be helpful to have the ability to link to open-source libraries like npm libraries. I don't know if GitHub Actions provides this. I would like to see that in GitHub Actions if they don't."
"The descriptions within Github could be more user-friendly to show the trees of Gitflow."
"GitHub could have better integration or capability with other solutions."
"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 subscription-based yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"I think, in terms of price, GitHub is okay compared to other tools."
"GitHub is a cost-effective solution."
"My company purchased it. Before, we used to receive the free version, but then they purchased some of the features."
"You don't have to pay for a license if you are using the free version."
"We are currently paying nothing for GitHub."
"We pay a licensing fee for GitHub, which could be cheaper."
"I haven't had to pay anything for GitHub, I use the free version."
