Easy to use, supports collaboration, and provides a repository to store source codes
Pros and Cons
- "The ease of use is valuable."
- "We face issues with synchronization while working with teams."
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution as a repository to store the source codes that I create with small tools. I also use it to share codes with customers when it is impossible to directly upload them from my computer to the customer’s environment due to some network restrictions. However, it is possible to download from GitHub in such environments. So, I transfer my source codes through GitHub so that they can download and implement them.
What is most valuable?
GitHub is a simple repository of source codes. The ease of use is valuable. It supports collaboration within the team very well.
What needs improvement?
We face issues with synchronization while working with teams. It is difficult to synchronize the source code between team members.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for more than five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The tool is very stable. I do not face any unavailability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I use the solution for my personal use cases.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is very easy. It is very easy to create a new repository for a new project. It is easy to create teams.
What was our ROI?
The tool is of great value. It provides space for source codes for future use. If I migrate from one computer to another, I can still use the same Git without any complications.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We must pay the licensing fee if we want to use the tool commercially.
What other advice do I have?
I do not use any pipelines or other tools. I do not use the tool frequently. I mostly develop things on my computer and hand them over to the customers. People must start using the product. It is easy for users who have experience with other Git tools like GitLab or GitBucket. We just have to create a project and clone it. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.
