The software can be used for different kinds of coding assignments including personal, open-source and business codes. It is available both on-premise and via cloud-based deployment. Users can save all versions of their code and collaborate with other users by inviting them or tagging them with @mentions. Developers can join communities wherein they can follow open-source projects, leverage already-created codes for experiments, make suggestions and contribute to a project. All the contributions in open-source projects are recorded in developers’ profiles. Businesses of all sizes use GitHub as an integrated tool for code development. > > Verdict: Rated **4.8/5** by 6170 users.

And it seems some basic features such as branch locking as hidden behind a paywall now. ----- ### "Look No Further for Source Control" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *8 December 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Github makes it easy to store my code and collaborate with my teammates. The other Integrations that Github supports makes it easy to run linting, tests, deployments, and more with Github actions. It is my favorite source control software, and the free accounts that it allows make it a really good value. Setup is a breeze with Github, and makes it so you can get a repository setup in no time. > > **Cons**: If you're newer to github then using some of the tools it provides can be overwhelming, but github makes other tools to support that. > > I've used Github for about 5 years, and it's been great since I started. It allows me to easily collaborate with my teammates, and keep each other from stepping on toes while working. I would have a very hard time doing my job without Github, and the other options available are inferior for various reasons. ----- ### "best code management before microsoft acquisition" — 4.0/5 > **Terry** | *16 May 2025* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: best place for code management across different coders, the ability to control access and track issues is perfect for agile projects > > **Cons**: ever since the acquisition from microsoft, github becomes a tool to advertise microsoft products. I have to use microsoft authenticator to log in with stupid 2 factor authentication requirement. ----- ### "Good for work examples" — 3.0/5 > **Jade** | *19 April 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a recruiter it was helpful for work examples and able to show hiring managers the candidates skillset > > **Cons**: If your not a developer it can be quite hard to navigate and understand > > Okay but could be better in terms of a non developer using it ----- ### "Reliable Platform for Version Control and Team Collaboration" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *1 March 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using GitHub for the past few years as a part of my daily development workflow. it is very reliable for version control, code management and collaboration with the team members. Vreating repositiories, managing branches and tracking changes through commits is very smooth and well structured. Specially find pull requests and issue tracking very useful when working on team-based projects, as it keeps the development process organized. > > **Cons**: One thing is slightly challenging for the begineers in the learning curve, especially when understanding advanced Git worklfows like rebasing and conflict resolution. Also, sometimes the interface can feel a bit complex for new users who are not familier with version control systems. > > GitHub helps in managing source code efficiently and maintaining proper version history for projects. As a developer, it allows me to collaborate with team members, review code and maintain structured project repositiories in one place. It significantly reduces risk of code loss and improves team coordination during development. Also, new automations like git hub actions works very well. ----- Page: 1 / 248\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/397820/github?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/397820/github) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
