The path to your success." — 5.0/5 > **Dawn** | *15 February 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The usability and the incredible features. > > **Cons**: The workflow is a bit advanced. I wish if it would have been a bit more easier. > > GitHub has been my one to go service when it comes to manage the source code of my projects let it be sharing with friends or publishing a dream project. Moreover it holds a strong community. ----- ### "GitHub Review for Research and Collaboration" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 August 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of version control, the ability to track changes, and also the seamless way it allows multiple people to work on the same project. The availability of open-source projects and the ability to learn from others' code, is also a huge plus. It helped me a lot in my research. > > **Cons**: It can be a learning curve for beginners. The interface can be a bit overwhelming at first, especially for those who are new to version control or command-line tools. Also, navigating through large projects with many branches and pull requests can sometimes feel overwhelming. > > Overall, my experience with GitHub has been very positive. I've used it extensively for managing and sharing code for my research projects. The platform's capabilities have been invaluable in keeping my work organized, especially when revisiting previous stages of my research. The ability to track changes, create branches, and merge code has streamlined my workflow and made it easier to manage complex projects. GitHub has become an essential tool in my research process. ----- ### "The undisputed standard for code collaboration and open source" — 4.0/5 > **Davide** | *17 April 2026* | Security & Investigations | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: GitHub Actions is the CI/CD tool I prefer over any other. It is immediate, works extremely well, supports multiple operating systems, and even allows you to run self-hosted runners on-premises with minimal setup. What makes it truly powerful is the ecosystem: thousands of community-built, reusable actions exist for almost every use case, so you rarely have to reinvent the wheel. This saves an enormous amount of time day to day. Beyond Actions, the pull request workflow is excellent and the collaboration features — Issues and Discussions in particular — are extremely convenient and well-designed. GitHub is also the de facto standard for open source: almost every meaningful open source project lives here, and the fact that public repositories are free makes it the natural home for community-driven software. I use it both for my personal open source projects and at an enterprise level, and it handles both scenarios very well. The ability to host public and private repositories on the same platform without needing separate tools is a significant advantage. > > **Cons**: The project management section (GitHub Projects) still feels rough compared to dedicated tools like Linear. It works, but the UX is unintuitive and I usually reach for other tools when I need real project tracking. Issues and Discussions are great; Projects needs more work. Stability has also become a concern. GitHub has been experiencing more frequent outages lately. They are usually short, but they are disruptive — when your entire workflow depends on GitHub (pushing code, running pipelines, reviewing PRs), even brief downtime brings everything to a halt. Finally, the notification system is genuinely broken for my use case. The sheer volume of notifications makes it nearly impossible to find the ones that actually matter — a comment on your own issue, a review request, a mention. I often miss important updates unless someone tells me directly or I stumble across them manually. > > GitHub is a tool I would recommend to any team, regardless of size or industry. Small teams can get started for free; larger organizations can scale up to GitHub Enterprise. The platform works equally well for closed-source commercial projects and public open source repositories, and you never need to split your work across multiple tools. I would especially recommend it to anyone building or contributing to open source software — GitHub is the central hub where projects are born, grow, and gain traction. There is simply no better place to build in public. It is also worth noting that GitHub is not limited to software developers. Writers, researchers, and academics can benefit from version-controlled plain-text workflows (Markdown, LaTeX) managed through branches and releases — and modern AI tooling makes the learning curve much more approachable than it used to be. In short: I could not work without GitHub. Despite its rough edges, it remains the most complete and widely adopted platform for code collaboration and version control available today. ----- ### "Reliable but stingy github actions capacity" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *26 March 2026* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I appreciate the github actions, which allows me to run automated testing for each one of my pull requests. > > **Cons**: It's annoying that I am not able to have unlimited github actions for private repos that I pay for. It's limited to a cap, which I think is a little stingy considering that I am a paying customer. I would have expected the same caps as public github repos. > > Overall, the experience is great. It's a very convenience way to store my git repos online, and I can trust that the data will be there to stay since it is owned by Microsoft. I've have my github for almost 10 years. Some years I am more active than others, but I can always count on the experience being consistent and reliable. ----- ### "Good tool for code management but lacks some features when integrating with Confluence/Jira" — 3.0/5 > **Mark** | *3 June 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: GitHub is a great tool to manage pull requests and being able to add labels in our teams helps to differentiate between urgent items which need reviews and are vital for the next release. > > **Cons**: One of the drawbacks with GitHub is integrating non development team members into a workflow process. Even though it is possible to setup a workflow too add approvers the terminology and UI is very developer based so can be a bit confusing to non development colleagues. > > Overall GItHub is a good tool for managing code, getting reviews and merging into the relevant branch ahead of deployment. There are some good integrations but it would be great if it could work more seamlessly with Confluence and Jira, and provide additional features to help automatically manage the correct states of the linked jira. ----- Page: 1 / 248\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/129067/github?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/129067/github) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
