We performed a comparison between Git and GitHub based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Version Control solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Git is easy to use."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"I believe it is beneficial to maintain a detailed log or history of who did what to a project and which user committed to the change."
"So far, the product has been stable. Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight to nine out of ten."
"Git is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I like Git's merging feature. For example, say there is an instance where I am working on the same code as another developer. Git automatically merges the work of two developers on the same file. If I'm working on line 50 and he's working on 60, and we both commit, it mergest automatically."
"I like that it's easy to use and because it's accessible from a terminal or a graphical user interface if needed. I also like that we can pass comments from Linux if required."
"It is a pretty standard product with features like git clone and development branches."
"If you want to share documents, you can create articles and diagrams with GitHub and share."
"GitHub have a built-in software application development environment and this has been most useful."
"We use GitHub instead of our regular shared drive. It offers instant access to shared folders as well as good security."
"GitHub's source code management is top-notch. It's easy to inspect changes and visualize code and differences. Their action system is comprehensive in terms of making changes and automation."
"A great feature is being able to have different repositories and different kinds of projects in a single solution at a single time. It's just a click away."
"The Projects Tab, which shows you the todo list and the progress for projects, is very helpful."
"The deployment is fast since we just have to run the script, and once it's done, it takes a few minutes."
"The most valuable feature is help offered by the community for open-source projects."
"I would like more documentation."
"The platform could have a feature for monitoring data recovery similar to Azure."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model of Git."
"The main problem for me is the frequent upgrades in the solution because every other upgrade is a minefield. When you do the upgrade, there is always something that doesn't work."
"If the file changes are on the same line, we need to resolve a merge conflict manually. Let's say there is a merge conflict on line 50 because we have multiple commits on the same line number. Git could add some artificial intelligence to resolve the conflict automatically."
"The GUI needs to be improved."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The price could be improved."
"I would want to see some form of code security scanning implemented."
"GitHub should provide more integration in their next release, including integrating with Jenkins, CI/CD and Jira."
"The storage for this solution could be improved."
"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."
"We face issues with synchronization while working with teams."
"I decided not to use GitHub but developed my tool because I found it more efficient. I'm familiar with my tools, making them easier to use. I like being able to customize them to fit my workflow and the way I think.. Software development is like a personal workshop, and I tailor my version control to match my approach."
"I think it would be valuable to have more security. Some of the data is very open to everyone."
"The stability can be improved."
