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."
"We use the tool to store codes."
"The product is easy to use."
"The best thing about this solution is that it can be learned very quickly, and used very easily."
"The most valuable feature of Git is the ease of tracking in time what the snapshot of the code was at a particular moment. The versioning is good."
"Git is a product everyone uses, so it's almost inescapable. I like the fact that there is a large ecosystem around it. You can bolt various graphical user interfaces onto it or sign up for various repositories like GitHub and AWS CodeCommit. Git has a large community, so there are lots of resources and knowledge bases you can use."
"The setup process is pretty simple."
"You can have a central code repository using Git and have local code branches."
"GitHub provides good time reduction and this is what I value the most."
"Any complex banking can be handled very easily in GitHub. It allows us to integrate with tools like Grid, where we can merge and resolve conflicts without any hassle."
"The control is the most valuable feature as developers can work on a single code."
"This solution is very easy to use which I like about it. The capacity to own artifacts and share them with others is another good feature. You don't have to write all your code from scratch, you can use available templates and alter the code according to your needs."
"We use GitHub instead of our regular shared drive. It offers instant access to shared folders as well as good security."
"GitHub allows us the option to push files from a non-UA method or directly upload files from the UA. You can integrate GitHub with Jenkins to do CI/CD."
"This product is very good for storing and versioning code."
"GitHub have a built-in software application development environment and this has been most useful."
"I would like more documentation."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"If another person raises a pull request under the same ID assigned to the previous person, and both parties modify the tool, their changes will be grouped together in the same request until it is closed, which is an issue."
"It would be preferable if the updates could be completed at a faster pace."
"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 solution could provide more language support options such as Korean, it would be helpful."
"About the configuration it is a little bit difficult, it can be improved."
"The UI is a little outdated, so that could be improved."
"There could be more integration into Azure."
"We want to incorporate management comments within GitHub, making it more like a product management tool. We haven't done that yet. Another change we're considering is migrating from GitHub to Azure DevOps, especially now that Microsoft has introduced it."
"GitHub's issue management could be improved a little from an organization standpoint. It would be helpful to have the ability to organize a work board or a backlog more comprehensively. For organizations migrating to GitHub from arbitrary systems, it's a little bit of a headache to move on to that system."
"There is a bit of a learning curve."
"While using the solution when merging two code branches the code becomes a bit messy. This should be improved in the future."
"It would be useful to have tutorial videos within the GitHub dashboard."
"I would like a more graphical, user-friendly UI, to avoid writing so much code on cmd."
