GitHub Other Advice
My advice would be to take some time to clean up your repository and organize your data, step by step, in order to optimize its performance and make it more user-friendly. It can be challenging to work with applications like this when there is a lack of resources or input. However, by investing time in making your repository more efficient, you can reduce the potential for overwhelm and streamline your workflow.

View full review »I rate GitHub 10 out of 10. If you are using GitHub, your development team should define the branching strategy. One popular solution is Gitflow. There are different branching strategies available. You can use the main branch loan and a toggling feature development approach where one branch is sufficient.
However, people with parallel releases need a parallel development strategy, where multiple branches will come into play. You should consider which branching strategies apply to your current industry and development strategy. Pick one of them, learn, and adopt it in your project.

View full review »Many big companies use GitHub, such as WooCommerce for example. There are a few ways to use GitHub, like through Terminal. I personally like to use GitHub Desktop because it makes it easier for the user. I rate GitHub a ten out of ten because it is very useful. I remember a time before GitHub when it was quite painful to be a developer. If I'd write code and then want to make an update, I would have to save everything in version one, then version two, and continue doing so for newer and newer versions. Then I'd end up wondering which one was the latest because it was so confusing. GitHub made it much easier to check my code and review it.

We use GitHub because it's open source and makes code management straightforward; it's simple to track different code versions and change history. It's an easy-to-use, efficient application.
For someone looking to use the solution for the first time, I would say it's straightforward and possible to learn the significant features in a day. Learning to clone projects, push and pull code, and use comments is simple.

There may be some customers that are very picky about not having code on the cloud, and then my recommendation would normally be to use Microsoft Azure Repos, which is essentially a clone of GitHub but it stays within your subscription and within your tenancy on Microsoft Azure.
I rate GitHub a nine out of ten.

We aren't partners. We are simply customers and end-users.
We are still on the previous version. We are still waiting for more stability from the latest version before we update everything.
It's a great product. That said, it needs some work still to be able to do everything that GitLab can do, for example. I'm not sure what the future plans are for GitHub. I know they're working on adding a lot of capabilities now that they're part of Microsoft. They're probably going to make it a much more robust solution - not just a version control system. My perspective is as an enterprise on-prem user. I don't know from an open-source community standpoint, how they feel about the changes. I'm sure most of the users are pretty happy with it as a hosting platform. However, my need is specific to my organizational uses.
I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

Our initial deployment was with Cloud One. The cPanel is the browser involved. We make use of WordPress.
GitHub is the perfect tool for use at present and is extremely necessary. It is one of the best solutions out there. Apart from GitHub, you need to use the local Git version control system since it involves code on a cloud platform. Git version is very helpful. One could download the large types of codes to do on the core level so that there will not be a need to go to the cloud setup every time. The code commands can be run from the local system. Setup and migration can be done with ease. The person would set up the order and the view. In my experience, GitHub is very easy to operate.
I rate GitHub as a perfect ten out of ten.
I previously used different tools. At present, I am utilizing GitHub and providing assistance with cell phone numbers. The solution allows me to make workspaces and perform changes with ease. It also allows for easy monitoring. I receive updates from Slack for confirmation purposes. There is no need to wait on my developers, as a connection can be made with the production server.

I rate this solution a ten out of ten. I recommend GitHub to others to back up their source code or share it among different people on the same project. GitHub is integrated very well with Microsoft Visual Studio and .NET. For example, if we make a project inbox for Visual Studio, we can push the code to GitHub by adding our account to Visual Studio.

Compared to the competition, I would say GitHub is the best, as it has the most robust security, and most of the developer community is familiar with it. Bitbucket is also an excellent solution with solid security, but more developers would require training.

The implementation is a hybrid public and private cloud. GitHub in some ways is similar to NPM, but it is a code repository primarily for code versioning systems. It's all cloud-based and we just upload our code to it. There are functions within GitHub that will take and monitor the code that's uploaded and any NPM repositories that it makes use of, and confirms that your code is making use of the latest code repositories. Anytime there is a discrepancy or an upgrade to one of the code repositories, it lets you know what that upgrade is.
They're constantly making improvements to the environment, adding new features and functionality. The new features and functions that they're coming out with are available to me sometimes before I realize I even need them.
We use GitHub extensively with any new product we are developing and we're going to keep doing it that way. I would advise anyone to implement this solution.
I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate it a nine out of ten.
View full review »I rate GitHub nine out of 10. We use it to manage plugins and everything else. Even though it is a coding platform, it's useful for any technology. I would recommend using GitHub as a base for configuration and coding activities.
Once you upload something on GitHub, you can integrate it with your local repositories or other platforms. It has broad compatibility with other solutions, so you can use GitHub even if you have a different platform.

If someone is managing the product as well as doing the test management, they should go with GitHub. It's very easy to understand and track everything, and you can even see the different check-ins.
If someone is specifically going for a test management tool and they need the proper agile-based tools, they should go for Jira.
