GitHub Previous Solutions

Athmabhuthi H - PeerSpot reviewer
Managing Consultant at Wipro Limited

We used open-source Git and later used GitLab, which is a flavor of Git. GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure Repos are all flavors of Git. The underlying version-control functionalities come from Git, but different vendors have their own flavors. I have experience in all four of these, which are Git.

We were using Azure DevOps previously, and we switched to GitHub primarily due to cost. The automated build platform is costly on the Azure DevOps side but significantly less expensive on the Azure side.

Senior Director - Quality Engineering at Mobileum

Prior to using GitHub, we used Subversion, or SVN and CVS. We switched to GitHub because of the cloud enablement as well as the ease of use.

Software Engineer at OZ

I previously worked with GitLab. They are pretty much the same. GitLab does have a very good user interface. That's the main difference.

Enterprise Architect at a tech company with 10,001+ employees

Previously, we were using Bitbucket. We switched to GitHub because it is the number one source code management platform, and it has the cooperation of the open-source community. It provides for better collaboration. We all participate in the open-source community.

There are more users on GitHub, compared to Bitbucket.

Senior Software and Cloud Engineer at Velocis Technologies LLC

We used Bitbucket for version control.

We used TortoiseSVN for a short while for version control for one project. It’s a good one also.

We previously used Bitbucket and Azure Repos. We switched to GitHub because of its ease of implementation and ease of onboarding new users, as well as its integration with third-party tooling.

AK
Technical Lead at FD

We used to use GitLab (the free version I think), which had frequent deployment issues. So that's why we shifted to GitHub.

I have previously used ClearCase and Submersion but have used GitHub for the past eight years. ClearCase is a centralized system but has expensive licenses and running processes within the system took a long time. This is the reason we moved to Github.

Some of these tools are associated with our parent company. We consume them. I believe they were set up by our parent company's tools team.

HB
Software Engineer at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Initially, when I first joined the company, they were using another solution, and recently we decided to move to GitHub. We are currently using it on a daily basis.

There are other solutions that we use for source control and they're going to be migrating to GitHub.

Project lead at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

I have previously used Jira. When I was using Jira, I wasn't applying projects, so they were funding the project and using the Jira platform for managing their product. Currently in the project I'm on, we don't have a lot of funds for Jira, so we searched for the open source and found GitHub. We liked it because it was solving all of our queries. Whatever our needs were, we were able to accomplish them with GitHub.

I have previously used SVN but I prefer GitHub, it seems to be more powerful than SVN. We have a centralized website and a better user interface.

I previously worked on GitLab but find GitHub has many more options and features, particularly in terms of project and SQL management. It was easy to migrate from GitLab to GitHub.

AA
Information Technology Consultant @ CIM at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

I was previously using Jira and Bitbucket but now I'm 100% in GitHub. I switched because of my team - they didn't work on Bitbucket. This is the reason I left Bitbucket even though GitHub is more costly.

I was looking for a management tool. Of course, Jira is the first try. When I looked at it for the cloud there were two options - GitHub and Bitbucket. But when comparing Jira's license to the licenses for Bitbucket or comparing the price between Bitbucket and GitHub, I found it's really cheaper for me to have Bitbucket. But because my team was most familiar with GitHub I decided I had to go with it.

The project management sector really needs some improvement for GitHub. I don't know if GitHub made sense for me as a project manager. But for what it was, it's a really good tool.
