    Beast Software

    Edited: Dec 04 2021

    Summary: Assuming you are fostering any product project, Github is a conspicuous leader. The combinations are not difficult to get set up and moving, so you will invest less energy on designing and overseeing source control, and additional time creating and adding to the development of an undertaking or organization.

    Positive: These are the best part about GitHub-
    1. The outsider reconciliations with GitHub are extraordinary. Azure permits us to associate straight forwardly to the GitHub repo and constantly send our code as the expert branch gets refreshed.
    2. Pull demand interface takes into consideration code survey, reinforcing the designing group culture and making a way for junior engineers to develop and turn out to be more useful.
    3. While managing an undertaking, utilizing GitHub to see the contrasts between a specialist's branch and expert aides the designer work productively and viably.

    Negative: These are some demerits -
    1. Exchanging and overseeing branches is complicated and not excessively instinctive.
    2. Downloading a specific record from the source tree is awkward and it is quite often simpler to download a speed of the whole branch. Not great.

    Some questionable policies, great on mac and linux, okay on windows

    Date: Nov 12 2020

    Summary: There's a lot to like about Github, both as a tool and a company. Its student developer pack comes with a lot of perks and really opens the door for lots of people to begin developing or honing their skills. Private repos and enterprise setups are wonderful too. Baseless DCMA takedowns aren't though.

    Positive: Github's probably the most ubiquitous source control software for developers. Its web interface is clean and intuitive, and it is easy to use via Terminal on Mac and Linux once you become familiar with the commands. For Windows, the Github Desktop app provides a graphical user interface that does most of the same things - pulling, committing, pushing.

    Negative: Github is in the news recently for complying with DCMA takedown requests...on open source software that isn't in violation of any copyrights. That is disturbing, and if we can't be assured that our open source code stays up, developers might have to consider other source control tools.
