GitHub

Pros

The best part of this software, in my opinion, has to be the repository insights that comes with the pro version and above. These insights have proven to be extremely valuable when managing larger-scale projects with multiple developers working on the projects. Not only is our project management team able to get live updates on the progress of the project with each commit, but our team is also able to hold each other accountable by seeing their progress via the progress tracking feature and individual commits. Another notable mention for Github is their desktop GUI. This is such an incredibly easy tool to use and it makes the entire GIT experience much easier to understand and maneuver.

Cons

The one issue i had with this software is the repo search functionality. This part of the software can be confusing to learn to be effective with and it takes some time to be proficient with, which can be a hassle for some of our newer members of our project management team.

Reasons for Switching to GitHub

Pros

There are so many features in Github. I am currently using the Student package which I got through GitHub Education. The best thing I experienced was the support being given to the students. This is very useful for managing the project and its source code. Also, I liked the GITHUB PAGES feature most because of the Ease of Deployment. After uploading the files and creating a repository, we can directly deploy the project in a few clicks.

Cons

I liked everything on the platform, their UI, features, support tutorials, etc. There is no such thing that I hate or dislike. There are no ads or stuff like that. Yeah.

Pros

- free private repo is cool
- Github actions is awesome
- Github pages saves a lot of money for web apps demo & open source projects. I myself have hosted all of my open sources web apps on Github pages.

These are my favorites. Rest I can go on and on.

Cons

- Search feature is lacking. If there was better search functionality (eg. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] - powered by algolia), it would be a lot helpful. Searching one report among thousands is a pan right now.
- Dependabot is pain
- Sometimes Github pages doesn't update properly
- Don't get relevant projects on "Explore repositories" section

Reasons for Switching to GitHub

Pros

GitHub provides an exceptional environment for collaboration among developers. Its intuitive interface allows for seamless communication, issue tracking, and pull request management. With features like code reviews, team discussions, and project boards, it fosters a collaborative spirit and enables developers to work together effectively.

Cons

While GitHub is a powerful platform, it can be overwhelming for newcomers, especially those unfamiliar with version control systems. The concepts of branches, pull requests, and forking may require a learning curve, which might discourage some beginners. More comprehensive documentation and guided tutorials could help mitigate this issue.

Pros

Not one of the best but Github is the clear market winner for hosting an application and other several systems. GitHub is the best version control and I have been using it for more than 2 years. it has all the capabilities that any developer needed today such as continuous integration, continuous development, issue tracking, pull request, project management, and many more.

Cons

Sometimes I face difficulties through git integration but due to the high community, I resolved all those problems. also, it doesn't allow me to upload more than 25 MB of files so for that I have to upload it sequentially which is quite a hectic task.
