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's learning curve is shallow, making the solution easy to use after a few tutorials."
"All of the features in Git are useful."
"Git offers the ability to roll back to the previous version. You can also track all the small changes that you do."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The features I am most impressed by is the automation."
"The most valuable feature of Git is its reliability and user popularity."
"The most valuable feature of Git is its ability to track updates, such as firmware documentation. Additionally, many people can make changes to code without problems. It is able to solve conflicts very easily."
"So far, the product has been stable. Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight to nine out of ten."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it can support you for most of the road map and it can automate some tasks which works really well with collaboration with the teams. They are really interested in how they organize the history of the code itself which is good."
"It has a lot of features from the code development perspective. You get a lot of features such as repo, commit, merge, and branch. You can play around and do things on the fly. It is easy and simple to deploy. It is also easier to use when working from home."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"This product is very good for storing and versioning code."
"The version control functionality for this solution has been most valuable, especially when managing projects with multiple versions."
"This product allows us to easily collaborate on development tasks with our subcontractors, and control the workflow as the project progresses."
"It's beneficial for managing multiple tasks and controlling versions of your product."
"The code sharing and updated history are valuable features."
"The GUI needs to be improved."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model of Git."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"About the configuration it is a little bit difficult, it can be improved."
"The platform could have a feature for monitoring data recovery similar to Azure."
"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."
"I would rate the initial setup process a four, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the most difficult and 10 being the easiest. The reason for this rating is that once there are conflicts, it takes a lot of effort to resolve them."
"GitHub could add some more security features."
"The GitHub repository needs an upgraded user interface and overall UI improvements."
"I think it would be valuable to have more security. Some of the data is very open to everyone."
"The onboarding process could be simplified."
"We face issues with synchronization while working with teams."
"The only thing I see missing in GitHub is that it isn't very user friendly for key personnel who don't have in-depth, technical knowledge. In Jira, there are many functions to upload our test cases, and in GitHub we can only do it manually. There are functions which can be used to upload different files, but that still requires some technical knowledge. A layman cannot do it."
"I would want to see some form of code security scanning implemented."
"There could be more integration into Azure."
