We run pull requests through it daily for our backend services, and the review flow (inline comments, suggested changes, required approvals before merge) makes it easy to keep code quality high even when we're shipping fast. GitHub Actions is tightly integrated, so our CI checks (tests, linting) run automatically on every PR and block merges if something breaks. Branch protection rules and the PR template system also help us keep a consistent process across the team, and linking PRs to ticket IDs makes it trivial to trace a change back to the original task. > > **Cons**: The PR review UI can get sluggish on very large diffs (we occasionally touch big generated files or migrations), and finding a specific historical PR or comment thread through search is still clunkier than it should be. Notification management is also a bit overwhelming once you're on several active repos - it's easy for an important review request to get buried under less relevant activity unless you fine-tune your watch settings. > > We use GitHub every day as the core of our dev workflow: opening PRs, doing code reviews, running CI via Actions, and tracking work through linked tickets. It has been reliable and it scales well with a growing engineering team, even though a few UX rough edges (search, notification noise on large diffs) show up with heavier day-to-day use. ----- ### "GitHub - A coder's best-friend" — 5.0/5 > **Manish** | *March 2, 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft GitHub is the best collaboration and code management tool I have ever used in my life. It is so hassle-free and makes my day to day code collaboration so much effortless. It is definitely worth the money. > > **Cons**: Like most complex tools, GitHub has a steep learning curve. It took me a while to get used to it. With that, GitHub being a cloud tool, requires a stable internet connection to push/pull code. > > My overall experience with GitHub has been mind blowing. It has made my work on large code projects so much easier since I started using it. I am not giving up using this tool. I has great support and helps manage bugs in my code so efficiently. ----- ### "A great tool for developers" — 5.0/5 > **Ildaphonse** | *January 8, 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use github daily in the workplace. It is very easy to use. I can easily store my information without worry. It is free to use as well. I've encountered no issues or bugs when using it. > > **Cons**: I wish it was easier to learn how to use. Sometimes i forget which commands to use when pushing my code to the cloud. > > I've enjoyed my experience with Github. I use it daily when coding because of how quick and easy it is to store data. ----- ### "Reliable everyday software development platform." — 5.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *August 20, 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: GitHub is a great platform for organizing project or development work all in one place. It offers advanced features for code management, tracking changes, reviewing work or working with coworkers. Considering the value for money, GitHub integrates well for both smaller and larger projects. Reporting feature helps tracking project progress which makes workflow smooth. > > **Cons**: GitHub can be a little difficult for beginners, particularly learning commands, branches or pull requests. Also setting up the account can take time initially. GitHub also lacks with it's customer support, as it failed providing proper assistance when it comes to complex technical issues. > > All in all considering the value for money and the features it provide, I personally feel GitHub is a great platform for tracking workflow and changes, managing codes or reviewing work, leaving customer support aside. ----- Page: 1 / 250\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/129067/github?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/129067/github) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
