If you have multiple organisations it's not always a smooth transition between repos > > I enjoy working with GitHub so much that we've recently migrated all our bitbucket repos to GitHub. It's great that we can keep client repos private but still show our activity on our own personal accounts ----- ### "Powerful Platform for Prototyping and Collaboration" — 4.0/5 > **Jerrid** | *10 April 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: GitHub helps me keep my client projects organized and easy to manage. I use it to store and share prototypes, track versions, and show clients how things change over time. Being able to see changes and quickly go back if something doesn’t work is really helpful. It makes both my clients and me feel more confident as we try out new ideas and make improvements. > > **Cons**: The main downside of GitHub for me has been the support experience. It’s difficult to get direct help beyond the community, since you’re mostly limited to creating support tickets. Response times can be slow, and it often feels hard to get timely, personalized assistance when issues come up. > > Overall, GitHub has been a very effective platform. It gives me a reliable place to store projects, build and share prototypes, and manage version control so I can clearly show different iterations to clients and easily roll back if needed. While the support experience can be frustrating at times, especially the reliance on tickets and slower response times, the core features, stability, and collaboration tools have made it a valuable part of my workflow. ----- ### "Good tool for code management but lacks some features when integrating with Confluence/Jira" — 3.0/5 > **Mark** | *3 June 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: GitHub is a great tool to manage pull requests and being able to add labels in our teams helps to differentiate between urgent items which need reviews and are vital for the next release. > > **Cons**: One of the drawbacks with GitHub is integrating non development team members into a workflow process. Even though it is possible to setup a workflow too add approvers the terminology and UI is very developer based so can be a bit confusing to non development colleagues. > > Overall GItHub is a good tool for managing code, getting reviews and merging into the relevant branch ahead of deployment. There are some good integrations but it would be great if it could work more seamlessly with Confluence and Jira, and provide additional features to help automatically manage the correct states of the linked jira. ----- ### "Reliable but stingy github actions capacity" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *26 March 2026* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I appreciate the github actions, which allows me to run automated testing for each one of my pull requests. > > **Cons**: It's annoying that I am not able to have unlimited github actions for private repos that I pay for. It's limited to a cap, which I think is a little stingy considering that I am a paying customer. I would have expected the same caps as public github repos. > > Overall, the experience is great. It's a very convenience way to store my git repos online, and I can trust that the data will be there to stay since it is owned by Microsoft. I've have my github for almost 10 years. Some years I am more active than others, but I can always count on the experience being consistent and reliable. ----- ### "Reliable Platform for Version Control and Team Collaboration" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *1 March 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using GitHub for the past few years as a part of my daily development workflow. it is very reliable for version control, code management and collaboration with the team members. Vreating repositiories, managing branches and tracking changes through commits is very smooth and well structured. Specially find pull requests and issue tracking very useful when working on team-based projects, as it keeps the development process organized. > > **Cons**: One thing is slightly challenging for the begineers in the learning curve, especially when understanding advanced Git worklfows like rebasing and conflict resolution. Also, sometimes the interface can feel a bit complex for new users who are not familier with version control systems. > > GitHub helps in managing source code efficiently and maintaining proper version history for projects. As a developer, it allows me to collaborate with team members, review code and maintain structured project repositiories in one place. It significantly reduces risk of code loss and improves team coordination during development. Also, new automations like git hub actions works very well. ----- Page: 1 / 248\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/129067/github?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/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
