Best code storage platform ever made
I had great experience with Git hub which made my code easily available from any device, there was also in build deploy feature for static web application, It best and most recommended platform to learn.
Pros
It is a one of the best platform to store the code and allow team members to work on same project simultaneously without having conflicts.
Cons
As I used git hub to store my store far more there was no cons I got for it, It was very easy to learn just had little tricky to understand UI to resolve conflicts which issue was resolved in git desktop (application of git hub).

GitHub-A hub for all your Open Source needs
The Overall experience is Great and the features GitHub provides makes it the best in its field as it has features like code revert , pull requests which help in open source and thus it provides a great learning platform
Pros
The thing I like most about GitHub is its open source capabilities and also that multiple people can work on same code with the help of pull requests
Cons
The thing I don't like about GitHub is that it is not completely safe for important codes as it is mainly an Open source.

Stable & Must Experience
Great UI UX experience, reliable and is perfect for managing projects of all sizes
Pros
The collaborative tools are excellent, and version control is seamless. Its also incredibly user-friendly for both individuals and teams
Cons
Overall, pricing may get a little bit shady sometimes in the sense of hiding features behind enterprise plan. Sometimes its really difficult to understand whats included in the plan and whats not. And generally it disappoints in this sense, because some basic features are just blocked meaningless and you just have to upgrade

GitLabReasons for Switching to GitHub

The default solution for Git hosting but might not be the best for enterprise
Pros
This is basically the default Git hosting for software engineering. Tooling and workflows are top notch, and generally well supported with lots of information available online.
Cons
Github lacks some enterprise features, and have had some security issues (the recent outage, hacks for faking repo stars).
Alternatives Considered
GitLabReasons for Choosing GitHub
We use Github for our public/published work as it is the default, though not for internal projects. Github is almost the "default" option for sharing, and kind of a social media for software engineers.Reasons for Switching to GitHub
We still use GitLab for internal and enterprise developments, but it's less geared towards sharing publically than Github.- Industry: Information Technology & Services

The Absolute Best Place To Build Software As a Team!
Excellent experience and I really cannot imagine a modern software development world without GitHub at this point. This is a the gold standard right here.
Pros
I love the wide array of features and the usage simplicity. Everything works well and meets pretty much all of our needs as a team. GitHub is very dependable and does a great job at constantly improving and responding to feedback.
Cons
CI/CD is a bit of a rabbit hole that I wish the barrier to entry was a little lower on, but all the right tools are there if you spend the time to learn them.

All about Github
Overall about GitHub is still needed and essential for me as a developer.
Pros
Source Control is the most I like in GitHub. When we work with team, source control is important. All of team members will be pushed their codes at the same branches. If I am owner of project I will look up their code and accept their pull requests.Github's source control is easy to use to combine codes from each member. This is the one I like Github.
Cons
I think Authentication. I am a software developer and I use VS code as IDE.Github can authenticate with VS code. I have to GitHub account, one for personal and one for office work. When I was changed my personal to work account or vice visa, I'm faced with some issue that is git conflict among two accounts.I am worked with my office account, but in authentication, my account is still personal account. I think this part is needed to update about Github. This one is I like least about Github.

A Surprising Win & A Versatile Tool for Web Management
Overall, my experience with GitHub has been positive. It's streamlined our development process for custom JavaScript and Python work, making our code management more efficient and reliable. The ability to collaborate seamlessly has been especially beneficial during periods of remote work. However, there's a learning phase, and its utility varies depending on the task at hand. For heavy coding days, it's indispensable. For quick WordPress updates, it can feel like overkill.
Pros
As a web manager with two years of experience in Indonesia's hospitality and F&B industry, I primarily use WordPress that uses JavaScript and sometimes I made my own Python scripts. GitHub's version control has been a standout feature for me. It eliminates the need for multiple file versions and allows easy rollbacks when errors occur. The collaboration features are excellent, especially when working with team members across different Indonesian cities. Additionally, the vast GitHub community and its open-source projects have been invaluable resources, offering solutions that we can adapt to our local market.
Cons
The initial learning curve with Git terminology and workflows was challenging, particularly for team members more versed in hospitality than coding. Onboarding took longer than anticipated. While GitHub excels for managing code, it's less intuitive for non-code assets like restaurant menu designs or hotel brochures, which are crucial in our industry. Lastly, for simple WordPress theme tweaks, GitHub can sometimes feel overly complex.

A no-brainer for Source Code Control
Pros
Copilot is amazing. Github makes repository access and version control very easy. Also love how many addons and integrations are available. PR reviews is also easier with split views. Search is also the best. It also goes through the code and often finds references and definitions of a function.
Cons
Sometimes the PR review view is tricky and bubbles up under a wrong name making it tougher to make sense of where the code is written if it's a large file.

Easily manage your projects with GitHub
I started using GitHub in 2020, a friend of mine recommended it to me. By that moment my coding knowledge was limited, but I managed to quickly learn how GitHub worked, I was able to create multiple projects and manage them very easily. GitHub is a really good option, I like its user friendly infrastructure and its amazing features.
Pros
Integration of AI if necessary, you are able to create your own websites and even add your own domain, you can have different versions of your project, you can integrate GitHub with Git, VS Code, IntelliJ IDEA and more.
Cons
The only think that I "don't like" is that you cannot publish private websites on GitHub, this is only possible on the paid version (GitHub pro). But if you don't have any issues publishing your project to the public, then this will not affect you.

Simplifying Source Code Management
The experience is overly positive, as I am a developer I use it daily for work. I was also able to showcase my works and was able to get more projects. I could also collaborate with my team members more easily.
Pros
You can setup a repository for your code and collaborate with other developers throughout the world. With Github I can showcase my work so that I can attract recruiters. It is a social media for developers. I can also look for open-source code to learn and contribute to.
Cons
There is a learning curve to setup a repository and collaborate. People may also find it difficult to navigate through the app with so many features. Integrating with external tools to enable automation also takes a lot of effort.

Version Control and Collaboration
For overall experience with Github is good. It includes a lot of features like CI/CD, version control and actions. For team collaborations, we can write using same codebase with multiple branches.
Pros
The most I like about Github is version control. It is easy to manage and track changes over time. Moreover, I can invite my colleagues to access my repositories.
Cons
The least I like about Github is creating page in Github. It's not easy for me. I tried to create my page using Github page but it's not worked.
