We don't care about you!
January 24, 2020

If you have a problem then forget it, we at GitHub could care less. We are owned by Microsoft now, so as you know we simply want your money. If there's ever a problem with something we'll turn a blind eye and ignore your support requests. Microsoft has been producing the same garbage virus laden operating system for decades and have we addressed the issue? No, not at all. You can expect the same for any product or company we buy, that's how we roll 24/7. GitHub is a Microsoft product now, so get used to crappy everything from here on out.

Total scumbag company!
February 18, 2020

They sold my account from under me without my consent. Erased all my data and then lied about it. The company is owned by Microsoft, so I wouldn't expect anything less. These scumbags can screw themselves, it's only a matter of time before they get sued.

GitHub has become an essential tool for fostering collaboration and innovation within my development team. The platform's version control, code review, and project management features make it easy to organize and track our work, ensuring that everyone stays on the same page. I appreciate GitHub's focus on open-source development, as seen in its vibrant community of developers and extensive library of repositories. Moreover, the platform's integrations with other development tools and services enhance our productivity and streamline our workflows. With GitHub, collaboration barriers are a thing of the past, and my team can work together seamlessly to build amazing software.

Github is great, pretty much every coder in existence has heard about it and probably uses it. Great for saving code and sharing it. Downside is you have to pay a subscription if you want your code to be private.

For those who don't know, github is a site where you can upload your code for your team to work on or for other people to see.

Most possibly the best place to manage and work with code in a team. Open source projects are free to host no matter the size, but if you want a private project, you are going to need to pay $7/month to maintain a private repo.
If you're a programmer and you don't know git, you need to learn it. Arguably the best version control on the planet.

The best open source developer access location online. Once you know your way around anything can be found here. Maybe the final missing piece in a puzzle of code

Useless Ageist Website
December 5, 2019

I avoid GitHub because they forbid kids to register in their terms. I started programming as a kid, and I don't agree that a 12-year-old should be prevented from contributing code to a project if he or she can do so. I contacted GitHub about this, and they claimed COPPA prevents children from being able to register. Actually, COPPA says a website must get parental permission to collect information for kids under 13. It doesn't say kids aren't allowed to contribute code. GitHub simply doesn't want to be bothered with the rights of our young people. Interesting how the Internet can go nuts protesting laws against piracy such as SOPA, but no one cares about the rights of our next generation of citizens. Since Microsoft acquired GitHub, that's just another reason to avoid it. I have no reason to use GitHub, and I don't put any of my software projects on GitHub.

Github is great. I've been using the site since it's early days and it just keeps getting better. Where the site really shines is in sharing and collaboration on coding projects.
