My experience has been excellent so far, but I feel I can't learn enough about using Github to make my life as a developer easier. I'm reading books and taking courses to try to automate more processes for my professional and personal projects, as I feel the more I know, the more I can accomplish using it.
Pros
It is the primary and well-known version control option in the industry. You will always find an easy tutorial to set up anything you need, from fundamental to expert courses, since everyone knows about it and has used it at least at some point, so we are all well aware of its importance.
Most technologies and web applications can integrate with it. Using some CLI commands and simple yet powerful configuration files, you can set up a complete CI/CD pipeline in seconds. It is really an excellent option overall.
Cons
It might be intimidating at first, and for nontech professionals, it might seem something that might as well be in a different language because there is not an easy onboarding process to understand its structure, purpose, or level of abstraction. It might require some guidance initially, but once that learning curve is surpassed, it will become something easy to relate to.

Works great, high quality and never loose any work. Check in often in busy collaborative environments, otherwise use the merge tools, no biggie.
Pros
It works. Fast and on Mac OS, Windows and Linux. Integrated nicely into both Visual Studio Code (PC, Mac) and Visual Studio (PC).
Code compare. Merge. No problems.
Cons
It starts to eat disk space and 50Gbyte gone the other day. Some more integrated cleaning would be great.

The interface is extremely user-friendly, making it easy to navigate and contribute during collaboration, and most importantly, it's very standard and can handle very large projects and communities.
Pros
Honestly, GitHub has been one of my greatest motivations as a software engineer for a number of reasons such as its remote repository feature which allows multiple developers to easily collaborate and work on the same project to achieve great results.
Cons
Though GitHub offers free repositories of public project, some of the advanced features are paid.

Overall, my experience with GitHub was quite positive as it helped me learn a lot as developer and is still helping me venture into new areas.
Pros
Main pros of GitHub includes collaboration, version control which tracks changes in codes and open source nature of GitHub which hosts numerous open source projects which creates a vibrant developer community
Cons
The primary issue for me was the learning curve when I was initially starting out as a developer and its complexity regarding managing branches, resolving conflicts and the need of constant planning and coordination in order to properly use the system and its features.

Overall github is very easy to use. There are vast amount of tutorial on internet to get started with it & it's the most popular tool for source code management which makes it the number one choice to use.
Pros
Github is free to use anyone can easily use to for storing their code tracking it. It's easy to use. With authentication using token only you can push your code to the github repository which provides more security. Most of the open source projects are on the github which makes it first choice for any developer.
Cons
As it is free to use and there is not much regularity in github which can be misused. The continuous integration & continuous deployment feature needs to be improved.

Overall, my experience with GitHub has been very positive. I've used it extensively for managing and sharing code for my research projects. The platform's capabilities have been invaluable in keeping my work organized, especially when revisiting previous stages of my research. The ability to track changes, create branches, and merge code has streamlined my workflow and made it easier to manage complex projects. GitHub has become an essential tool in my research process.
Pros
The ease of version control, the ability to track changes, and also the seamless way it allows multiple people to work on the same project. The availability of open-source projects and the ability to learn from others' code, is also a huge plus. It helped me a lot in my research.
Cons
It can be a learning curve for beginners. The interface can be a bit overwhelming at first, especially for those who are new to version control or command-line tools. Also, navigating through large projects with many branches and pull requests can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Excellent platform! Coders and coder maintainers survive on this.
Pros
In my opinion, GitHub stands out as a top-notch platform with an intuitive user interface that makes navigation a breeze. The robust security measures instill confidence, and the extensive integrations covering source code management, issue tracking, and project management enhance its versatility. I appreciate the platform's speed, user-friendly experience, and efficient project management features like Kanban cards. GitHub's version control capabilities allow for seamless tracking and reverting of code changes. Collaborating on files or code is made easy, and the organization feature adds a layer of control with access management and team coordination. The GitHub Desktop's visual interface simplifies less-common Git commands, and GitHub Actions for continuous integration has been a game-changer in my development workflows. The insightful visualizations, including the network graph, provide valuable historical project insights. Overall, GitHub has become my go-to platform for its comprehensive suite of features, making software development and collaboration a smooth and rewarding experience.
Cons
In my opinion, managing large-sized files is hectic. Leading to efficiency issues.

For overall experience with Github is totally great. It's fast, easy, flexible and mainly it is free. Moreover, GitHub has some features, like git page. It can support your portfolio upload in public. I really like it.
Pros
The most I like about Github is Repository CRUD. I always use Github for my projects and create repository on Github and collaborate with my colleagues. It's really awesome. My working process is easy and fast due to Github.
Cons
The least I like about Github is Git merging. It was stuck something when I want to merge with my colleagues's branches like rebase. I can't push and pull at that time. I think it needs to fix it later.

Cons
Github cahnged the authentication mechanism to commit using only tokens not from the passwords, so a new user might face difficulties.
There's not much regulation in the github which might can be used for wrongful purpose. The CI/CD as github action needs more updates, also due complex yaml syntax it can be difficult to use.
