Code hosting
GitHub: when to use it and where it fits.
The home base for repositories, version history, issues, pull requests, and collaboration around software projects.
Best fit: Use it as the source of truth for code, generated sites, docs, and deployment history.
What it is good for
- Useful for git when the tool has a clear job instead of being added just because it is popular.
- Useful for repos when the tool has a clear job instead of being added just because it is popular.
- Useful for pull requests when the tool has a clear job instead of being added just because it is popular.
How to evaluate it
Do not judge the tool from a demo alone. Test it on one real workflow, save the output, and compare the result against the time you would have spent doing the work manually.
