Pros / Cons
  • It combines task tracking, bug reporting, and documentation with built-in Git/SVN repositories, so teams can manage both project work and code in one place.
  • I absolutely detest the fact that you cannot remove a Channel if you created it within a Space or Folder (which is kind of ridiculous). And I also think it is silly that I cannot enable my Camera for Clips.

  • I'd used AWS previously for CI/CD and found the Github actions were far easier to set up and they provide a reasonable amount of processor minutes per month for free which I haven't yet breached so it's a free service there too!
  • Alot of the intergrations cot more money, which is a shame. And it seems some basic features such as branch locking as hidden behind a paywall now.
