Personal Review on GitHub
Overall, I would say it is awesome. When it comes to IT, programming or technology related fields the one word that comes to people’s mind when thinking about sharing or publishing their project source code is obviously “GitHub”.
PROSThe ease of access without any hassle, and the platform to manage projects and source codes.
CONSWell, I would say the limit to the GitHub code space is really painful as Codespace is really a helpful tool for developing a project, as it allows to deal with multiple instances with no Memory or CPU hassle.

Excellent source control but archaic billing
It is very easy to collaborate and work on code changes, publish releases, and run automation scripts. The UI is fast and they are improving it constantly making it quick and efficient to navigate to the repository and even the file you want.
CONSMy biggest gripe about GitHub is the billing. You have to buy a fixed number of seats and you can only increment it in 10s. So, even if you need just one extra user, you still have to pay for 10. It also takes a long time (2-3 days, more in some cases) to get the licenses added. I can't even process why this is the case. I would much rather have preferred usage billing.

Github review (8 years of usage)
- free private repo is cool - Github actions is awesome - Github pages saves a lot of money for web apps demo & open source projects. I myself have hosted all of my open sources web apps on Github pages. These are my favorites. Rest I can go on and on.
CONS- Search feature is lacking. If there was better search functionality (eg. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] - powered by algolia), it would be a lot helpful. Searching one report among thousands is a pan right now. - Dependabot is pain - Sometimes Github pages doesn't update properly - Don't get relevant projects on "Explore repositories" section
Reason for choosing GitHub
GitHub has a lot of cool features for free.
Reasons for switching to GitHub
Github was better, in terms of free features and the UI.

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.
PROSYou 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.
CONSThere 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.
