A valuable service providing a number of tools for productive collaboration and management of source code. For academics, it's a no brainer to use GitHub with their educational offerings to help prepare your students for the industry.
GitHub provides a single service where source code control, documentation, issue tracking, and more are possible. All of these aspects are well integrated and can even reference lines from the source from different commits. Pricing for academics is extremely generous.
There's not much to not like in GitHub. It does a lot of things well. Some little things can be improved like better user administration and creating a way for users to sign-up for your organization rather than inviting a user to join your organization.

It is a secure, scalable and reliable tool used to effectively manage version-control of any software, ideal for various types of code. GitHub has a wide range of capabilities and security measures.
Users can manage their time more efficiently by doing code versioning and code review. Multiple developers can stay in sync with each other and can develop their software products in collaboration with one another. Open Source software products can be created, accessed and improved publicly and developers can contribute to the Open Source project from anywhere in the world. GitHub can be used as a resume as it helps with visibility and reputation building for developers by allowing recruiters to view their interesting projects when applying for job opportunities.
The intial learning curve can be tricky for new users. Onboarding requires a bit of detail and practise with regards to cloning repositories, creating a fork/ branch, pushing changes to code and raising pull requests when getting started, but once this process is well understood, the product is easy to use.

Overall, my experience was fabulous. There is every feature I need to manage my projects like - managing the source code, Hosting the application, committing changes, and of course, having a social profile on GitHub.
There are so many features in Github. I am currently using the Student package which I got through GitHub Education. The best thing I experienced was the support being given to the students. This is very useful for managing the project and its source code. Also, I liked the GITHUB PAGES feature most because of the Ease of Deployment. After uploading the files and creating a repository, we can directly deploy the project in a few clicks.
I liked everything on the platform, their UI, features, support tutorials, etc. There is no such thing that I hate or dislike. There are no ads or stuff like that. Yeah.
