Who is GitHub best for?
In other words, GitHub is still the default Git host in 2026 for any team that wants industry-standard PR workflows, code review, CI/CD (Actions), and native Copilot AI. Free for public repos; Team is the entry paid tier, Enterprise for larger orgs. Fast onboarding for anyone who's used Git. Massive integration ecosystem. Downside: Actions runtime costs are a scale-time surprise for many teams, and Copilot is a separate subscription per developer on top of the base seat.
What is GitHub not for?
Self-hosted or DevOps-heavy team? Pick GitLab for an integrated pipeline. Solo dev or small team already using Jira? Bitbucket free tier fits well.
