Is GitHub replacing Azure DevOps?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 11:29 am

GitHub is a popular code management and collaboration platform used by developers worldwide. Initially designed for software development, GitHub has since expanded its offerings to include other types of development, including DevOps.

GitHub and Azure DevOps share some similarities. Both platforms provide a code repository, CI/CD, and automated deploy capabilities.

However, there are several key differences.

First, GitHub is free for individual developers. Azure DevOps, on the other hand, is a subscription-based service that offers additional features, such as code quality analysis, team collaboration, and performance monitoring.

PRO TIP: There is no evidence to suggest that GitHub is replacing Azure DevOps. However, it is worth noting that Azure DevOps does offer a GitHub integration which allows developers to work with Azure DevOps repositories from within the GitHub interface. Therefore, it is possible that some users may find the GitHub integration to be more user-friendly and prefer to use it over the Azure DevOps interface.

Second, GitHub is more widely used. According to a study by New Relic, GitHub is used by more than 60% of developers.

Azure DevOps is used by a slightly smaller percentage, but it is still popular.

Third, Azure DevOps is more powerful. Azure DevOps has more features, such as support for multiple languages, versioning, and containers.

Overall, GitHub is a popular code management and collaboration platform used by developers worldwide. Azure DevOps is a subscription-based service that offers additional features, such as code quality analysis, team collaboration, and performance monitoring.

However, GitHub is more widely used and is more powerful.
