Which is better Cloud9 or Github for team development?

Question

GitHub

Dear experts, I ask you to help solve the issue. I don't know much about this, as I'm not a programmer. But the programmers in the team have 2 different opinions.
Our task is to organize a comfortable working environment for a team of 5 people + freelancers.
And one option is to use Cloud9, as I understand it, all changes are made there in real time and you can immediately see the result.
Github or Bitbucke - here I understand that the code is simply buried, various branches are made, you can track changes and comment on the work. The stable version is already installed on the server.
This is my concept. And how much they can't agree on, I'll have to decide. I ask you for help, because I did not find suitable information on the Internet in Russian.
Perhaps someone will share about the convenience and features of the systems and what is a more progressive and promising environment. Any information would be helpful.

Answer 1

One and the other are completely different things.
Cloud9 is the so-called IDE, an integrated development environment that allows you to write code, and it allows, including, like almost any other advanced IDE in terms of functionality, to send this code to one or another repository, even if it is hosted on GitHub, anywhere else.
GitHub, as well as BitBucket, which by the way is also supported by Cloud9, as well as any other similar service, do not provide opportunities for writing code, similar to those that IDEs usually provide.
Accordingly, nothing prevents your programmers from using both of these solutions, moreover, you probably only need to decide on one - with the place where your code will be stored, that is, with the repository server, it can be either GitHub, or a local server, or any other, but it is up to each programmer to decide who and where will write the code - let someone write code in Cloud9, someone in PhpStorm, someone in Notepad ++, someone in general vim, if he wants, the main thing is that from all these IDEs (if in a simple way, from all these code editors) the code will end up in one place where you can see who wrote what and when, and which of these should be put on a working server, and what to test for now, and so on and so forth.

Answer 2

In my opinion, a little strange question: Cloud9 or Github?
It's like asking: do you want a mug or coffee?
Github - for storing code and sharing it with others. You still need to run this code somewhere (on Cloud9, locally or with a provider...)
Cloud9 is a development environment. You still need to store the code somewhere. On Github, on a flash drive, on a server...
