They just now managed to get "effecting" changed "affecting", so there's hope!

Grammar police are on the job- everyone can calm down... Unless the grammar police are the REASON for the outage. Mother should I trust the government?

sigh Many moons ago when I was a starry-eyed lad just learning to use Git, I remember all the cheerful sentences in the Git book like "Unlike SVN, with Git you can work even when the server is down!"

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Why do they have an angry unicorn on their outage page?

They use unicorn[1] as a HTTP server [1] http://unicorn.bogomips.org/

First time I saw that logo was on this Android ROM, I wonder which used it first?

http://aokp.co/

(they're using a different but similar image now, but they used to use that exact same logo)

Does this have something to do with the constant DoS attacks they've been getting from a certain country for hosting certain open source projects that defy the censorship authority of said certain country?

Russia? China? Is it forbidden to state the country?

Good thing we've got mirrors, and don't depend on GitHub for releases. Still, we interact with our customers through GitHub and use it heavily in our workflow. Productivity is impacted if not stopped.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

As GitHub queues up webhooks, we're bracing for impact at buddybuild! :)

But no one can do anything to generate new webhooks.

pushes have been working for the past 10-15 minutes... pulls for 5-10 minutes.

Doesn't look like DDoS, maybe they deployed some dodgy code?

...graph is shocking, it's like somebody pulled the plug out.

As a workaround, I can add all of you to my company's GitHub Enterprise install. It's only ~$2,500/year per 10 users, so I can just expense it.

Can someone explain this to people who don't use bower?
