For the impatient. I would make a gist but... while true; do curl -s https://status.github.com/api/status.json | grep good && tput bel || echo -n .; sleep 1; done

I'm not sure how ddos'ing github would help with the outage.

The Git backend is different from the GitHub frontend, unsurprisingly.

I suppose not. Glad to see something like this still work:

  $ git clone git@github.com:influxdata/influxdb-ios.git
  Cloning into 'influxdb-ios'...
  remote: Counting objects: 10, done.
  remote: Compressing objects: 100% (8/8), done.
  remote: Total 10 (delta 1), reused 10 (delta 1), pack-reused 0
  Receiving objects: 100% (10/10), done.
  Resolving deltas: 100% (1/1), done.
  Checking connectivity... done.
Even though this doesn't:

  $ wget https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-ios
  --2016-01-27 20:03:39--  https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-ios

I once ran rm -rf in the production mysql data directory. Shit happens.

When I worked at an ecommerce company the boss (who also was a programmer) did that too (on our master engine- not just website orders, but ebay, amazon, everything historical, inventory, RMAs.... etc etc... OOPS indeed... Yep- shit happens. *Recovered from it- was a hastle and shut down everything, but it was one of thoes whoops moments. Happens to the best of us.

Go to bitbucket, or self-host, or find some other shiny new competitor. The market speaks with its feet.

We're already planning a bitbucket move. Unfortunately it's not planned for another week or two.

Having used both, I find github's tools (mostly) better. And bitbucket isn't 100% reliable either.

Troubleshooting checklist: 1. Commit fails 2. Try again, see if it fails twice 3. Check internet connectivity 4. Try github in browser 5. Try github in a different browser 6. Go to HN to see if it's down for everyone 7. Write snarky comment 8. Go try again...

Why would your commit fail?

I was trying to copy a library down that's not available via composer, and found that this worked:

git clone git://github.com/MunGell/Codeigniter-TwitterOAuth.git .

where git clone https://... failed. YMMV, of course.

That's what you get for using bower and jquery. The react/webpack gods are angry.

or the react/webpack gods are laughing...

If you listen closely you can hear the sound of continuous integration builds around the world breaking

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

You shouldn't notice a webhook deluge because the site isn't generating events. I'm watching our webhook services though and will let you know if that changes.

What would that look like? Can you describe it? It's not very useful to say stuff without providing some sort of useful idea. You can't just say "someone should write some sort of stupid content tracker, and give it some random three-letter combination that is pronounceable," or whatever.

Can't tell if your serious or not but I suppose that would be properly implemented git.

It's sarcasm: $ man git "git - the stupid content tracker"

Regardless, most dependencies are on GitHub which breaks bower install for most people. It's crazy how much infrastructure relies on this single point of failure.

Someone should make a distributed version control system.

Would this be useful?

    # pre-push (there is not post-push)
    # Update in several places
    git push bitbucket master
    git push gitlab master
    # ...
