Earlier quoted context omitted.

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'…

You can also git clone over ssh. That's kinda equivalent to what the git@github.com form does.

    $ git clone ssh://git@github.com/influxdata/influxdb-ios
    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

Apparently they can see into the future and know for a fact that they'll still be having issues in a few hours.

This is new. Looks like github is still "working" when it's down. $ git push origin master Counting objects: 5, done. Delta compression using up to 8 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done. Writing objects: 100% (5/5), 433 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done. Total 5 (delta 4), reused 0 (delta 0) remote: Unexpected system error after push was received. remote: These changes may not be reflected on github.com! remote: You…

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.

If you're talking about PHP's composer, You can include arbitrary repos with it, you don't have to depend on packagist at all.

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.

I'm still working over here. I mean I took a quick break to read HN. But no productivity problems. Why can't you keep working?

exactly why I host all my repos on my own dedicated server with my own backup, and then mirror/sync to github

and also why I do include my dependencies in my projects

having a build tool fetching dependencies dynamically on github or whatever is not a convenience, it's a PITA

just sayin' even extremly reliable hosted services can fail, do own your repositories, going back to write some code ;)

Fortunately git is distributed and lets you work offline. https://git-scm.com/about/distributed

I'm trying to read some webpages hosted on GitHub.

Try adding www instead of hitting the apex. If not github.io urls should still work.
