Got here because of that haha, can't deploy. EDIT: Why downvote fellas?

Downvotes are most likely because – if you are already using git – you should just be able to switch over to a local repo?

Depends how his deployment pipeline is plumbed in. If he's dependent on Travis for builds (for example), he can't just switch.

has any one tried setting up a fossil-scm locally and work with that instead

Yeah. I've been using it on and off for a while, but git works fine locally, so it was mostly for private bug tracking.

I hope the world realizes that clouds are not just fluffy white things in the blue sky, but can create destructive storms too, with wind, rain and so on.

Make sure your infrastructure is ready to weather such storms - have local backups and fallbacks, make sure your code is available even if github (or the Internet) goes down.

The more I hear 'cloud', the more I try to depend only on tools that work offline.

You'd think by now GH would have a more resilient system in place ... I mean it isn't like it is the first time it happens to them. Thanks for the downvote, my hearts goes to you. :/

...which is why we switched to a local instance of Gitlab: stuff still works, no matter whether Github is in business, whether their servers are up, or even whether our internet pipes are up. CLOUDCLOUDCLOUD!!!
