GitHub was down

I had just posted a link to an issue in github and when I tried to click it to see if it worked, I was wondering if I did anything wrong. Github has so much activity that many people could be thinking the same right now.

I also guess hundreds of persons are wondering if the commit they just pushed killed github's servers.

I'd be interested to see what exactly caused this. They are usually very good about preventing downtime.

We just started using Gerrit, but using Github authentication. Can't sign in! Not doing our own account management appears to have been a poor decision.

Strangely, pulling from and pushing to github works. Just that no page on their website loads.

I did the same. I spent a solid minute trying different things and googling to figure out what was wrong. Checked the status page and bam!

It's still down. :(
