Probably a DDoS from a foreign actor.

Github was good while it lasted. Back to SourceForge.

Then if SF goes down we'll go back to emails & patches. Issues will be tracked with post-its & todo lists and communicated by voice.

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.

Blame it on OAuth/OpenID.

Young blood here. Can we go further?

Obligatory "If only Git was a distributed system" snarky comment. But this is seriously not a good time. Using gh-pages, hard deadline tomorrow morning.

Might https://surge.sh help?

Sure, but the stuff I need is already hosted on github. As is most of the API docs I need.

At the very least I need URLs for my stuff so I can put them in things I'm writing. But I need to check github to find them.

Basically, every 3rd thing I looked up in the last 20min was hosted on github.

https://status.github.com/messages/2016-07-21 by the way, why the status from July 15, 2016 to July 21, 2016 is red ?

It looks like they've lost a chunk of data - the last items in my news feed are from the 14th of July.

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

The git hosting is fairly independent of the web site. It happens fairly frequently that one is down and the other isn't. The git hosting has a resilient distributed back end designed to maintain redundant replicas and be highly available. The web site is, I believe, a huge Rails app.

Not only the website, all the github pages sites were down also

I'm looking forward to the postmortem—GitHub usually does an excellent job with those.
