Too bad git is a distributed version control system, so you have your repositories locally and can continue work without remote access.

Damn Russian hackers at it again.

Maybe someone posted something that offended the Chinese again.

how useful are these posts, really? EDIT (20min after OP): someone should now submit "Github back up" thread

Pretty useless. It even is up for me (UK). People just like the drama.

GitHub's Twitter status post at the start of the outage:

https://twitter.com/githubstatus/status/819940738452615168

Currently 442 retweets, 266 likes.

⋯

OK, they say it's back up:

Good time for a coffee break!

Always ready for a GitHub down!

At least it's 5 pm in here.

Shameless plug: I wrote a small service to monitor the status of many cloud services (github included) in one page http://isserviceup.com

Is that not an extended variation of the https://cachethq.io logo?

Obligatory Gogs plug: https://gogs.io It also has an awesome automatic mirror mode that can remain sync'd to a remkte repository. I don't care what your company does or how you run it, but please don't just rely on Github to host your code without a mirror somewhere. There are drawbacks to this incessant centralization.

Instead of Gogs it is now recommended to use Gitea, since it has more activity (~400 more commits last time I checked) and is community driven: https://gitea.io/

According to their Blog: Gitea is a community fork of the popular self-hosted Git service Gogs. We’re a growing group of former Gogs users and contributors who found the single-maintainer management model of Gogs frustrating and thus decided to make an effort to build a more open and faster development model. https://blog.gitea.io/2016/12/welcome-to-gitea/
