Dang. It's too bad their customers' source control files aren't distributed and decentralized, or they could keep working and ignore this.

The problem is not the files, it's the project management stuff (issues and PR tracking). That is a SPOF. If they could decentralize that, then nobody would care if they are down half the time.

Githubs uptime is pretty bad. Isn't it under 95% for the year now?

95% would mean it would have over 18 days offline!

I wouldn't even put it in the 99% (3.7 days) uptime category either.

I had to change a username from capitalized to uncapitalized and use my updated remote afterwards, apologies if I broke it for everyone.

I would love to see a chart of traffic to other sites when GitHub goes down. My bet is that HackerNews and Twitter both get significant spikes from all those bored developers.
