Anyone know if this could be related to the Youtube outage? It's been a while since I've seen these big websites go down.

For storing things other than git repos, GitHub is heavily invested in MySQL. AFAIK all of GitHub is hosted on their own hardware.

In what way? Youtube runs on internal google hardware, GitHub runs on its own hardware too.
It could be a networking issue, but you'd expect more sites to be impacted.
If it were a software issue, you'd expect a big player like google to be aggressively patching and talking about a bad release.
More likely is its just a coincidence.

#24Interesting how everyone uses a tool designed to eliminate SPOF in a way it has a SPOF.

GitHub does not equal git; the reason I’m paused is because I use Github’s issue queues to organize my OSS work. Much easier than self hosting an issue repository/bug tracker. I am still able to do all my work, run new containers, etc., but GitHub is more tied into business processes than actual code (which is what causes the pain during these outages).

This is certainly making me rethink the workflows we are using in my team, particularly those around PRs and code review.

I can push a branch but I cannot access the pull requests that I create off of that branch

I'm not sure how you could postulate that they're related

#30This has been super frustrating, as people have deadlines and are working to finish projects before Monday morning.
What are the (good) alternatives to Github? Gitlab supposedly is Google-backed, so I don't want to have my private code there. Is Bitbucket the only one left?
I don't mind paying monthly, which I already do for GitHub.
