GitHub major issues - repos have "lost" commits and site is erroring • Hacker News Board

Is it just me or has guthub's performance and reliability been getting progressively worse over the past month or two? Even putting this issue aside, and the outages, pushing to a private repo takes _minutes_ now, and file lists in the web interface often don't load without a page refresh.

In future, they keep a very up-to-date status page at http://status.github.com/

There is nothing useful on that page. The error is in full effect right now.

At the price and size of Linode instances, it's cheaper and I feel better knowing I'm in control when I run Redmine+Gitosis. When I had my github account and something went wrong, I couldn't just ssh in and fix it. All I could do is wait.

Now, for some people, I can see how waiting is an easier solution. I personally just don't like it.

(of course, this is reffering to private repos. public repos are still king on github)

I'm still on the fence about that whole cloud thing, personally.

It isnt just private repos. I'm seeing it on various public repos on github.

Someone had shared a public repo with me on Monday. It started 404ing the next day and I had assumed he took it down. I realize now that it must have been this issue. I just checked for it and it is back.

Oops, my bad. I mistakenly thought the 'db error' notice was for today.

I retract the 'very' in my original parent comment, replacing it with 'usually'.
