One of the many status page/"is it down" services could probably get some good PR out of having a GitHub status page that's based upon live results from several geographical locations..

I mean... it still is? I can work on my codebase and commit on my local machine. Push remote to Gitlab if Github is down. When Github is back up I can push to Github. What's the problem?
Do you have the same build and deploy pipeline configured in GitLab as well? If so, congrats, you are nailing it.

"operational" comes with strings attached. We don't know what internal SLAs specify but most likely the service is meeting those agreements. Should we get a refund? :)
Maybe there's a business model here?
Sign up with Objective Uptime Inc. and tell them which vendors you have SLAs with. OU will monitor them on your behalf, compare the actual global availability to what's displayed on the vendor's status page, and if the outage exceeds agreed limits, OU can even automatically file suits on your behalf for breach of contract and misrepresentation (assuming the vendor's status page was showing all peachy).

They have reported incidents for the last two days but seem to limit it to a short amount of time which is clearly not the case for many folks out there.

Note that your repo stays usable even while GitHub is down, and your team can sync their work afterwards. Or if you prefer, you can switch to a different remote without much trouble.
On a different note, I do host my own Git server, but between maintainance downtime, power outages and ISP issues, my availability isn't nearly as good as GitHub's.

To answer most comments here, of course git is still decentralized, it’s just that almost no one use it like that. We chose the easier route, as usual. Just like most people don’t host their texts and photos on their own site.
I simply expected more from us nerds.
