It goes down every month like I said before [0]. The last time this happened was 2 days ago [1] then weeks ago [2] and it is evident that it is falling apart in front of us.

First, it was the RSA key leak in [1][3], then the site's key expired causing down time again [2] and now this.

I don't think anyone can tell me with a straight face that GitHub was any more reliable or better when Microsoft acquired it. It is now worse off.

Nothing has changed except for more outages and downtime.

So so reliable. /s

Because this needs to happen as one prepares to push to day's last deploy. Back to backups.

Have backups for critical systems, people. In my case, it's building docker containers locally and luckily deploying to one server via ssh.

Because if you don't spend multiple days per year managing your own "backup" to GitHub, you might be left unable to push to GitHub for a few hours per year?

btw, I hope none of your CI system relies on build steps that might include pulling code from GitHub or downloading packages from GitHub Package registry. Often when GitHub is down, my CI system on GitLab is broken too.
