So down right now...I wonder why they still use https://www.githubstatus.com/ that reports everything is alright when it's not!

If it takes someone to manually change it from green to red, that does seem to defeat the purpose.

Unknown unknowns means you can have catastrophic system failures that automated alerts don't detect.

Everytime github goes down, and my push/pull is rejected, I immediately assume they’ve discovered I’m incompetent and fired me. And I’m the head of engineering at my company.

Seems to be a fairly catastrophic failure. https://github.com/ fails to load. https://www.githubstatus.com/ shows all green as of this writing. Nothing on the twitter yet https://twitter.com/githubstatus edit: The outage is now acknowledged on the status page https://www.githubstatus.com/ edit: EU folks appear to have things working so it looks like a regional network fault

Looks like they finally updated the second status page to show the outage.

https://downdetector.com/status/github/ is a far more reliable source - it's just powered by user reports and often will show issues long before the status page ever receives an update.

Use the downtime to purchase a Yubikey/FIDO2.
