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

Pretty much every company has been shown to have fake status pages at this point.

From my experience, GitHub is the best out there when it comes to updating their status page.

Really? Why?

That's so disappointing.

140.82.113.0/24 is visible in the global routing table: route-views>sh bgp 140.82.113.0 BGP routing table entry for 140.82.113.0/24, version 62582026 Paths: (19 available, best #4, table default) The route is verified by RPKI so it's not a route hijack. Edit: deleted traceroute

github.com for me returns 140.82.121.3 which routes fine in the uk, returning from

lb-140-82-121-3-fra.github.com

which from the distance and name I would assume is a frankfurt based load balancer. I get there from BT -> Zayo

I can reach that IP from Washington too, but github returns 140.82.114.3 and 140.82.114.4 from DNS at 1.1.1.1 on a Level3 handoff in Washington

Spot checks around the place show the first returned IP as pingable across the world

Bangkok, Dhaka, Jakarta - 20.205.243.166

Seoul - 20.200.245.247

Nairobi - 20.87.225.212

Kabul, Dakar, Amman, Amman, Cairo - 140.82.121.3

Moscow, Riga, Istanbul - 140.82.121.4

Miami - 140.82.114.3

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.

I think the same thing every time my credentials to our issue tracker expires and I have to log in again.

I am the lead dev on two projects.

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

EU here. Actions are failing to run. Rest is kinda ok.
