Did they upgrade to GitHub 11 ?
Thanks to internal politics, that only possible if they have a Technical Product Manager II (TPM).

#42Enterprise customers, remember to email your sales rep and ask for them to report on their contracted uptime with you that you are allowed to do as per contract.
They wont do this unless you ask hoping you don't notice the outages.
It creates lots of internal pain - they have no automation internally for reporting on this.
This is the only way anything will ever change. GitHub is _easily_ the most unreliable SaaS product. There's not a week whereby we aren't affected by an outage. Their reputation is mud.

#43The cloud is someone else’s computer. I wonder if self hosting is more reliable. How much does a private and firewalled git* instance need updates?
I have gitea running in my basement. You can see how often it updates on the gitea github (since they don't self host since they haven't written an importer yet). You could automate this, but I haven't spent enough time updating to make that make sense.

#45Dear sages of HN, what is the scrappy new upstart project that will rise up to take Github's place? Because this is becoming intolerable.
It's kind of weird that we've collectively decided on a distributed version control system, while centralizing where we keep the repositories and metadata.

Before gitlabs, github, etc. it was common to host your own code repos on-prem. The thing now, though, is that there's a lot of add-on functionality for how teams flow from using github over just hosting a git server.... so it's not really apples v oranges, anymore.
You can use a self hosted forge, like gitea, forejo, or gitlab.

If you just need a hosted git server, maintenance is mostly just making sure you have a proper storage/backup strategy in place.
If you want to self-host a code forge... start here: https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/admin/upgrade

#49recent developments in the C levels not withstanding, github has been a dumpster fire for quite some time now with no sign of improvement. https://www.githubstatus.com/history
Those are not even all. They had an incident with raw content on the 8th which is not listed.

#50I'm a fan of github but lately i'm seeing a lot of issues like these... Also they don't have yet support for IPv6 (surprising).
Given that they are probably at least partly on Azure, this makes it less surprising because Azure has the worst IPv6 implementation of the 3 large cloud providers.
