Same issue here for me. Downdetector [1] agrees, and github status page was just updated now.

It used to be having GitHub in the critical path for deployment wasn't so bad, but these days you'd have to be utterly irresponsible to work that way. They need to get a grip on this.

Eh, the lesson from us-east-1 outage is that you should cling to the big ones instead. You get the convenience + nobody gets mad at you over the failure.

I didn't really want to work today anyways. First cloudflare, now this... Seems like a sign to get some fresh air

The last outage was a whole 5 days ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45915731

Didn't I hear github is moving to Microsoft Azure ? I wonder if these outages are related to the move.

Remember hotmail :)

FYI in an emergency you can edit files directly on Github without the need to use git.

Edit: ugh... if you rely on GH Actions for workflows though actions/checkout@v4 is also currently experiencing the git issues, so no dice if you depend on that.
