Do we really need to be notified every time GitHub or Twitter go down temporarily? It's inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

Maybe it's a sign someone should look into an expanded notification system. I imagine someone could cook up an interesting IF case for IFTTT. A good way for a company like GitHub to do it might be an RSS feed. That won't necessarily allow to define a status message type indicating the occurrence of the problem vs. the resolution - and the severity of the status problem.

it's not an RSS feed, but:

The do have the linked website (status.github.com) and a twitter account (@githubstatus) which honestly seem pretty sufficient already.

unfortunately, the status page is fairly inaccurate and delayed.

(note that I'm not agreeing we should post to HN for every blip)

Just have both gitlab and github as upstreams and push to both every time. aka in your .git/config: [remote "origin"] url = https://github.com/somerepo.git url = https://gitlab.yourdomain.tld/somerepo.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* And nothing to worry about when github is down.

Huh. I wasn't aware you could do that. What happens if the repos aren't in sync and you pull?

the space-time continuum collapses?
