I ask because I have no plausible answer: What does someone stand to gain by DDoSing github?
maybe some hackers who believes git repos should be, well, distributed?
This is getting really problematic. It stops our whole team every time. Anybody has experience with Gitlab and Gitlab CI? How's the flow compared to Github, especially for pull requests, commenting and collaboration?
This happens to our team too. Does anyone else find it ironic that Git is a distributed version control system, yet we rushed to centralize it and base our entire workflow around GitHub?
Anything business related we use beanstalkapp, for its better price-per-private repo and deployments in any case (no issues with them ever!)

blackmailing ? "if you dont pay we'll DDOS you" or whatever. Given all these infected Windows computers all over the world ,it's not going to stop soon. That's the Microsoft legacy.
Am I crazy in thinking that there's zero chance Github would pay a "ransom"? Seems like they'd just work with their vendors/providers and mitigate it to avoid setting that precedent (making them even more vulnerable to future attempts).
I do not understand why GitHub get attacked so often - honestly it's not like they are doing anything wrong, they are a fabulous service and the go-to place for most (if not all) developers for all sorts of projects, be it open source or in an enterprise/corporate context.

Github is just a node. IF Github dies , people still have the full repos on their computers.That's not always the case with SVN... And most people are too lazy/dont have resources to set up a git server anyway.
You can probably blame those teams for that more than GitHub but people do seem to have bought into the idea that we can just jam everything up to GitHub and get it back later.
So what?
The so what is that the majority of people on HN are developers and the majority of them use Github either personally or with their teams. So a major outage is costing potentially millions of dollars in potentially lost developer time. If you calculate an average hourly of just $50 and a developer loses 20 minutes. Then that outage costs $17 x the number of affected developers. That's a pretty big loss. I'm reading H…

Is there a VM image like Github enterprise?
There is at least one Vagrant+puppet installer I know of but, well, uhhh... it's on Github and won't help you much at this point :P https://github.com/sbadia/puppet-gitlab
I still very much love GitHub, it just ended up not scaling for us (we have a lot of repositories that seldom needs to be touched, which results in a $20 / month Linode + Backup being a much better solution)
GitLab also allows us to group repositories and gives a little bit more flexibility in regards of git server-hooks. Also, server-side branch locking! (Does anybody know how to lock branches server-side with GitHub?)
