Have they written any postmortems regarding their last couple of degradations? I tried searching their blog but the only ones that popped up were over a year old.

#12This seems to be the third or so day in the past week I've had issues with GitHub around this time in the morning. They've typically been really good. I'm a bit surprised there hasn't been more talk about it on HN.
Yeah... once every few weeks is one thing. Once a day is getting really annoying.

#14Fourth time this month.
It’s quite unfortunate. I’m hoping the post some kind of RCA/analysis. I know I would if we had a month with only 2 9s of uptime.
they're doing the usual corporate status page uptime lying:

I would also be really interested in them but didn't find anything yet.
Maybe their new notification system has something to do with it?

I hope they catch up with this. If you guarantee SLA than you need to be honest with it or guarantee less.

looking again, the reporting under 'API Requests' downtime seems accurate but none of the earlier outages report downtime under 'Git Operations', which were also broken.
didn't notice there was a selector for which type of downtime on that page that didn't default to all.

I don't get it. Their own incidents tab on the same site shows four incidents this month: https://www.githubstatus.com/history
I'm not sure how that results in 99.98% uptime on the other tab.

turns out it's bad/misleading UI, there's a dropdown for which type of downtime which defaults to 'GIT Operations'
