Can't pull anything from my repos which is not great.

Yeah, this is not good. I've experienced other outages on their other products (e.g. GitHub Actions), but not even being able to do a basic git pull is an entirely different level.

I'm effectively dead in the water here. I guess I'll go touch some grass. Thank you to the SRE's who are looking at this.

It's almost as if only Git is distributed, but people sold out to Github for convenience. Too bad Git lacks a distributed bug tracker and wiki system like Fossil. Guess Github has to fail a lot more for things to change.

Experiencing this as well. I was a bit concerned something was wrong with my key but alas it is not my key but an outage. Developer "snow day".

Spent like 30 mins tryig to figure out why ssh auth was not working. Compared sha256 signatures, doubted my reading abilities and pulled my hair.

people could not be more clear that their preference is for reliable and easy-to-use centralized services maintained by professionals, and not decentralized systems that require a great deal of user expertise
