Yes, still having hiccups for me. I started having issues about 24 hours ago. What is the reason for this spate of outages? GitHub is a mature, stable product. What core features could its engineers possibly need to be working on that whatever they did broke core backend functionality so badly?

Might simply be infrastructure consolidation since Microsoft bought them. Same reason behind the Azure pipe / GitHub Actions mess.

I regret that uptime became a clause in SLAs, or a reputation/marketing thing. I don't care about how many 9s are after your decimal, I just want to know if your service is down or if something is wrong on my end.

#26Remember when git came out, one of its features was being a decentralized, distributed version control system? Yeah.
You can still work on your Git tree, you just can’t sync with this SSOT.

Git is not GitHub. GitHub is not git.
You can absolutely do git in a distributed way.
That doesn't help when your business workflow relies on GitHub for access control, artifact hosting, issue management, PR coordination & approval, and all the thousand other things that people use GitHub for.

"operational" comes with strings attached. We don't know what internal SLAs specify but most likely the service is meeting those agreements. Should we get a refund? :)
