Well handled, minus the unicorns. Tangentially relevant: I just wish Github offered some sort of an academic plan for students, no private repo means that I cannot use Github at all not because I'm building closed-source software, but because I (obviously) can't put my assignment work for public viewing before the assignment deadline. So I've been using Bitbucket, which is fine and all, but I would have loved to be a part of Github community.

#23That's a really nice status dashboard, tracking and publicly displaying your 98th% is really cool. On the other hand stuff like this: "13:17 UTC We are seeing unicorns ..." Comes off as un-professional at exactly the wrong moment.
Unicorns are the illustration for server error pages.

Likewise - I haven't the slightest idea what "unicorns" are in this context.

#25I'm amazed at how much this has knocked me on my arse.
I first attempted to redo the README for a service I've just open-sourced, before realising Github is down.
Then, I attempted to fix the company CI server (OOM errors because of Carrierwave needing more than 500MB of memory to run 1 spec in, for some unknown reason), which failed because it couldn't check out the code.
After giving up on that, I attempted to install Graphite to a company server, where I hit another roadblock because the downloads are hosted on Github, and so I had to use Launchpad, which I had an allergic reaction to.
Also, when I was shelling into the server, oh-my-zsh failed to update because, you guessed it, Github was down.
Still, shouts to the ops team in the trenches, we're rooting for you.

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
How is that un-professional? Unicorns mean errors for github, and they report them. This is more professional reporting than most companies do.
> Unicorns mean errors for github I have no idea what this means, but I can see how the idea of coming up with an alternate language in which fantasy creatures represent things we already have established words for might seem unprofessional
Quite literally, the unhandled error page on github shows a unicorn. As seen on this google image search result[1]. It appears they have put up an octocat "we are down" temporary static page right now though...

Five dollars...
You can also commit locally, and only push after the deadline.

You can push to both at the same time, no need for hooks.

They do offer a free plan for students. I get 5 free private repos.
I can't get the link now since GitHub is down ha, but when it's back up, just have a quick google and you'll find a quick form to fill in and voila. It's great.
