A reminder of how centralized and dependent the whole industry has become on GH, which is ironic, considering that git itself is designed to be decentralized. Good opportunity to think about mirroring your repos somewhere else like Gitea or Gitlab.
Could it have been brought down intentionally? Related to this? https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/github-action...
A coworker and I just had to use `git format-patch` and `git am` to exchange work. Git is super cool!
There goes Pages, there goes the CDN for release artifacts, there goes any package manager hosting repositories on GitHub. Is this outage just contained to github or is it an Azure outage?

How would customer credentials being leaked be part of an outage of this size ?
RIP to all those who host their websites on GitHub pages :(
Anybody who publishes an app on the Google Play store and hosts their privacy policy on Github pages may have their app taken down because Google's bots won't be able to verify it exists. That happened to me a while back with an app listing that was almost 10 years old because the server I was hosting the policy on went down. Ironically, I switched it to Github pages so it wouldn't happen again.
Love that HN is a better status page for dev services than most companies can manage to provide. Knew I'd find it here but on the front page within 3 minutes is impressive.
I guess when GitHub goes down, it is somehow strangely tolerated for years even after the acquisition and goes down more times than Twitter. When the latter encounters a speed-bump, just like the 'interview' with Trump, it's global news because a Mr Elon Musk owns it. Both seem to be doing too much all at once. But really it is worse with Github if this is what Microsoft stewardship is incidents every, single week an…
What’s the point of bringing up twitter? It is strange to seek victimhood for a petulant billionaire. Of course, it is worse with GitHub because GitHub actually provides useful functionality.
I've never seen an outage this big. Even the homepage doesn't load. We've had recurrent issues with Actions not running, but this seems a lot bigger. The status page says all is well, though: https://www.githubstatus.com/ . Hilarious.
It's 00:16, just about to go to bed, I ran `git push` and it's not working. Check Github, says it's down, I think it's only me, maybe I'm blocked, Github can't be down. Come here to check and it's down for everyone, such a relief.
