You know what I think would reverse the trend? More vibe coding!

I know you are joking but I'm sure that there is at least one director or VP inside GitHub pushing a new salvation project that must use AI to solve all the problems, when actually the most likely reason is engineers are drawing in tech debt.

It’s not a joke. This is funny because it is true.

Status page currently says the only issue is notification delays, but I have been getting a lot of Unicorn pages while trying to access PRs. Edit: Looks like they've got a status page up now for PRs, separate from the earlier notifications one: https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/smf24rvl67v9 Edit: Now acknowledging issues across GitHub as a whole, not just PRs.

git operations are down too.

What are good alternatives to GitHub for private repos + actions? I'm considering moving my company off of it because of reliablity issues.

If you want to go really minimal you can do raw git+ssh and hooks (pre/post commit, etc).

i would imagine that's what everyone is doing instead of sitting on their hands. Setup a different remote and have your team push/pull to/from it until Github comes back up. I mean you could probably use ngrok and setup a remote on your laptop in a pinch. You shouldn't be totally blocked except for things like automated deployments or builds tied specifically to github.com

Distributed source control is distributable.

Better to replace management by AI. Computers can produce spreadsheets even better and they can warm the air around you even faster.

Plus they don't take stock options!
