Thankfully git is a distributed version control system, so such outages are not of major concern.
Does GitHub provide uptime stats? Seems very unreliable recently.

Some people have their entire roadmap in GitHub, and every single bug report / feature request, without any offline backup. Don't ask me why, I don't get it. Especially since they have proven for the last few years that they cannot keep the platform up in a stable manner.
The GitHub Status shows 14 incidents affecting Git Operations this year alone [1]. That's quite a lot, considering it's only May. I wonder if the outages were always this frequent and just get more publicity on here now, or whether there was a significant increase in outages fairly recently.

There was a period of time when GitHub basically didn't change, for years. And the platform was relatively stable (although "unicorns" (downtime)) still happened from time to time.
But nowhere near as often as now, but then again, there is a lot of more moving pieces now compared to before.
Why don't we all collectively mirror our repos to gitlab and switch development to there during the monthly outage?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
https://status.gitlab.com/ lists 27 incidents this year, so far.
https://www.githubstatus.com/history lists 72 incidents since January

They used to, some screenshots of it existing here: https://interface.lt/github-uptime-and-microsoft
Heh, if anything it has gotten worse.
That's almost believable at this point. ;)

GitHub is probably as reliable now as it has been for the past 10 years. It's always had downtime.
