And this is why I use Google Code: supports git and is more reliable than Github. It's a shame that they don't offer a paid service for closed-source software.
Where do you live, under a rock? Of course they offer paid service for closed-source software.
This is why I love git (and distributed version control systems in general). For the most part a short downtime isn't the end of the world. When it comes back up I'll push my changes and that'll be that.
I would point out that both TFS and Mercurial do the same thing (as does ClearCase, but ClearCase is awwwful), but with much less memory consumption on the local PC. Not trying to add snark (I upvoted the above comment), just adding that it's not a GitHub feature.
The only SCM I like less than TFS is SourceDepot. The bane of my existence. It's sad when I can rant about it abstractly and my father can sympathize.

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
So when they say 'we saw unicorns' they literally saw (reports of people seeing) pictures of unicorns. Now I understand that might confuse someone who does not regularily use github, but it is just a term that is in their jargon and I see no reason why they should market-speak that up in an intermediate status message. (Note that these status messages are not press releases but reports that engineers make during the discovery process)
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…

It's the exact same linguistic process that lets Americans refer to the executive branch of government as "the white house". I'd hardly call it unprofessional.

Exactly. I'm sitting here thinking "poor GitHub engineers" rather than "oh crap, how am I going to work?" (Though I do wish GitHub Issues weren't as centralized...)

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.
What about a script/service to mirror Bitbucket and Github (or others) through webhooks or etc? Was just getting my hands on Homebrew after a fresh OS install when i hit the Octobummer :-/
.git/config [remote "bitbucket"] url = git@bitbucket.org:you/repo.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/bitbucket/* $ git push bitbucket //edit after tinco's comment +refs/heads/ :refs/remotes/origin/ -> +refs/heads/ :refs/remotes/bitbucket/
