Just use https://git.directory/ :D
Cool to see you set up a GitLab instance for others to use, I had not seed that TLD before.
GitHub's down?

#82Funny, I switched our projects to Gitlab a week ago and told the team: Because we should not trust a centrealized platform to keep our code decentralized.

People should have all their code in place and just merge and rebase from time to time? At least that's what I (a SVN user) have read on the internets about Git.

Yes, but these decisions aren't under me plus setting up a github kind of thing is way too time consuming with all the features that we're used to now.
A GitLab droplet on Digital Ocean should run you only $10/month and literally sets up in ~10 min.
Then you've just shifted the problem from GitHub being down to a VPS you've spent 10 minutes maintaining being down.

OK I get what you're saying, but honestly, who is really 'losing productivity'? I suspect the ones saying they are in fact just getting on with other tasks they can do because they are, despite github, still using distributed version control and do have access to and the ability to commit to code repositories. You don't need to host your own git daemon or github clone to get that functionality. I don't use github bec…
I guess no-one else has deployment scripts that pull from github, just because you don't have them.
GitHub isn't made for that though, if you need scripts to pull downm files for important work, then you should really be storing that stuff in S3. And probably some other place you can switch to if something goes wrong.

What makes the servers of digital ocean safer than github?
They're not GitHub. i.e. The chance of GitHub and your GitLab instance on DO going down simultaneously is very slim. Spend an extra $10/month and you can set up another DO server in another data-center, and reduce the odds of simultaneous failure even further.

GitLab CEO here, I might be missing the joke here, GitLab is a decentralized solution you run on your own servers. Maybe you are confused with GitLab.com?
Yes, Gitlab.com is not having hosting services.
Uhhmm, GitLab.com has hosting services https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-com/
Most people use GitLab to refer to the downloadable software you run locally https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/

#89Hopefully the responding on-call engineers aren't tired folks but folks in other timezones. The reason that the risk of compounding the situation is lessened, because trying to fix important shit when tired is like driving without a seatbelt. Update: seems to be back, so it doesn't matter unless someone's having an early morning.
Probably? This is a very random concern to have, why would you think that Github has problematic on-call procedures?
