Yeah, our builds are failing for a couple of hours now, and we just use Github because one of the dependencies in NPM downloads a binary from a public repository. We're already forking what we can to our gitlab self-hosted server, but even a simple git clone or even browsing the website can lead to a HTTP 500 right now.

Lots of incidents lately, but it's becoming increasingly hard to get away from Github.

Seriously, again!? I am growing seriously impatient with this. It's been downhill since Microsoft took over.

GitLab is starting to look good (or even Gitea self-hosted).

I changed the i18n of Gogs to s/Organization/Folder/, which I think works pretty well, though I'm becoming more interested in gitea's fork. I reckon the same trick will work.

Surely it can't be a coincidence that Github is down every other week after the Microsoft acquisition? Is Microsoft interfering too much? Or did the core technical expertise leave for other greener pastures in Microsoft or outside?

I might just self-host Gitea on my Pi today

I was going to warn you about SD card corruption, but then I realized even this is probably more reliable than GitHub at this point.
