Yes, seeing periodic 5xx errors (though eventually succeeds).

Interestingly `bun upgrade` catches "GitHubIsDown" as a specific case:

    $ bun upgrade
    Bun v1.2.20 is out! You're on v1.2.18
    Downloading [38003/21788202] Bun upgrade failed with error: GitHubIsDown
    
    Please upgrade manually:
      curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

(Appears to have been triggered by a 503 for https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/releases/download/bun-v1.2.20...)

That's hilarious. GitHub going doing is definitely a common enough case to flag. It's been better the last six months or so, but still pretty bad. Half the incidents aren't flagged either.

Such situations happen from time to time... Unfortunately, outages and downtime are what we need to learn to put up with

GitHub outages should be taken seriously - they can really leave u with no access to data, damaged reputation and a complete stop of business operations. I found this report which u may find useful.
