I tried to git push; I kept getting 502 errors. I though, "Why isn't it working?" I came here to confirm it was down.

An hour after the 3D File announcement...cue unlikely/conspiratorial theories now.

Major bummer when all of those open source projects go offline.. Does anybody do a mirror of github, either http or git-only?

Not a bad guess, honestly. Pretty sure some past outages have been due to new services (such as the new Search), either due to bugs or potential security issues.

I'm not trying to blame Github though, they're awesome!

Seems to be one of the most severe Github service interruptions I've ever encountered. I can't even pull up the unauthenticated home page. I can't push, can't pull, can't do anything.

in other news, it must really suck to be github where your service being down is front page HN news.

Github was down so I took a break at work to read some Hacker News. "Ooh 3D file diffs, cool!" Click the link to read about the new feature, and dammit it's down too because the blog is hosted on github.com!
