Status: Investigating reports of connectivity issues

And their status page has an unbalanced parenthesis [0]. I send their support an email about that. (There is also another on the messages page that I did include in the mail).<p>It&#x27;s quite a silly thing to complain about, but I imagine other software engineers also get slightly stressed by seeing an unbalanced paren!<p>[0]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;cypsCvx.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;cypsCvx.png</a>

Queue obtuse comment about how this is no big deal because git is distributed source control, ignoring the fact that Github != git and that issues&#x2F;PRs&#x2F;etc are pretty important.

This is the second major outage of GH this summer. I&#x27;m fearing we should all become less dependent on this single service for bug reporting, merging, etc. and instead leverage the decentralized power of Git to host on a variety of platforms. That way if one is out, you just fall back to another.<p>Does anyone know of libraries that can sync at least the filed issues between GitHub and GitLab or Bitbucket in near real time? That&#x27;s the main thing from GitHub that I&#x27;m truly missing when there&#x27;s an outage.

For people using GCP, this could be a viable contingency: Mirroring GitHub in GCP Cloud Source Repository <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloud.google.com&#x2F;source-repositories&#x2F;docs&#x2F;connecting-hosted-repositories" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloud.google.com&#x2F;source-repositories&#x2F;docs&#x2F;connecting...</a>

Reminder to avoid the github monoculture and move to other git providers as a backup.<p>Gitlab is open source and has auto-pull from github

I&#x27;m sure this is related to the eclipse somehow.

So how many new installs does GitLab[1] get every time GitHub goes down?<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;about.gitlab.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;about.gitlab.com&#x2F;</a>

Does github report RCAs for outages to the public? I&#x27;m wondering if these outages are related to their migration to kubernetes. Either way I&#x27;d love to learn what&#x27;s going on and how they resolve these incidents. There&#x27;s a lot to learn and I find these things super valuable.

Such an outage reminds us all how much we rely on GitHub just working. My &#x27;flow&#x27; was suddenly interrupted because I couldn&#x27;t continue my search for a specific PHP package. Luckily the workday is nearly over in the CET time zone so the impact on my productivity is minimal.

It appears to be down only for some regions.

It&#x27;s always been working from Poland from what I could tell. Is this possible?

I was playing with tails and thought github just didn&#x27;t allow tor usage. Github&#x27;s service record is so good that I didn&#x27;t even stop to consider this might be a technical problem with Github.
