It's interesting to me to see all the services that depend on or integrate with GitHub in some way, as they all have problems at times like this.
My side project https://statusgator.com https://statusgator.com shows currently a dozen different services all posting warnings or down notices on their status pages. It's mostly CI services and the like, all which break in some way when GitHub is down.

- cm3 11y agoIt's a fight against windmills, unfortunately. Anytime someone brings this up with some language's package manager, they are dismissed and the issue is WONTFIX'ed. Most even go so far to misuse git repos for the package index.
- WillAbides 11y agoWhy shouldn't your CI get the source code it's building from GitHub?
- TeMPOraL 11y agoIt should, but only once. Redownloading the same sources over and over and over again is a stupid waste.
