> No github means no work for me and I am sure a lot of you Out of curiosity, is bitbucket blocked? If not, why not use them as a mirror and interact that way until github is available? (I thought the whole point of DVCS was that your repo wasn't centralized)

Do you have a github repo ? If your release and branching is based on Git and all the work you did resides there, it becomes difficult to switch horses mid stream. If your open source contributors and have accept pull requests then the history gets lost. Repo isn't centralized, its distributed amongst Github not across systems (Github to Bitbucket or Cloudforge etc.)

  You can use bitbucket with git. As far as the repo is concerned, all you need to do is change the remote urls. I understand if there are post-commit hooks that depend on github integration and bitbucket integration is not available.

  It's not difficult to switch horses whatsoever. In fact, you could add a bitbucket repo in a matter of seconds and use it alongside github. Or in place of. Pull requests are merges. The history lives in the repo.

git itself is distributed. However, GitHub has more or less broken that model in the sense that many rely upon Github's web-based features for workflow. Additional, a number of processes (CI, deployment, static analysis, etc) rely upon Github's webhooks.

I personally use bitbucket for my repos, yet I would not want to loose access to github. GitHub has become more than a DVCS: Loads of relevant Open Source projects are hosted there. If I want to contribute - or even browse issues - I need access to GitHub. Same goes for discovery. Also, lot's of tutorials will provide their example project on GitHub. Plus, GitHub both hosts a fair amount of static pages of Open Source projects and individuals, plus some blogs/tutorials embed gists when the use code samples.
