But thanks to the magic of DVCS, everybody can still hack :-)

Github has been so reliable for me that their website was the last place I looked! When I saw:

   Permission denied (publickey).
   fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
my first response was to check that ~/.ssh was unmolested.

Even the status page is intermittently down ("too many requests on the app backlog"), poor Heroku.

Having a 30 second automatic refresh on the status page can't help.

(Edit: Also, my Heroku apps are fine. Makes me feel a bit more secure about multi-tenant hosting.)

Yeah. It's definitely not a heroku issue. We were configured to run on a single backend. It's since been increased and should be better now.

The website is still intermittent, but as of now command line access seems to be fully operational.

"from a few days ago" - seriously?

"GitHub Pages config backup", not pages themselves (the way I understand it at least).

They probably briefly overlooked a problem while busy drinking whiskey and opening doors for ladies. As soon as the issue came to light, someone kicked the server with their hard shoe and brought it back online.
