Happy Friday afternoon!

Oh my good gravy it IS Friday. What the heck happened to the week?!
LesZedCB
should I ship today??

Always ship on Friday afternoon. That way, you can rest easy all weekend knowing whatever task you thought you were going to have to do on Monday will be off your plate replaced by something you don't know about yet. Enjoy your weekend!

There I was thinking it was just my code that was gone

Same thing’s happening in the UK, none of the repositories load.

Oh thank god, it's not just me. HN-the-Internet's-official-status-page saves the day again.

10 minutes ago, I saw that there were no posts on hackernews, so I thought something was up with me. 10 minutes later, I am vindicated

They have been having more and more issues lately. It's a productivity killer

Im relieved to see this here on HN. I nearly had a heart attack there.

Looks like issues with a bunch of services on their status page.

Friday afternoon deployment?

I almost got a heart attack. I was pushing to a branch when:

    ERROR: Repository not found.
    fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Me too! Scared the crap out of me.

Yep, thought I had been fired when I couldn't access the repo anymore lol

I was editing a wiki page, and the UI started telling me that someone else had edited the page and that I should refresh (refreshing resulted in the same message in short order). I'm the only maintainer!

I thought our account was hacked or deleted!!

I was worried that a public repo I was checking out had been deleted
PokestarFan
And it's back?

Edit: Randomly worked but is now broken again

Can confirm, but it seems to be sporadic. Having said that its enough to stop me from doing what I need to do.

Time for enterprise folks to have your decennial conversation about having a DR strategy for your source control!

Someone in IT is immediately asking that someone who never cleans up their local branches bring their laptop over to make a complete backup

This is intermittent for me.

Cue my immediate layoff panic when I can't access any company repos. Glad it's everything!

edit: github is working again for me

Yeah thought I was fired and could start my long holiday. But this just means I have a excuse to start my weekend early.
phkahler
Intermittently working, or back up for me.

Edit: Intermittent

GitHub projects is so bad I thought they had just deleted my project... again.

Projects were at a real sweet-spot a couple years back. Milestones were great, between that and tags you could do everything you really needed to without a bunch of time-wasting fake-productive crap getting in the way like they do on "full featured" task trackers. Easy to navigate, easy to use, hard to lose stuff (am I the only one who's constantly losing stuff in other task tracking systems?)

Not that I was ever successful in getting anyone other than programmers to use it, though. Which I guess is why they made it worse, to try to court the kind of people who like Jira and Asana and Azure Devops (what a terrible name) and all that junk.
