It's utterly unreliable. I laughed when I read the title. We moved our company to self hosted Forgejo a while ago and literally the day after, there was a major disruption on GitHub. Their service also isn't that great even when it works. We decided to move because they abrupt ly disabled all our LFS access without any prior warning causing a private outage for our developers. Fun!
After a week ago [0] a week before that [1] and again a few days before that [2] with it is no wonder that each time GitHub falls over, confidence in the platform is rapidly going away.
Sounds like it is once again a great time to self host, as predicted 6 years ago. [3]
2-3 9's of availability on most services shown on their status page (and these are always generous). For a platform that wants to be the industry standard CI/CD platform, there is no way you can justify that.
