GitHub’s really fucked today

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Practically unusable for large parts of the day. Becoming a real annoyance. Looks like their move to Rackspace is not a moment too soon. If I was paying for this, I would not be happy.

More Github failures

Output from my trusty svn_up script, which also pulls git:

Does anyone else think that it is not really acceptable for a large number of important source repositories to just go down at the drop of a hat?

UPDATE: from github.wordpress.com:

We’ve taken the site down for approximately 3 hours while we’re upgrading our servers.

THREE HOURS??!!!

Github becoming more unreliable

Github down again

Gee, I guess centralising source control around a single website might have some downsides after all.
