I'm learning to love git. How awesome is it to be able to continue committing, branching and all that locally even when the server goes down?
I was in the middle of forking a ruby gem... I really hope it wasn't me that took it down! The second after it finished the site went down...
I'm considering using GitHub as the primary (or only) single sign-on for my new web service. Even with the occasional downtime, I still think it's a great choice for hacker-related web services. I'd rather take my service offline every few months than make people remember yet-another-password.
Apparently it's due to DDOS:

YouTube also appears down at the moment. Coincidental?
Its a conspiracy - went to Youtube to waste time until Github resolved itself...
Clearly HFT and software-patents are to blame.

Always nice to know it's not just you.
Ho hum. Some HN distraction time for me then!
EDIT: Youtube too? Checked on http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/youtube.com also
