GitHub Faces 'Major Service Outage' [Update] (github.com)

Posted by msmash on from the outage-report dept.

Code repository GitHub is facing a major service outage, it said moments ago. Earlier today, the company said it was facing a minor service outage. The downtime comes less than two weeks after it was facing another "minor service outage," which lasted for several hours. The cause for today's disruption remains unknown. The open source company's Twitter feed suggests it has faced several issues over the past few months.

Update: GitHub reports all the services are now operational.

    People who do real work trust Microsoft's Team Foundation Server to get their work done instead of stupid Linux git.

      I thought this was some kind of funny joke, but I looked it up, and Microsoft really has a product named Team Foundation Server--and it even embraces git! (Of course they extended it with their own version control system that offers additional functionality.) I had to clutch my side to keep from falling off of my chair. This must mean that there are still people out there who believe Microsoft has mended its ways! "C'mon baby, I love you so much, I swear I won't beat you up this time, I know I said that every time for the last three decades, but this time I've really changed--I swear."
