I recently discovered another huge dependency I have when coding though : StackOverflow. That's going to be a lot harder to replace though...

PS: Yes, I realize the irony in using a github link here...
You can (and many websites which do) support multiple auth providers such as Facebook, Twitter, GitHub etc. If you bind your account to multiple of these providers, you can mitigate this risk to a large extent.
Remember that 'the cloud' just means 'someone else's computers' so you are subject to their infrastructure management practices and uptime guarantees (or lack thereof).
I also guess hundreds of persons are wondering if the commit they just pushed killed github's servers.
It's still down. :(
Hard part appears to be finding one that does an organisation account well, not just a user.
What are other people here actually using?
It backs up everything GitHub publishes about the repository,
including branches, tags, other forks, issues, comments, wikis,
milestones, pull requests, watchers, and stars.
edit: "github-backup does not log into GitHub, so it cannot backup private repositories." So, looks like that won't do it for us, sorry :-(
Service is recovering and we are continuing to monitor.
by the way, why the status from July 15, 2016 to July 21, 2016 is red ?
- offline issue management (bugs on a plane)
- issues associated with branches
- grep, awk, ack, sed
- all of the above, available to git hook scripts
The only thing he holding me back, is that I really want to get this right. This needs to become a standard, not "Dan's weird repo that no one understands".

I'm sure there are but how many people would actually have been affected by this specific outage which only seemed to affect the web front end?
Saw that Syncthing had an update for the desktop-version and wanted to check that the Android-client was on roughly the same version number, so that the protocols wouldn't be incompatible.
And because GitHub was down, I couldn't check the changelog, meaning that I had to go to such crazy measures as opening the Syncthing-app to check what protocol-version it displayed, which turned out to be a hundred times quicker than rustling through some changelog, but uh, something something, ramble ramble.

But this is seriously not a good time. Using gh-pages, hard deadline tomorrow morning.
At the very least I need URLs for my stuff so I can put them in things I'm writing. But I need to check github to find them.
Basically, every 3rd thing I looked up in the last 20min was hosted on github.
