My pushing was failing for reasons I hadn't seen before. I then tried my sanity check of `ssh git@github.com` (I think I'm supposed to throw a -t flag there, but never care to), and that worked.

But yes ssh pushing was down, was my first clue.

My work laptop had just been rebooted (it froze...) and the CPU was pegged by security software doing a scan (insert :clown: emoji), so I just wandered over to HN and learned of the outage at that point :)

SSH is as decentralized as git - just push to your own server? No problem.

Well sure but you can't get any collaborators commits that were only pushed to GitHub before it went down.

Well you can with some effort. But there's certainly some inconvenience.

SSH works fine for me. I'm using it right now. Just not to GitHub!
