And notably, that page makes this post's title inaccurate. As of this morning, it says `90.21% uptime`, which is a _single_ 9, not 3 (though that's for the platform as a whole, no individual component appears to achieve three 9s.)

Note that it gets 90% largely off Copilot going down and Actions not working. Actual git has 98.98%, which is still just one 9 but a lot better.

True! Technically even 9.99% would be three nines!

Too bad they didn't find an irrational number, could have got infinite nines.

As someone who was impacted by GitHub's git outage in late February, which caused us to cancel a feature release, I am more sensitive to the availability of their git service, than their chatbot.

If all I want is actual git, I’m pretty sure I could get much much more than 98.98% uptime. The value of GitHub is actions, issues, PRs. To me, if actions is down GitHub is down

Hey! At least that single 9 is in the ten's place. /sarcastic
