Github is Down - Hackdot

For those who use Github as their primary origin server AND perform deploys via git, do you have redundancy measures in place to enable you to keep pushing code even during these outages?

We stopped deploying with git as a result. We package up our code into S3, and download it to our images. Its also much much faster than GitHub.

If you use a hosted Continuous Delivery system like https://circleci.com (which is my company), it's really easy to do.

Not all outages affect git. Several major downtimes were on the HTTP-side only, and git push/deploy worked for us.

bitbucket.org is not bad.

We do not. I'd be interested in hearing suggestions on how.

Having a bitbucket mirror isn't a bad idea. They have free private repos for up to 5 users, so if you just have an admin and the deploy user on there you can get redundancy for "free". Just have to keep it in sync, but that shouldn't be too hard with DVCS and everyone having a local copy.

We use Gitolite, it's not totally amazing, but it works.
