Mitchell Hashimoto had a blog post a few months ago talking about him moving off of GitHub: https://mitchellh.com/writing/ghostty-leaving-github

This is a man who's spent a significant portion of every day for the last 15 years on GitHub.

To offer a data point (not a tribalist argument): GitHub Actions being down this often is still less expensive than the cost of switching everything somewhere else. Would rather have my team walk away from the PRs and do other tasks than have engineering effort, meetings, design pages, scheduling, etc. for switching over.

This is annoying and I'm here because it's down. But it would have to be far worse to come close to actually being worth changing.

GHA still beats Circle CI or trying to run your own Jenkins - even with all the downtime. I'd move in a heartbeat if there were good alternatives.

Forgejo selfhosted for a few months now. Its all good and cost nothing.

Our deployments are triggered by GitHub Actions, and it is a pain to deploy without it (specifically collecting the credentials and putting them into variables the shell will read).

This is multiple times this month that this has been a problem.

Has GitHub completed it's internal migration to Azure yet? Or is it still ongoing? None of our devs want to switch away from GH, but we will have to at this point.

What would you guys recommend as an alternative? Both hosted and/or self hosted

I would conjecture that the long tail of GH users are not dependent on any of the CI stuff in the first place.

I seriously want to. I'm just waiting for the day where I have enough extra energy to simply bite the bullet and do it.

To what? That’s kind of the problem.

how hard could it be these days for a mid to large size eng company to have their own gitlab/hub type solution hosted in aws

Until someone makes a better PR experience you guys are stuck with GitHub.

Nobody cares about ATProto or whether your commits are a damn NFT or some bs just literally improve upon the experience.

That’s it.

It’s as if no company is focusing on the product experience or anybody’s experience anymore. It’s all ooo look what I got I got this I can do that too me me me but nobody will ever buy that.

Say what you want about huge companies like Microsoft or Walmart but they spend a lot of energy understanding the human experience to sell products and less on their own perceived self-aggrandizement.

GitHub is the best version control online and it’s not even close.

My company moved to GH Actions 6 months ago even after I pushed back with a "Are you sure given their reliability issues of late?"

Now I'm stuck twiddling my thumbs with PR checks stuck/failing...
