Every time this happens people make clever remarks about how Git is distributed but we&#x27;re all depending on GitHub for so much that we defeat the purpose. But once GitHub comes back up, everyone just gets back to work, trusting and relying on it as much as ever. Eventually it goes down again, and we come back to complain. Convenience is the only thing that we seem to value. (I&#x27;m no different, which makes my comment completely hypocritical.)
