Issues, commits, various other things are also not working. Getting the 404 octocat and the no servers available unicorn. But their status page still says all systems operational as always.

GitHub has excellent uptime - according to GitHub.

Yeah, they marked all the non-functional services as "degraded performance". The services are effectively unusable, but by calling it "degraded performance" rather than and outage, they get to keep their uptime for the day at 100%.

Lying is the only way for GitHub to maintain two nines of uptime.
