And this is why I use Google Code: supports git and is more reliable than Github.

It's a shame that they don't offer a paid service for closed-source software.

Where do you live, under a rock? Of course they offer paid service for closed-source software.
I'm assuming by "they" he was referring to Google Code. (Wishing that Google Code offered a paid service.)
Indeed. Not only do they offer a paid service and private repos, but they offer a paid self-host version as well.
Were there any issues with Github prior to this? I don't recall any aws-like pattern. But I might have just missed it.
Github is awesome, but yeah, they've been having lots of outages for a while now. A deploy based on a git fetch && git reset from Github might not be a good thing.
A few. They lost a server about 10 days ago which took down a few repos including some gists. All in its been very stable.
