I'm also unable to access the two repos that were apparently the target of the PRC's ire: https://github.com/cn-nytimes and https://github.com/greatfire

Is this simply a temporary precautionary measure because of the initial JS DDOS, or has GitHub permanently taken those two repos down?

If it's the latter, then I'm really disappointed and it would seem the PRC was able to get what it wanted.

Interestingly, GitHub seem's to be allowing logged-in users to access those pages, but using a incongnito tab shows unicorns. I'm guessing they've just disabled access for unauthenticated requests.
Aha, you're right! Same behavior for me.
Both repos are still up and accessible from my end (India).
They're there for me (I'm in the US-midwest.)
