alt Hacker NewsWhy doesn't https://www.githubstatus.com reflect this accurately?
I usually check this and then doubt my network might be at fault if they don't show outages.

Yes githubstatus shows all OK for Europe, where I am, but when trying to open the Web page of a repository I receive:
503 Service Unavailable
No server is available to handle this request.➕ show 1 reply

I think that page only displays outages if some manager at GitHub decides it is "sufficiently major" to display there.
GitHub has outages all the time without that page showing anything.
Another comment pointed to a third party alternative which is more accurate – https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/ – but that alternative isn't showing an outage right now either, since I believe it is being fed by GitHub.com's incident data.
