GitHub公司确认该公司主要服务中断，因为公司所有的业务正在进行一轮系统维护

其实在本周五，GitHub就默默进行了计划中的一些维护工作，但是不管公司怎么做保护措施，github网站还是会出现一些问题.在周六的时候，github公司就直接宣布该公司产品的主要业务将会中断一段时间。

打开网站GitHub status page， 网站日志显示说从昨天开始，该公司的相关业务就开始出现了一些问题。那之后，该公司直接关闭了github.com，并且网站的使用者也不能对自己的项目进行更新了。（我们将继续关注该站的日志，如果你想看到最新的说明，请不停的刷新该网页）

日志文件：
13:00 UTC: We are beginning our scheduled maintenance. We do not expect this to have visible impact to customers, but will update status if that changes.
13:17 UTC: We are seeing unicorns related to the scheduled maintenance. We are investigating.
14:03 UTC: We have stabilized the network but with reduced redundancy. We are working through restoring full redundancy.
16:05 UTC: The network continues to be stable, though operating with reduced redundancy. We continue to work with our network manufacturer to restore full redundancy.
18:06 UTC: The site continues to operate normally but at reduced redundancy while we investigate the root cause of the incident this morning. We will leave the status at yellow until we have restored full redundancy.
23:20 UTC: We are investigating unicorns and repo access problems.
23:43 UTC: A number of repositories are currently unavailable as we diagnose some network problems.
0:12 UTC: We’ve disabled GitHub.com and Gists while we continue to resolve the network problems.
2:06 UTC: Our network has been stable for some time, but weve chosen to remain in maintenance mode while we continue to restore internal services. We are making good progress and will post additional updates as we have more information available

该公司还是其公司twitter上对出现的问题进行了说明。

GitHub.com and Gist are down for maintenance while we investigate problems in our network. Please visit status.github.com.
