Has anybody made a product to help you cope with GitHub outages?

What would be great is a product that is specifically designed to help you deal with a GitHub outage. Oh, GitHub is down? Flip this switch and your developers can somehow keep working.

I think a lot of companies would pay for this.

I and the teams I work with don't come to a stop when GitHub goes down. We can continue to write code, test, commit, review code. You'll have to give more details describing how a GitHub outage prevents developers working.

If you have a development process that halts if GitHub, or any other external service that goes down now and then, rework your process to remove the fragile dependency.

Is github being down a problem because of source control related things or because of actions/workflows associated with commits?
