On: Tell HN: GitHub is down again

Ah! I am brand new to learning flutter and was trying to change the Flutter channel with the command:

flutter channel master

And it kept failing with:

------

git: remote: Internal Server Error.

git: remote:

git: fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git/': The requested URL returned error: 500

Switching channels failed with error code 128.

------

thought I was doing something wrong and spent some time troubleshooting.

"internal server error" and "error: 500" are EXTREMELY strong clues that the problem is server-side.

there aren't a lot of HTTP error codes, and it's worth remembering the most common ones, like the 200, 300, 400 series and 500 itself. will help you troubleshooting later.
