On: DDoS attack on GitHub has stopped? Status is green...

Not by a long-shot; this was reported as a big deal (and I'd love to have more insight and data available), but this kind of thing has been going on for many years.

Ask your local DNS admin for some war stories. :-)

It also gained notoriety because it seemed like an attempt by a Chinese actor (possibly the PRC) to force Github to take down two repositories that helped to circumvent the Great Firewall.

Github itself has weathered DDoS attacks before, but I'm not sure how different this attack was in scale.

https://github.com/blog/1981-large-scale-ddos-attack-on-gith... explicitly states that "We are currently experiencing the largest DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack in github.com's history".
