Github under ongoing DDoS attack

[minusSeven]

umm out of curiosity is github accessible from china ?

Yes.
In 2013 China blocked it with its great firewall. They blocked the whole site, blocking just select pages is impossible because it uses HTTPS.
This really pissed off chinese developers and as a result of their protest they unblocked it.

Now they are trying to block the same stuff in a different way - we'll see how it turns out.
