GitHub Slack Integration Planned Maintenance

To improve the scale and reliability of the GitHub and Slack integration, we are moving it to a new data center. The move is scheduled for Saturday, March 14, 2020 at 4 PM (Pacific) and will take between 30-60 minutes.

During the move, slash commands (like /github subscribe), link previews (unfurls), and notifications will not be available in Slack. No other GitHub.com services will be impacted.

If we are unable to fully complete the move during this time, we will resume it on Sunday, March 15, 2020 at 4 PM (Pacific).

Thank you for your understanding as we work to improve the integration between GitHub and Slack.

GitHub CLI 0.6 was just released with various bug fixes, improvements, and support for four new commands:

  • gh repo clone – clone a repository locally
  • gh repo create – create a new repository
  • gh repo fork – create a fork of a repository
  • gh repo view – view a repository in the browser
