What does a unicorn image on Github.com mean?

Question

I went to view my repository on Github.com and was presented with a giant pink unicorn and a message saying:

No server is currently available to service your request.

Does this mean something is wrong with my repository or account? Have I made in error in my repository?

If not, what's the issue?

Answer 1

It means GitHub is down. It means you can't use GitHub any more. See https://status.github.com/.

I guess you can bask it the unicorn's glory or something? Other than that, you can do pretty much whatever you like.

One thing that also isn't down is https://developer.github.com/.

Answer 2

It means that github is down for some reason.
