They also did a notification when you tried to push:

ERROR: Hi andrewjshults, it's GitHub. We're doing an SSH key audit. Please visit https://github.com/settings/ssh/audit/<removed>; to approve this key so we know it's safe. Fingerprint: <removed> fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

A little weird to see when you're doing a push but good that they put it in there. Their email got flagged as bulk in gmail so until I saw this I didn't know they were doing the audit.

I think this was handled very badly. This broke alot of automated jobs for many people. The email actually arrived after some of our automated jobs had stopped running. There should have been an advanced warning that such an audit would take place. I'm glad we had monitoring on our automations, but many people won't have those and might still be unaware that they are not running until they authorize their keys.


AND when you tried to pull, which broke my current project's build. First time I've seen current news directly affect my work...
