This morning, GitHub's pristine layout vanished off of the repository, in what looks like a miss on the company's part in renewing an SSL certificate.
The expired certificate prevented numerous resources like images, JavaScript, and CSS stylesheets from correctly loading on GitHub.
Siddki provided a screenshot of the SSL certificate issued to GitHub's CDN, github.
As confirmed by BleepingComputer, a new certificate has been installed today on the github.
While renewing an expired SSL certificate is an easy task, the expirations do cause outages that could have been entirely preventable through adequate planning.
