We're now in the fourth day of the DDoS:https://twitter.com/githubstatus/status/582133571042803712
Except for a 7 minute minor outage earlier today when the DDoS changed tactics, Github is still going strong.
What I think would be effective in the long term would to have Github appeal to all of the programmers on Github to contribute to anti-censorship/anti-DDoS projects. With some of the most talented programmers out there, some serious work could get done on that front.

At this point, it's also looking more and more likely that the Chinese government is behind it. If you're a company and you can't stop an DDoS coming from your equipment after four days, then you're either hiring incompetent people or being forced to ignore it.

The issue is where do you attack? All of their public IPs? And if it is the Chinese government, they could just have another Chinese company continue the attack.
