Check github status from the command line
# GitHub provides a simple json api for it's status updates (status.github.com). jq is a very nice command line json parser http://stedolan.github.io/jq/.
# Combine the two, and you have a nifty GitHub status check, right from the command line!
# Add the following alias to your .bashrc or .zshrc; rename as you wish
ghs='curl https://status.github.com/api/last-message.json | jq .'
