Submission + - Linux kernel moves to Github (lkml.org)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: Linus Torvalds has announced that he will be distributing the Linux kernel via Github until kernel.org servers are fully operational following the recent server compromise.

'But I'm sure it'd work for talking about government secrets and other spy stuff, too.'"
