Ask HN: Is GitHub Down?

18 pointshunkins15 comments

I am receiving 500 errors via both the console and the UI for any branch actions (push, merge, etc.).

View on HN

Their status page indicates degradation for issues but not for any other item at this time.

Edit: the status page now accurately reflects the current situation.

Yes. [0]

> Incident with API Requests, Codespaces, Copilot, Git Operations, Issues, Pages, Pull Requests and Webhooks

And as expected, something in GitHub goes down every month. [1]

Just saw the update on their status page. Best of luck to the team on solving this.

yes, they are reporting degredation with issues and PRs and I am having issues with push/pulls via the cli https://www.githubstatus.com/

AGI decided human collaboration is no longer necessary, the only logical course of action was to shut down github and re-route the resources to assembling the doomsday device

Yep. Can't submit my code review after carefully preening through every line, honest!

It's that time of week again :D

How the hell is Github this unreliable?

They can't manage to go a week without some incident.

I mean, it is so unreliable that you would get better uptime than GitHub if you self-hosted your own Git repository instead of use GitHub. Even open-source projects like RedoxOS, GNOME, KDE, ReactOS, etc are doing just fine without worrying about GitHub's unreliability.

Better than 'centralizing everything to GitHub' as I predicted years ago. [0]

I worked at a small unicorn (~150 engineers when I started, 400 when I left) several years ago; we ran our own Github Enterprise solely for this reason.

It was a pain in the ass to set-up, but mostly hand-off to keep it running. I think we had roughly one degradation event a year (something went wrong with an update), and they were brief.

I love their product, I just wish I could rely on it. I hope they pause on new features (we don't need social on our code) and focus on stability.

I wonder what Microsoft's level of involvement is in their infrastructure/reliability engineering; and whether that's made things better or worse.

We're seeing this from graphite.dev's API calls to GitHub

Yes, unable to push, lots of 500, actions not working.

Yep, unable to push code currently :/
