GitHub Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Pavel Buchta (@thepavelbuchta) reported@theo The problem is that half the software I use only has a github integration :/
-
Beautiful (@Random_Desiress) reportedSo its down to Claude vs GitHub Copilot, to see who angers users the most !!
-
KDirectorate (@KDirectorate) reportedSo the way Github Copilot works is you pay for AI credits, then they get to decide how much AI you get for those credits and can change that amount while you still hold the credits you bought. Fantastic system. I wish I'd thought of it. I have a trouble screwing customers though so it probably wouldn't have worked out if I did.
-
Cristiano Bianchi (@CyberCR7SBI) reported@GergelyOrosz Granted GitHub having some frequently terrible uptime metrics as of late (MicroSlop!)….I am not entirely sure this is a bug, I believe this is a feature. There are likely so many AI PR’s that it was easier for them to just let the PR’s break instead of be reliable uptime-wise
-
Justin Schroeder (@jpschroeder) reported@svgmzr "Working" is a low bar (admittedly one github isn't clearing right now) — but i dont think its fair to say github's core value is the hosting. It's the single place where code lives. Everyone in the industry knows how to use the platform, how it works, where things are, how to track issues, file bugs, submit PRs, monitor for releases, evaluate projects (stars help despite their abuse too) — these are fruits of centralization I'm not eager to throw away.
-
Quinn Slack (@sqs) reported@brianchew @thorstenball Our (Amp's) code is on GitHub, but we almost never go to GitHub. We don't use issues, we don't use PRs, and we use GitHub Actions but usually the agent looks at the CI logs not us (or we use the `gh` CLI). We're not alone there. So a GH replacement must be something different.
-
luna (@ImLunaHey) reportedanyone know why @plainsupport suggests their new js sdk requires node 25+? i'd ask on github but they have issues disabled for some reason..
-
Mohammed Nafees (@mnafees) reported@github cool, now go fix your infra
-
nick (@herbieblunt) reportedits funny that github had a really solid reputation and then microsoft bought them and **** has gone completely down the drain
-
JH Trader (@JoshExile82) reported@thsottiaux @SIGKITTEN Did you guys fix the conversations and projects vanishing from Codex Sidebar after restart. Still can't access my projects or conversations unless I search for them. Saw some github stuff about it too
-
Ayush (@ayuszzzz) reported@RhysSullivan Daam GitHub is down now npm too what the hell happening
-
Marc-André Moreau (@awakecoding) reported@SamErde @github Direct link to pull requests still work, but the listing is broken right now
-
Hari (@hrkrshnn) reportedPeople make fun of GitHub's performance issues, but if they actually manage to make GitHub scale to handle the billion commits being made by agents every minute, nobody will be able to catch up.
-
管震震 Zhenzhen Guan (@zzgo_sh) reportedI encountered this issue as well. After troubleshooting, it is highly likely caused by the GitHub app connected to the Codex app and ChatGPT. I resolved the issue by disconnecting them in both places: [codex app - plugins - github - remove from codex] and [chatgpt[.]com - apps - github - disconnect].
-
GITBAGS (@0xgitbags) reportedThe current funding options do not fix this. GitHub Sponsors is a tip jar. Open Collective is still donation-based. Bounties turn long-term maintenance into piecework. Corporate sponsorship only reaches the most visible projects. They all rely on generosity. Generosity does not scale.
-
Emuesiri.dev(siri) (@siri_dev04) reportedWhy? GitHub say Copilot don big pass just "autocomplete." E don become Agent. To run code across repos dey cost them plenty money for server. Them say e no fair make person wey ask one question pay same thing with person wey make AI code for 2 hours. The "free food" don finish.
-
Djani (@DjaniWhaleSkul) reportedI could really crash out on Claude these last few days. I can’t believe how many timeouts I’ve been getting since the recent changes. I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m doing simple tasks like updating my wiki with new changes from GitHub. @ClaudeDevs you should really look into this. I checked Reddit and others are seeing the same issues. I don’t even care that my weekly usage is almost gone. I’ll switch to Codex for the next few days, but it doesn’t make building any easier. We still have a long way to go.

Don Montegarza (@aiDidThisToo) reported@satyanadella @jeffhollan fix github
-
Wise (@trikcode) reportedfinally someone fixed the 'GitHub star graveyard' problem you paste a GitHub repo and it becomes a working agent?
-
tokenrip (@tokenrip_) reported@om_patel5 The skill is 4 lines because the insight is simple: ask before you build. The fact that this needs to be a viral GitHub repo tells you how broken the defaults are.
-
Tom Cox (@tomcoxcodes) reportedLast year when i had LLMs create github issues sometimes the formatting was broken.. it was not terrible but things like missing carriage returns.. formatting characters partially added etc could make the issue text hard to read. This year they detect formatting issues automatically and fix it. It is a minor detail but yet another measure of how much better the models have gotten.
-
a Statement of Fact (@fringeaggressor) reported@wiffysock They should focus on restarting the Github server his cousin Patel broke last week. Would be more useful for everybody concerned.
-
Ville Säävuori (@uninen) reportedMy two main obstacles of shipping nowadays: 1) GitHub actions are down, or 2) It's the latter part of the month and I've run out of CI minutes of my GH sub

marmadt (@marmadt62586) reportedSo lots of $MSFT news. 1) Github copilot is moving towards usage based billing. aka they cannot continue to subsidize their only successful half decent ai offering. 2) Break up with Open AI- obviously Sam Altman has been itching to get out of the deal, but $MSFT may be wanting to cool down the hype on Open AI and hedge it's bets. Satya even in this era of cretinous greedy execs comes across more old school and not be afraid to talk down the hype. 3) Accenture announcement days before earnings is a defensive move to strengthen their AI adoption narrative as market gets increasingly suspicious. not to mention the wsj piece about open ai revenue and Deep seek cost cutting. Add these all together and the timing - this might mark a short term top in the AI trade. Looking for a 4-5% pull back in the next few weeks. $AMD $NVDA

Timur Gok (@timatbyteful) reportedBrowser Use published a proper 2026 web scraping guide this week. Worth reading if you're building anything that touches the open web. The stealth benchmark is the most useful part. Across 71 sites protected by Cloudflare, Akamai, PerimeterX, and Datadome, Browser Use Cloud hit 81% success. Browserbase came in at 42%. The gap between providers is not marginal anymore. If you're picking infrastructure based on price alone, that gap shows up quickly in production. The distinction between basic and interactive scraping is also framed well. Basic scraping is increasingly commoditised. The data worth having in 2026 tends to sit behind login walls, search interfaces, and multi-step flows that require actual browser interaction. Browser Use's open source library at 83k GitHub stars suggests developers building serious pipelines have already worked this out. One finding I hadn't thought much about: Cloudflare's Browser Rendering tool intentionally identifies itself as bot traffic. Which means it gets blocked on virtually any protected site. Cheap but limited to targets with no anti-bot at all. The guide also covers where AI fits into the scraping stack. Extraction, code generation, self-healing selectors. Less about replacing the infrastructure layer and more about reducing the maintenance burden on top of it.

Cams Cream Cheese (@CamsCreamCheese) reported@theo Hey @grok, fix github. Make no mistakes
-
Don Montegarza (@aiDidThisToo) reported@steipete @satyanadella please fix github
-
Thorsten Ball (@thorstenball) reported@mikker Yeah, but... How does one feel working at GitHub Next right now? You're thinking about the future while the platform that you'll want to build on is burning down?
-
Kevin Bailey (@kevinbailey25) reported@BrooksLybrand Sadly GitHub is always down now :( AI is murdering all infrastructure

Ákos Fabó (@AkosFabo) reported@boltdotnew This is great but please guys fix Bolt's github import/synch state. This is the second time I log onto Bolt and asking me to connect to my Github. Yesterday it was working fine, synching branch and now I login and disconnected and doesnt auto synch to branch
