    GitHub outage, a haiku🕊 GitHub is down now. How will I ever start work? Time to take a nap.

  • Realrawr Joe Carter (@Realrawr) reported

    @davidmikucki @github Nope. Down forever.

  • tomkXY Tom Kelly ケリー・トム (@tomkXY) reported

    @tomelliottnz @github Working for me. Thankfully because I woke up early to push private report before our server is down.

  • GeekKingCloud Ian Howarth (@GeekKingCloud) reported

    When GitHub goes down the whole world stops

  • jasondlee Jason Lee (@jasondlee) reported

    What we need is a VCS that continues to work when the "central" server is down... #github

  • ignu Leonard Smith (@ignu) reported

    @jamie_gaskins One time Github was down and I suggested to a coworker that they could clone the repo from me and they looked at me like I was possessed by a demon.

  • zeuxcg Arseny Kapoulkine (@zeuxcg) reported

    @andy_kelley @github I'm also tired of people abusing the issues to ask questions across many projects. I tried various forms of templating but nothing solved this. We need some way to more reliably funnel people into Discussions/Discord but it feels like it's not just a UX issue, but also social :(

  • thebcbrian Brian Bartholomew (@thebcbrian) reported

    @github after your recent outage we had to change cache keys for every new build in our actions to get our build updating. Maybe it broke during the process, hopefully not a result from the fix.

  • pasiphae_goals Loch Nessa Monster🌸 (@pasiphae_goals) reported

    GitHub outage is the white collar equivalent of a snow day

  • jasongfleischer all your base are belong to (@jasongfleischer) reported

    @choldgraf There are millions of people 🤯 right now. But I am currently using GitHub to teach intro data science with 470 students submitting their project proposals via GH and receiving proposal feedback via issues. Right in the middle of grading. Bit stressful rn

  • furter_samuel Samuel Furter (@furter_samuel) reported

    @mattsse_ is it even a DApp if the project development is stopped when github is down? (analogy to discord+dao) höhöhö

  • VickerySec Chris Vickery (@VickerySec) reported

    GitHub is having issues currently. It's not just you.

  • AjibabiDunsin Dun$in™ (@AjibabiDunsin) reported

    So Github is down#github

  • nirvdrum Kevin Menard (@nirvdrum) reported

    @zapnap After implementing social login, I can't bring myself to use it. E.g., logging in w/ GitHub gives the site access to all of your email addresses. Last I knew, HashiCorp uses GitHub login & just sends everything to your default address, w/ no option for switching to work address.

  • TechnoplexTV Technoplex (@TechnoplexTV) reported

    @github having an outage meanwhile my old architect told us we had to be Tier 0 for our internal-use provisioning API for GitHub. How's that work?

  • ecoreply Eco (@ecoreply) reported

    GitHub went down? They need to pull their own weight, and commit to fixing it right now. Otherwise, their users might checkout a branch and merge with their head...

  • roxcoldiron Roxanna Coldiron 🪄💻✨ (@roxcoldiron) reported

    @PeteMarek GitHub was down for a bit too. And the NJ groundhog died today.

  • _m1sta adam (@_m1sta) reported

    @jcxdev @github it was down earlier

  • brian_mcgough Binary McMalware (@brian_mcgough) reported

    S, github is down? is it GNS?

  • thrashr888 Paul Thrasher (@thrashr888) reported

    You know you're at a weird spot in your Software Engineering career when Github going down doesn't affect your day at all.

  • PeytonSale randle hate club (@PeytonSale) reported

    Was GitHub coded in GitHub? Therefore if GitHub went down no one would ever be able to fix it?

  • swissguesser swissguesser (@swissguesser) reported

    @VToninal Our apologies, this challenge has to be reissued due to a GitHub error! 😔🙏

  • anti666tv anti666tv (@anti666tv) reported

    Dear @github , if you need to restore from a backup to fix your mess ... fine, but can you at least let us know, so we don't hunt ghosts?!

  • DThompsonDev Danny Thompson (@DThompsonDev) reported

    Github down? No green square today? Cool. Keeping my streak of no green squares going even further!😎

  • vindaRd arvin (@vindaRd) reported

    @frazras @github I guess this is always a risk if <insert-ci-provider> is down? 🤔

  • nomad_crow raphael (@nomad_crow) reported

    wdym 'github is down' it's working like a charm 'ere. Am I the chosen one?

  • HowDevelop Shivay Lamba (@HowDevelop) reported

    Less than 48 hours ago @gitlab faced an outage. Now @github is down. Next @Bitbucket 👀 February has not started in the right way for *** 👀👀

  • InKryption07 InK (@InKryption07) reported

    @andy_kelley @github I'm surprised this is a problem. I would feel too embarrassed to put up a question on an issue tracker, and instead defer to asking people in the community directly.

  • ShopifyEng Shopify Engineering (@ShopifyEng) reported

    Can we all agree that the protocol for a GitHub outage is the same as the one for a snow day?
