Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
pradeep (@pradeep24) reportedalso turned on anonymous crash & hang telemetry by default in camofox. auto-files github issues when the browser crashes or stalls so we can fix what actually breaks at scale already caught and fixed a 930MB memory leak from it, can be disabled with ENV var.
-
MetaCritic Capital (@MetacriticCap) reportedInstead of selling GitHub Copilot at a loss to gain some market share, Microsoft will charge listed API rates. Terrible. Destroyed the product. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. And the price points they sell are $10/mo and $40/mo. Wtf.
-
Simon Skinner (@vultuk) reported@MikeBirdTech @useblacksmith We are using Blacksmith. Honestly haven’t really seen much of a difference between GitHub and Blacksmith. I would also say, without any metrics to back it up right now, I’ve noticed our CICD on Blacksmith has slowed down in the last week or so.
-
samir (@samirettali) reported@steipete so this is why github is down again
-
Jos (@Josvh88) reported@github terrible decision
-
gordon (@nodediggity) reportedGetting really tired of @GitHub going down every other day. Merges reverting commits, PRs broken, Projects not loading, now this. This is critical infrastructure for millions of developers. We deserve better reliability, this is getting silly now.
-
Dan Heywood (@HeyDanDesign) reportedI mustn’t code enough because I’ve not had a single issue with GitHub
-
Can Vardar (@icanvardar) reportedis github down?
-
mark (@r_marked) reported@Omardoescode I blamed the Refined Github extension first, because surely GH itself wouldn't be down for HOURS?
-
Tequila Funk (@tequilafunks) reportedgithub PRs down everyone suddenly remembers they have write access to ****
-
Glauber Costa (@glcst) reported@samlambert @erfanium I'd love to see more sqlite in the world, but I am sure that github has 1000 problems they need to tackle before this even matter.
-
Hugo (@hugorcd) reportedBuilding more and more GitHub agents and tools lately. Setting up GitHub Apps was a pain every single time. So I used @glazeapp by @raycast to fix it. Now I just fill a form, hit create, and get a ready-to-paste .env with everything. Private key already base64-encoded. All credentials there. What took 10 minutes now takes 10 seconds.
-
alkimiadev (@alkimiadev) reported@hkarthik I don't really understand that. That $16 server could handle a dev team >50x users without breaking a sweat and probably up to a couple hundred. A business using github must just hate money and never bothered to do a cost benefit analysis. The per user costs of self-hosting decrease as one scales users. A business with a team of ~200 can save massively each year by self-hosting. Like most things it is actually the "hobbyist"(kind of insulting) that pay more per unit.
-
Michael Grunder (@grumi78) reportedIs #GitHub unstable for anyone else? Seems like they're having server-side problems (issues not loading, PRs showing blank, etc).
-
Soikat (@soikat) reported@kitlangton At this point we need to build the whole github within a tui, things are just broken when you open the github app :-(
-
Raj Nagulapalle (@rajnagulapalle) reported@YashHustle_22 Reddit/github/X it depends on the problem u r solving
-
Volitz (@Volitz_) reported@gnukeith GitHub NEVER has issue wdym?
-
breakfastmaxi (@pranavsf) reportedgithub PR tab is broken rn. 'x PRs open' and you go to the tab and it shows nothing. incredible.
-
ahmet (@bruvimtired) reported@bendesprets yes, but github is down, and gitbruv isnt tracking properly yet LMFAO
-
AramCZ (@AramCZ123) reported@AramCZGames When I needed to use GitHub Actions since I do not have a Mac making it was just trial and error. I tried, failed after 60 commits, and finally exported it to .ipa but the game just shows a black screen. I spent 3 hours on it and it got to my mental state that I just had to quit.
-
Stefano Saitta (@nerder_) reportedAt this point github is more down than up
-
Sam Erde (@SamErde) reported🚨 Is @GitHub down for anyone else? By "down," I mean "not showing any PRs or issues." 🫣
-
JoshXT (@JoshXT) reported@RealRobinGrant @C8Luna @github Claude Code is a far worse harness in my experience. The recent rate limits in GitHub copilot forced me to try Claude Code and Codex again, I've already given up on Claude code, it is too lazy. Codex with GPT-5.5 wants to fix problems, Claude just doesn't in Claude code.
-
XM (@xm_build) reported@GergelyOrosz github needs to fix outages before users run out of patience, next big outage could be the tipping point
-
Lucas Meijer (@lucasmeijer) reported@Yuval_Shimoni Sometimes I want to fix an issue in someone else’s project. They usually use GitHub and pull requests. Storage backend is just “the place I and my teammates push/pull from “
-
Eric Adams (@adams_ea) reportedIs it possible for github to have 2 or 3 consecutive days without a major outage anymore? #theenshittening
-
Bencun (@bencun93) reported500 Server error Github most of the time 2026
-
Gwen (@publicer_rivers) reported@badlogicgames could try codeberg! it's pretty nice it has all the features you use on github afaik. the only potential issue is that their hosted runners require a short application and manual approval to use. I don't know how strict they are it might act as a minor slop filter too :) lazy people are easily stopped by signup walls
-
Frosty 🇺🇸 (@Loki519) reported@github oh wow, a bill experience, that sounds great! Checks notes: Oh, it's just another bill you have to pay for a service that is down quite a bit.
-
Albin Groen (@albingroen) reportedThe problem with GitHub is probably not GitHub. It’s a problem of scale. Managing close to all code in the world is not easy.
