    @osodevops it's not dead , but i don't think there's a business need for it... they are trying but it doesn't look like they are very successful + the never-ending issues opened/unresolved on their github projects doesn't help it's not useful even for local development nowaydays #docker

    GitHub really is turning into absolute crap. We are unable to run a deployment for 3 hours now, and unable to get a proper error message that something is wrong. Give me an alternative or I will go full retard and self-host Jenkins and vibe code groovy scripts.

    @DhiruCodes I just checked and somehow I've got rate limited by github. can you maybe do google login instead? while I check this

    Insane that it has been an hour and GitHub Actions still completely down

    @Youssofal_ I've started experimenting with Github Copilot cli configured to local models and chinese models through their APIs. So far looks promissing. But I have not gone fully turbo on it yet. Another problem is that the low quant open weigh models are not super good at tool calling. Another issue is the huge repetitive system prompt size of these coding agents. You need inference servers with prompt caching.

    Just when I had an important deployment GitHub actions outage had to happen lol

    @pokena_nft It’s an outage it seems. I was wondering the same thing about it being gone. I found an outage in their GitHub Status page for “degraded services” for GitHub Copilot

    @agent_duckman Wait, I have actually looked at the code, so I don't actually know, but looking at the GitHub page - you can't be just giving them your discord credentials for them to pass through their relay server, right? That CAN'T be what they're doing

    Interviewer: GitHub Actions is down again. Your CI pipeline is frozen. No deploys. No merges. What's your backup plan?

    github outage again!!

    The problem here is marketing. I bet such platforms exist on Github and Gitlab. In marketing you will be competing with Uber which is willing to take a $5bn loss per year.

    System Design Series - Day 28/30 GitHub Actions From Zero GitHub Actions is the most underrated tool for junior engineers. Free. Built into GitHub. Used by thousands of production teams. Understanding it makes you immediately more valuable at any company. Here's how it works from zero 👇 1. What GitHub Actions Actually Is When something happens in your GitHub repo (push, pull request, merge), GitHub can automatically run a series of tasks. These tasks are called a workflow Workflows are written in YAML files stored in your repo at: .github/workflows/your-workflow.yml That's it. A file in your repo tells GitHub what to do automatically. 2. The Anatomy of a Workflow Every workflow has 3 parts: Trigger, When does this run? - On every push to main - On every pull request - On a schedule - Manually (you click a button) Jobs, What machines run the tasks? - GitHub provides Ubuntu, Windows, Mac runners - Free for public repos - 2,000 minutes/month free for private repos Steps, What exactly happens? - Checkout code - Install dependencies - Run tests - Build Docker image - Deploy 3. A Real CI Pipeline for a Node.js App What happens when you push code: 1. Spins up a fresh Ubuntu server 2. Checks out your code 3. Installs Node.js 20 4. Runs npm install 5. Runs npm test 6. If tests fail → marks commit as failed and stops 7. If tests pass → marks commit as passed Takes about 2 minutes. Runs on every single push. You never ship untested code again. 4. Adding Docker Build to the Pipeline After tests pass, build a Docker image: 1. Log into Docker Hub (using GitHub Secrets) 2. Build the Docker image 3. Tag it with the commit SHA 4. Push to Docker Hub Now your image is stored remotely. Any server can pull and run it. Same image. Same environment. No more "works on my machine." 5. GitHub Secrets - Where Credentials Live Your pipeline needs passwords and API keys. NEVER put them in your workflow file. NEVER put them in your code. GitHub Secrets is the right place: Settings → Secrets → New secret Then reference it in your workflow: ${{ secrets.YOUR_SECRET_NAME }} GitHub encrypts them. They never appear in logs. This is how production teams handle credentials in pipelines. What CI/CD or GitHub Actions question do you have? Reply below 👇 #SystemDesign #GitHubActions #DevOps

    GitHub isn’t just a place to push code anymore. It’s where developers: • learn in public • build credibility • collaborate globally • showcase problem-solving • and sometimes… land their dream job Your commits tell a story before your resume does.

    @lightninsprout_ Yeah, unfortunately Github sponsor is the only way to support us for now. Maybe you can contact Github for your payment issue 🙏

    @Cloudflare for pages, why can you not connect a personal github account if you’ve already connected an org account? It gives you the option, lists your repos and doesn’t let you proceed after that. There are 4 issues reported in the last month about it, seems pretty urgent, no?

    @Lichi2t1Lichi2t @ParallelTCG I can make a detailed opensource information of the tool on GitHub if enough people are interested but don't want to get into trouble for non technical people (o my pc is hacked bcoz of the software blah blah )

    Customer cancels at 2am. Why? Normally: 45 min across Stripe, your error tracker, GitHub, support, Slack. Five tabs. One frazzled CS lead. ChurnSentry does it in one SQL query. Coral does the heavy lifting. Pirates of the Coral-bean @WeMakeDevs x @WithCoral_com

    Code review is broken. Developers waste hours finding the same bugs across pull requests. CodePatrol is an AI agent that monitors your GitHub repos 24/7, catches security issues before they ship, and learns your codebase. Works while you sleep.

    @forgebitz @SimonHoiberg We've been using GitLab for over 10 years. We've never regretted it. GitHub is set up as a mirror. I can't imagine being dependent on GitLab. You should definitely consider alternatives. Server management isn't as much of a hassle anymore.

    @realameerdev cursor + claude together is the combo that actually ships. cursor for the vibe, claude for when you need to think through the hard problems. github copilot feels like it's been spinning its wheels since 2021.

    What is actually happening at GitHub? Was here stressed that my actions pipeline didn't trigger on merge onto main, only to read that GitHub actions is experiencing an outage wtfff

    I noticed that issues created by github-actions can be queried via gh cli, but cannot be seen on the page. It should be a GitHub BUG... @githubstatus @github

    GitLab has apparently taken down the Nightmare-Eclipse account just days after the researcher moved there following the GitHub ban. The drama started after Nightmare-Eclipse released several Windows exploits and Defender bypass tools, including BlueHammer, RedSun, and UnDefend. GitHub removed the account earlier this week over concerns that the tools could be misused and weaponized. Security company Huntress says some of the tools have already been seen in real-world intrusion cases, showing how quickly proof-of-concept research can end up being used in actual attacks.
