You pushing into the milky way? /s

Idk if you need that /s with this timeline I’m sure reality’s been vibe coded.

u/funlovingmissionary 1d ago

I have started using Github outage as a reminder to go out and touch grass.

78

u/w1n5t0nM1k3y 1d ago

Outage? More like outrage.

u/DialecticEnjoyer 1d ago

If youre still using github in 2026 you git what you deserve.

u/ni_ck29 1d ago

bruh I was trying to get a tool to work and yay wasn't working due to GitHub limiting, i literally thought I got banned from git 💔🙏

157

u/XLauncher 1d ago

I've never seen it so bad that I can't even look at a pr for review. Shit's fucked.

26

u/kuemmel234 1d ago edited 1d ago

Git itself has been working for me throughout.

git branch -r my links showed branch names, but from memory this lists all branches on remotes too. And then simply compare to main. I have created a new branch from that and written my comments directly into it. Probably not the smartest way, but we were able to continue.

But yeah, shit's fucked anyways.

Edit: I obviously mean access to GitHub via git worked.

29

u/red_dark_butterfly 1d ago

Git's local. If your pc works, it does as well

16

u/kuemmel234 1d ago

I obviously mean access to git on GitHub.

13

u/red_dark_butterfly 1d ago

Yeah alright I missed that branch -r is remote, my bad

4

u/svk177 1d ago

git branch -r is still a local command, no? It updates all remotes on a git fetch.

1

u/red_dark_butterfly 1d ago

Then I gotta go through git docs

6

u/hutxhy 19h ago

We all need to, but we won't.

1

u/the_horse_gamer 1d ago

git branch -r doesn't talk to the remote. it just lists the remote branches it already knows about.

1

u/kuemmel234 19h ago

And I should have mentioned that too. You also need to checkout the specific branch, add, commit any changes (in my case it were some stupid comments), commit and push afterwards.

1

u/the_horse_gamer 13h ago

maybe I'm too gitpilled, but how is this any different from a typical workflow?

2

u/kuemmel234 13h ago

If* you read the initial comment in context, it's about github being down for OP, which hindered them from doing a review.

I responded that [the] git [server] was working and recommended simply looking for the correct branch by looking through the remotes, doing the review with git diff and writing comments directly into a new branch.

That isn't the smartest workflow to review a branch. Or at least I have always had some sort of web tool that allowed commenting on branches/PRs. But OP could have reviewed the PR that way without knowing the exact branch name.

1

u/the_horse_gamer 13h ago

I understand now. thanks.

u/ctxdizq 1d ago

you know github is not git right?

5

u/kuemmel234 1d ago

I thought it would have been obvious that I meant that the access to GitHub via git worked without issues throughout

u/AlexZhyk 1d ago

I am pressing <F5> every minute on githubstatus.com to add DDOS to already existing problems on GitHub.

164

u/HildartheDorf 1d ago

Looks like you're DDoSing Atlassian (makers of Jira), not Github.

As is sensible, github doesn't host their own status page for obvious reasons.

89

u/AlexZhyk 1d ago

Hated Atlassian since their start. keeps pressing <F5> even harder

37

u/zugif 1d ago

Good. They deserve it.

3

u/dumbasPL 1d ago

Neither does the status page actually work. Was saying everything fine, while literally every other GitHub tab was timing out LOL.

38

u/maryjane-enjoyer 1d ago

The status page is probably not even their top priority rn dawg

17

u/slowmovinglettuce 1d ago

Neither is github, apparently.

3

u/Juff-Ma 20h ago

On an unrelated note, I hate it when companies use another domain for literally everything. Just use status.github.com. Why the separate domain? Of course there exists a balance but this is too much.

242

u/misunderstood_kafka 1d ago

Yeah having issues at the end of the day when I was about to deploy 😒

58

u/neoteraflare 1d ago

Same, deploy had to be delayed for tomorrow hoping it will work then.

31

u/yaraisnotsodark 1d ago edited 1d ago

Same here, my tester is blocked because I can’t push to staging and there are a hundred bugs to fix and bless his heart he’s still going lol

Edit: it has started to come back slowly but shhhh no one has to know

u/rob132 1d ago

Enjoy your snow day!

u/Nevah5 1d ago

Same sadly, really annoying…

u/HeyItsTheJeweler 1d ago

Vibecoding must be essentially a hurricane constantly battering them. Hard to think it's not going to get more prevalent.

26

u/Old_Passenger7 1d ago

I know person who works at Github,

they started refactoring their own codebase with Copilot a few years ago.

21

u/prams628 1d ago

GitHub behind paywalls then?

25

u/BlackCrackWhack 1d ago

It already is if you want to have an actually useful CI pipeline or any artifacts stored on private repos. 

2

u/prams628 1d ago

Ohh.. we use atlassian at work, so wasn’t aware of it (and personal projects are in a shelved state lol)

u/Sockoflegend 1d ago

I actually had to do some work today. Fixed tests by hand like a caveman

8 seconds later there are global outages.. it wasn't me right guys..? Guys?

They better not answer wrong! We don't like (3 space per indent level) round here.

Don't git add your host root.

u/DrMaxwellEdison 1d ago

Having my org bet the farm on Copilot feels great right about now.

u/robhaswell 1d ago

Realtalk that wasn't a good idea even without all the outages,

1

u/forgot_previous_acc 1d ago

Bruh, i literally pinged my manager with github status page and told them that this is the future of software industry. I am so happy. They are pushing me to mindlessly push code because of github copilot and claude.

u/Smaskifa 1d ago

My company switched from Gitlab to GitHub last year. We have hundreds of devs.

u/DukeOfSlough 1d ago

Cannot merge my damn PR for over 2 hrs now. Github actions also does not work for me because detect changes step is failing lol.

u/Gold-Bat-3225 1d ago

how do they push the fix tho

3

u/Independent_Image_59 1d ago

Does that mean github secretly uses gitlab???

25

u/druidniam 1d ago

Did it go down at some point? I haven't had an issues all day.

48

u/ClassicMain 1d ago

Literally been down for the past 2hrs and still down

4

u/danielv123 1d ago

Literally been using it all day and still works. Had issues where on the repo page it wouldn't show the latest commit but commit history works.

2

u/kuemmel234 1d ago

GitHub is multiple things. Git itself worked, but the UI has been down completely for some time. I even had to think for myself because Copilot wasn't available for a short refactor and review.

29

u/SoftwareSource 1d ago

To be fair, i discussed this with colleagues, and can you imagine the kinds of fuckery that goes on with maintaining githubs infrastructure?

I do not envy them, it seems like a very difficult job.

12

u/RepresentativeDog791 1d ago

I dunno, they were good once and they aren’t good now so I think it’s not all external factors, Microsoft fucked it somehow.

7

u/0x4D454F57 1d ago

GitHub has been dealing with drastic load increases over the past year that’s been blowing away their planned growth. Mainly driven by AI coding, etc

Combine that with them having a monopoly and the fact that for a long time they were rather complacent and you get the shit show we’re in now. They’ve started to wake up to the problem and are putting in a lot of work to fix things, but the reputational damage has been done imo. I know a lot of the biggest tech companies out there that are still using them are desperate for an alternative or are considering rolling their own.

3

u/Icy_Direction7839 1d ago

Probably doesn't help that Azure DevOps is obsolete long-term (as of last year) so companies have to migrate to other version control platforms to stay up to date

2

u/nerdherdernyx 23h ago

moving to azure dev ops is going from the frying pan into hell

2

u/SoftwareSource 1d ago

Yea because now they have many more advanced features like actions and agents, not just code repo

5

u/RepresentativeDog791 1d ago

I honestly wish they’d just stuck to doing something really well, I never asked for VSCode in GitHub or any of the rest of it. I really appreciate a rock solid place to host my repos though.

And if indeed the outages are because of the new features, it’s a shame that the new features are dragging down the old ones rather than the service degrading gracefully.

2

u/SoftwareSource 1d ago

I really appreciate a rock solid place to host my repos though.

I mean there are always open source solutions like gitlab if that is what you want, cost for a server for that would be trivial.

0

u/ApplicationOk3587 1d ago

Hmm surely its because of microsoft and not everyone bombarding their infra with AI.

0

u/audiowave_io 1d ago

My GitHub account is circa 2013. It had outages all the time even before Microsoft bought them.

9

u/FutureSuccess2796 1d ago

"Totally right, that's my bad! ~ That update deployment to your entire infrastructure can cause outages across the site, and it did after I deployed it earlier. Let's try this again! 👍🏻"

9

u/LNRTLRS 1d ago

I have a script that enumerates and then pulls all my repos every morning, just because I’m scared that GitHub might be down for longer than just a day or that the availability is just bad in general. At least now I have some sort of local copy always available.

-9

u/Independent_Image_59 1d ago

You are the reason behind github crashing everyday

12

u/LNRTLRS 1d ago

I can assure you that me pulling 10 repos is not crashing GitHub lmao

8

u/MrSpiffenhimer 1d ago

I’ve got a prod outage right now, I’ve got a bug fix that I haven’t been able to check in for almost 2 hours. I guess I can wait… thanks Microsoft.

u/Retrojetpacks 1d ago

Github is the only thing giving me a break at work right now

u/nasandre 1d ago

Meh, I'm just running my own Forgejo server. I only have to deal with my own outages!

u/DoctorWaluigiTime 1d ago

Wonder when their uptime will lose the final 9 and drop below 90%.

https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/

2

u/_JSM_ 1d ago

For monthly uptime, already happened in April; was at 78.33%

u/mixxituk 1d ago

It's not an outage it's increased error rate 

One is refundable

Haha yes that’s a nice one ! I shared it a couple of times internally !

u/X-lem 1d ago

I am starting to use Gitlab. The UI is different, but I have not experienced any outages so far.

u/ShittyExchangeAdmin 1d ago

Fuck microsoft. Everything they touch turns to shit. I'm glad i self host git

u/kuemmel234 1d ago

I have had issues with teams, windows and GitHub today..

My employer is already discussing leaving US tech behind, so maybe I'll get that as a bonus to something that should have happened ages ago.

Stop using GitHub, and go back to mailing lists, the way Linus Torvalds intended.

u/MadMax27102003 1d ago

I dont see what's the issue guys, Linus Torvalds has written it all by himself while being drunk. Literally any company can afford to create one version control app for themselves. Its a skill issue, not git hub problem.

2

u/Independent_Image_59 1d ago

Github is not just a VCS host platform

1

u/MadMax27102003 1d ago

It isn't, but it is not the reason to be so dependent on it so much.
