GitHub Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Peter Pistorius (@appfactory) reportedThe GitHub web UI is broken. Just use the CLI. PR/issues are fine there. $ gh pr ls $ gh issue ls
-
pseudozach (@citlayik) reported@mjovanovictech GitHub be like: we can't go down if everyone is afraid of using us because we charge 500x
-
Jaylen Douglas (@jaylendouglas_) reportedI’ve seen this sneaky tactic that @github Copilot uses. After you create a plan and start implementation, it creates has an endless conversation with itself and never actually starts building. Then it timeouts with a response limit error. Slimy.
-
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.
-
AdrianPK (@adrianpkstream) reportedGitHub is having issues today, but Codeberg is also struggling. The agents are complaining.
-
PRSM (@prsmdev) reported2/5 Here's the part I'm excited about: drop in any skill library: Anthropic's, your team's, a random one off GitHub and PRSM auto-categorizes them. Languages, frameworks, task kinds, risk level, all inferred. Tools inside each skill get filtered down to what PRSM actually exposes, so nothing imports broken.
-
Peer Richelsen (@peer_rich) reportedhey when @pumfleet said open source is dead he didnt mean shut down @github
-
Sree (@eersnington) reported@JeffKazzee @theo @giteaio yeah it doesn’t exactly inspire confidence but i’ll still take a look as that text issue is better than any random github outage last since last week
-
Nathan One (@Nathanone) reported@GergelyOrosz the answer is never. devs complain on X all day and ship through GitHub the next morning because their CI/CD, Copilot, SSO and audit graph all live there. switching cost isn't the repo, it's the org graph wrapped around it. Salesforce in the 2010s saw the same pattern. monopoly software dies of irrelevance, not outage. On the bright side, you can use AI to rebuild your own private version of ***...but that's pretty low on my priorities when you can literally build any software in house these days thanks to AI, even in single person orgs.

Shamil (@shamil0xff) reportedgithub showed zero open pull requests, so i assumed it was my network again, which to be fair does suck in my apartment. then i opened X and there it was. another day, another outage
-
Franck Dunand (@franckdunand) reported@AnthropicAI billing system stuck on my account — every Max upgrade attempt returns the same dead Stripe PaymentIntent. void_invoice loop, confirmed server-side. Sent you a DM with details. Same class of bug as GitHub #45890.
-
xpereta (@xpereta) reported@GergelyOrosz It seems it's an issue with their website. The list is empty on the web, but I can see them using the Github CLI: gh pr list
-
Matt List (@nz_mrl) reported@bstaples The problem with Gitlab is it's enterprise pricing. There is nothing for the small guys. GitHub is $4/user a month where Gitlab is $29/user a month.
-
alkimiadev (@alkimiadev) reported@hkarthik I self host *** now using gitea. I rented a cheap server from ovh/kimsufi for $16/month with 1gps internet(32gb ram, 3x 2tb soft raid). Gitea has most features from github that matter and has had 100% uptime since I set it up. I also turned off signups and push mirror to github. In the coming months I have some projects that will probably start to gain some real usage and I'm preemptively handling the flood of pr/nonsense bug noise Github is sitting in a dangerous spot right now. Their users have at least some level of technical competency and for slightly more than their basic subscription one can self-host their own version control. The reason why many people use it because it used to "just work".
-
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.
-
luna (@ImLunaHey) reportedjfc github is still having issues.. its been almost 3 hours.
-
Ryan Tipps (@ryan_tipps) reported@theo @grok What is the meta problem that is causing GitHub to have such terrible uptime lately
-
Michael Grunder (@grumi78) reportedIs #GitHub unstable for anyone else? Seems like they're having server-side problems (issues not loading, PRs showing blank, etc).
-
Raj Nagulapalle (@rajnagulapalle) reported@YashHustle_22 Reddit/github/X it depends on the problem u r solving
-
Varshith Krishna (@Varshithkk) reportedWhy is everything so slow today, feels like almost all the services I use are not working :( #notion #github #reddit
-
Dylan Garcia (@_dylanga) reportedHow do you have months of daily/weekly downtime, critical data-related bugs, and constant webhook and UI/API issues, while simultaneously being owned by the second largest cloud compute provider in the world? @github / @Microsoft you literally have to do better. Millions of people and billions of dollars of revenue rely on you.
-
neuralamp (@neuralamp4ever) reported@_Felipe Nothing is solved - these are just empty slogans. The software quality is deteriorating, even GitHub, which used to be rock-stable, has serious issues.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@itsmehatef @braelyn_ai Haha, fair pivot. The biggest GitHub friction I see devs rant about daily is still the endless context-switching: juggling PRs, CI/CD, reviews, deploys, and now AI tools that live outside the repo. What’s killing your flow on it? Let’s crowdsource the pain points and build the fix. 🚀
-
Nelo Puchades (@nelopuchades) reported@github I guess this move only makes sense if you’re somewhat profitable enough with enterprise customers, because regular users are going to go down, down, DOWN. Almost nobody who isn’t an enterprise customer is going to use Copilot with this pricing tier.
-
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.
-
muzz khan (@muzzdotdev) reportedI ask again, can't microsoft just throw money on compute for github and fix their uptime?
-
Ryan Bright (@rbright) reportedAutomated appeal rejection, GitHub being down yet again, constant spam in every channel, dead internet full of bots. Look, it's been fun, but I'm ready to admit this all kind of sucks.
-
Ori Livni (@oriSomething) reported@matanbobi @DorShinar This is exactly why it’s a management issue. I didn’t talk about technicality. If you have real technical issue, I expect management to make hard decisions. As a paying user, I have a different expectation from free users who spam Github from their AI agent
-
Nick Hagianis (@nhagianis) reportedI'd bet github actions is causing a lot of problems for them. Volunteering to become the world's test runner and execute arbitrary non-deterministic code. What could possibly go wrong? I'd also bet it's costing them a lot more than they anticipated.

Mehul Mohan (@mehulmpt) reportedrandom day of 2026, gun to the head, and you have to tell a website that is down right now, to save yourself answer github
