GitHub Is Down

18•dfajgljsldkjag•3w ago
Trying to view any file gives a unicorn e.g. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/README

status is still green: https://www.githubstatus.com/

Comments

MPiccinato•3w ago
Can browse repositories but looking at an individual file is showing a unicorn. Other parts are slow to load.
srmatto•3w ago
Same for me.
ezekg•3w ago
Thankfully cloning still works so I'm still able to continue spelunking.

microslop copilot strikes again
publicdebates•3w ago
We don't know that it's Copilot's fault yet. Just because Microsoft is pushing more and more of its devs to use GitHub Copilot, and is bragging about how much internal code is being written by GHCP, and has had several serious crashes coinciding with this timing, this is no evidence that GH-crashes are CP-related. Let's just wait and see that Microsoft tells us it had nothing to do with GHCP. Then we will know that GH crashes had nothing to do with CP.

Is this sarcasm?

If not, then here is one: yes, corporations are famously forthcoming about their products causing infrastructure problems.

rvz•3w ago
Looking forward to the post-mortem.
data_ders•3w ago
somehow not being logged into GH enterprise (incognito) lets me access individual files in public repos that I otherwise can't access right now

srmatto•3w ago
FWIW For browsing you can still clone a repo over https/ssh and then browse locally.
countWSS•3w ago
Still, why many projects are exclusively on github? Not a single mirror, everything tied to github working, thousands of people not even considering alternatives..
johnisgood•3w ago
I am curious whether this is unfamiliarity with alternatives or a deliberate decision that mirrors are not worth the overhead. I tend to read it as a rough signal for whether someone's thought about infrastructure dependencies at all. Not exactly engineering ability, just whether their mental model of "git" extends beyond GitHub.
