Tell HN: GitHub Having Issues

51•Sytten•2h ago
Another day, another Github outage.

Files are not loading, cannot create repos, etc.

Comments

As of the time of writing, nothing on the status page either :( https://www.githubstatus.com

Updog tracks this via Datadog logs - https://updog.ai/status/github

No wonder they don't publish an availability percentage. If I was a business customer paying for GitHub I would be very upset with the availability lately.
lelandbatey•2h ago
Someone built an archive of Github statuses to show aggregate uptime, last month and this month Github's uptime is below 90%, not even one "nine" of availability: https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/

87% uptime for Github in February 2026. They've got to get it together.

jcgrillo•1h ago
They only have to get it together if the churn impacts their bottom line. If they aren't losing strategic customers the uptime is good enough.

Actions are failing and starting new actions results in a 500 error... The status page is shockingly all green...

Edit: The status page is no longer green

Ah finally evidence that it’s down. Their status pages didnt say anything. Thank you!
AznHisoka•2h ago
Right at the precise moment I decide to git pull!
kdazzle•2h ago
My god. I hope the constant refreshing helps.

Seems like it would be increasingly difficult to make a case for switching to GitHub.

utf_8x•2h ago
GitLab seems to be having some issues too https://status.gitlab.com/

Last time this happened, GPT 5.3-codex was released...

Github continuing their recent trend of less-than-one 9 of availability: https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/

87.85% of across-the-board availability for the month of February. Maybe March will be even lower.

incomplete•1h ago
came here to post that community github status page, thanks for beating me to it!

feels like it's a race to the bottom here, and gitlab is starting to look even more appealing as the 9s disappear from github's uptime numbers.

I'm wondering how many millions in developer productivity are being lost every minute.
flopsamjetsam•2h ago
I am not a heavy user of GitHub at the moment, but it seems like every week or two there's an outage.
shimman•2h ago
Might as well call it SlopHub at this point.
madeofpalk•1h ago
Is there anything to point towards Github's (not so) recent issues being related to AI coding?

Github's always had reliability issues. They tend to have these 'seasons' of downtime. It's been like this for years.

edgyquant•1h ago
No reason to assume all slop is ai generated
shimman•1h ago
Well yes, the CEO of GitHub said "embrace AI or get out:"

https://www.businessinsider.com/github-ceo-developers-embrac...

Unless you're unemployed ATM, what is happening throughout corporate America is forcing employees to use LLM tools or get fired. It's hard to not see the connection, big tech offerings were already shit before but since all these mandates it's gotten noticeability worse.

You don't get to back away from the LLM damage when you were making the media rounds telling everyone to use these tools. This is a direct result of using these tools: decaying code, rotten services, and putrid responses.

anonymousab•1h ago
GitHub itself was reorged under the CoreAI division recently, I think.

For the stability issues, I see it more as a potential tenuous link between having to hyper accelerate the Azure moves with a "you have no excuses because AI makes everything easier" sentiment from above, and then the more obvious literal situation of devs maybe vibecoding infra changes.

No evidence of the latter, just the likelihood, given the incentives.

pluc•1h ago
That's ok Copilot will fix it

cableshaft•1h ago
It's working intermittently for me, so not entirely down. But yeah I did notice issues, enough to look on DownDetector and check here.
arionmiles•1h ago
I seriously believe that it's not that GitHub is run on AI-generated code that's responsible for these slew of outages recently. I think it's crumbling under the load of a significantly large amount of AI-enabled coding with users raising PRs and pushing content a lot more than previously.

Obviously, if this is true, the team at GitHub is failing to scale their infra to meet the workload demands.
