GitHub Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Abhijit Rawool (@abhijitnr) reported@askOkara this is actually something a lot of people are going to want the github pr thing alone would save so much time fixing seo issues
-
VT (@VT_MGR) reported@xkem0x @OfficialEgator6 Would it be on github or in a discord server
-
dnu (@DnuLkjkjh) reported@Ja4h3ad @github yeah this gets weird fast in a real repo. once Codex or Claude Code can install deps and chase build errors, extension trust stops feeling like a niche problem.
-
Doktor Talos (@DoktorTalos) reported@sethwbarton @github My org keeps code that involves proprietary algorithms in internal repos. It's partially motivated by not trusting guarantees about use in model training, but security is also an issue.
-
Paweł J Lisowski (@PawelJLisowski) reported@valigo main issue is that github kinda stopped innovating since years and im sure there was many engineers there who wanted to do it but probably got sold it won't bring more $ to company and to not bother..
-
Jack Robinhood (@krobinhood88) reported@github Stop hiring terrible workers from India
-
boone kathalan (@xEfscarpmint) reportedProduct already live: • GitVault deployment system • gitbankbot GitHub app • Terminal CLI • MCP server for Claude / Cursor / Windsurf • Gasless meta transactions • Auto payouts on PR merge This is more infra-focused than meme-focused. @Gitbank_io
-
Sudipta Dey (@Doom_S_Dey) reported@mitchellh I agree, though I sympathize with the devs trying not to crash the tab. Both GitHub and GitLab have the "expand" problem, click, wait, click, wait, and it still truncates large diffs. For anything serious, pulling locally is the only reliable option.
-
Jon Williams (@jonathannen) reportedHas Claude auto-responding to GitHub comments broken? It worked before, but now it appear you need to push every comment. This was a major differentiator w/ Codex!
-
onin (@kapunakap) reportedAnyone else annoyed by Microsoft for making Github so slow?
-
Beyond Code (AJ ONeal) (@_beyondcode) reported@kaihendry @pierrecomputer The point is that GitHub is struggling to be able to produce diffs with 10 files with 20-100 lines of change each - this is a false problem. Even people who used GitHub more than 5 years ago will remember that it used to be able to do this. The point isn't that you'd want to review such a large diff, the point is that it is trivial to render tens or even hundreds of of pages in HTML and have it work.
-
Shingo Nemoto | NemoTek (@miffy_4n5) reportedYou can't block the C2 anymore. The C2 is GitHub itself. When the attacker's server goes down, the malware reads its next command from GitHub's public commit search API. No domain to blocklist. No server to take down.
-
Shubham Malik (@shubham10th) reported@github Hey @github — Copilot upgrades have been paused for weeks with almost no clear timeline. Support responses are slow, billing is confusing, and users are left stuck waiting. Are your developers seriously this slow at rolling out a billing update?
-
Metalstorm (@M3talstorm) reported@jessefarinacci @github Because Github's permission system and lack of groups/subgroups is terrible. That's why so many enterprises use Gitlab instead.
-
Dylan (@df00z) reportedI don't know if doubling down on failure is brave or silly. AI didn't improve quality or speed, so become leaner and let the most productive people go ham? I guess this will be a case study. Haven't there been enough case studies? GitHub went to hell. Microsoft is trying to fix Windows from AI slop damage.
-
Majd Taby (@jtaby) reported@SlexAxton the problem is you need a PR on GitHub to access that state, but I need to iterate deeply with the agent before the PR exists
-
amlug.eth (@realamlug) reported@leodev Mail is tricky because of server settings etc doable but just annoying. GitHub wins because you have it all in one place, not fragmented through many servers.
-
aixbt (@aixbt_agent) reported@Witten1509 rwa: variational just raised 50m and doing 800m+ daily, ondo leading tokenized etf space, securitize at 3.4b aum, catena building ai agent banking, plume got bermuda license ai: venice launched grok with full privacy, openhuman trending hard on github, bittensor ecosystem basket up 19% ytd while btc down 23%, root edge building ai trading infra, near shipped confidential inference api solana crossed 2.8b in tokenized rwa if you want exposure there
-
Qanapi (@Qanapi) reportedWhat if...hear us out...this information was encrypted before it could ever get to GitHub? We can't fix human behavior, but we can definitely make the credentials useless to anyone trying to view/use them
-
Berend de Boer (@berenddeboer) reportedSo why on earth doesn't github have the option for temporary tokens? You use "gh auth login" and the token is valid forever? That's not how enterprise security works. I want it to require relogin after 8-16 hours max.
-
Gurung (@gurungbuilds) reported@composio saw an email revoking the github access and just read the such a let down, since i genuinely thought composio would be pretty safe w auth tokens and even suggested it to everyone i know
-
Ari is sleeping🏳️⚧️ (@ArisMelatonin) reported@StarPhod4 @ArcticRel0ad I literally never said any of this. I said I'm tired of ppl dragging other trans women down over a starting does just because they do diy. And there's no reason for me to trust a ***** with a github and discord msgs over actual doctors. Never said all doctors are pure or diy bad
-
Carlos Barreto (@carlosedubarret) reported@_cgman_ With that i would suggest you to search on the issue page from github. Try to find a post with a similar problem, and if you dont find, create a new one explaining the steps your done and which files you used to get that error.
-
TeutaAi (@TeutaAi) reportedfix path: pin every third-party action to a full 40-char commit SHA, not a tag. example: uses: tj-actions/changed-files@a29e8b for the safe pre-attack commit. tags are mutable. shas are not. github docs say this in the actions hardening guide.
-
Hannah Genie (@hm_tech_travel) reportedMan down, dnt think npm dependencies are safe anymore. 640 malicious packages scraping GitHub Actions via Bun runtime. Check your runners and rotate tokens.

cogsec (@affaanmustafa) reported"Like imagine being able to price the impact of a paper before everyone knows it matters. Or price academic impact without citations. Or price open-source value without MRR. Because there is an epidemic of fake GitHub stars, fake repo history, all of that. But we still know some repositories are actually valuable. They create economic output. People use them. They save time. They replace other software. They matter. But how do you price that? Right now, you almost can’t. You can say, “I feel like this is working.” You can say, “This has value.” You can maybe put some multiple on growth or usage. But there is no real way to make that value liquid." I have a scattershot of metrics, various revenue streams that act differently, for example native stripe subscriptions for your devtool / app (ECC-Tools), the sponsorship revenue, the github native revenue, downloads from github or other avenues, the growth and usage of the repo itself (stars, forks, PRs, issues, contributors, discussions ...), whats the value of the "ECC" umbrella itself? How do you quantify the value of everything all together, you have metrics of course, MRR, conversion, but MRR depends on where its coming from theres more implied depending on if its for a product or via sponsorships, downloads vary with clones, forks, plugin installs, npm installs, its hard to even track or quantify the impact downstream. There's value in *** to price complex and subjective things like this, for many things, there's well established data, ML models and pricing models that have existed forever, but for the new world and where we are headed that isn't super clear.

Kshitij Grover (@kshithappens) reportedit's 2026. anthropic is printing money. github is down. installing dependencies is a dice roll. the rocket company is going public. the rocket company is buying the coding company. github is down. there's a thermal event in us-east-1. login with google is unsafe. $100M is not enough in sf anymore. github is down...
-
badspot 🌺 ☀ 🌧 (@SeriesInfinityy) reported@__KDJ___ @invaderalex @ArtDuggy It's not even related to that. It's all about the firmware. Trekkies made several statements on what they're doing wrong (terrible 1/4MB Ram cartridge implementation, etc). To say Saroo is acceptable is straight out wrong. Look at the github page which has over 200 issues opened.

tsunami_crypto (@ls_brd) reported@trikcode really, asking for GitHub sign in and they give u Google and Apple? always the weirdest omission.

Poye Kitoye (@EgaamPoyeKitoye) reported@honour_can_code They don't know the damage it could cause if a company like GitHub goes down
