Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • peregrine Jason (@peregrine) reported

    Get email about pr on phone. Click email link. See build failed in github. Click build link into ci. CI has me login. Ci says desktop only. Please.

  • HamelHusain Hamel Husain (@HamelHusain) reported

    @ryanwi @github Oh interesting, like it's often been down even though it says everything is fine?

  • JamesNK James Newton-King ♔ (@JamesNK) reported

    Sometimes I have trouble figuring out whether a GitHub commenter has English as a second language, or whether the discussion is an elaborate psyop to get their feature prioritized. User: Is feature XXX supported? Me: No. User: But if I imagine you support feature XXX, do you?

  • michael_nielsen Michael Nielsen (@michael_nielsen) reported

    I wish @github let you make it impossible to issue pull requests against projects.

  • ethan_chiasson Ethan (@ethan_chiasson) reported

    My luck is just only getting worse. PC crashed. No desktop upon login. Flashing task bar. Tried everything outside of a system restore. I will most likely lose all my code ( not on GitHub ), designs, photos, and writings. Everyone stop what your doing and backup your PC now!

  • alexjustesen Alex (@alexjustesen) reported

    @gregavola "could have been an email" or "make a jira story" or "log a GitHub issue" ideally

  • Cardomination CardomiNation (@Cardomination) reported

    Mt phone was broken so I couldn't get passed 2auth on prism so I had to wait to take the course but by the time I had one they ignore me and I couldn't get github access. This is an issue now as I need a better grip on DIDs for my wallet to quickly handle tasks straight from it.

  • K_Deal2 Kevin Deal Jr. || Front-end Dev (@K_Deal2) reported

    Having serious issues making Pr’s on @github. An error appears telling me a backup file I didn’t create is too large to push to GitHub.

  • bog_dan Bogdan Stanciu @rv_inc (@bog_dan) reported

    @britinva @SlackHQ Too many people posting GitHub has issues.

  • dimaip Dmitri Pisarev 🇷🇺 (@dimaip) reported

    Slack outage is the worst kinda outage you can have. Doesn't even compare with Github or Google

  • _eleanorina eleanorina (@_eleanorina) reported

    @mmitchell_ai @athundt right but the PII here is information he has deliberately made public on github, his name, area of study, and univ affiliation, so why would its discoverability be a problem if he chose to make it publicly available

  • domneill Dom (@domneill) reported

    Slack and GitHub down on the same day. Today has… not been productive.

  • voice_dev_uk Stuart Pocklington (@voice_dev_uk) reported

    @ASpittel I keep hitting a build error whenever I try to deploy from GitHub

  • timheuer Tim (@timheuer) reported

    @archiecoder @github @l_anceM Can you point me to a failed run? I'd like to see what the error is (tracking a few other surprises for folks as well)

  • btopro bto-pro: Bryan Ollendyke, pro. (@btopro) reported

    I'm getting sh: 1: eleventy: Permission denied when doing a CI/CD pipeline on github that I have no issue with elsewhere. what is going on....

  • codypeterson Cody Peterson (@codypeterson) reported

    So glad I never started using ***. Y’all laughed when I said I just FTP into all of my clients servers and manually edit the code directly on the server. Now GitHub is down and y’all are losing hours of productivity.

  • czahller Chris J. Zähller (@czahller) reported

    Well I guess the AWS outage isn’t affecting Github anymore ‘cause I just pushed 3 commits.

  • jasonwbarnett Jason Barnett (@jasonwbarnett) reported

    @LogicalArthur @githubstatus @github I'm having issues with github too.

  • MrProtobuf Mr. Protobuf 🤡🌍 (@MrProtobuf) reported

    @trackbender @MartyBent @Trezor nothing prevents people to download the bitcoin client from github, install it and move their coins there while writing down the 12/24 words seed

  • wbolster wouter bolsterlee (@wbolster) reported

    @hynek @willmcgugan @_darrenburns tip: for things that need further clarification, actually *assign* the issue in github to the reporter, and add a ‘needs info’ label. shifts the mental burden back on them, and (hopefully) creates a ‘we're in this together’ instead of ‘doesn't work pls fix’ vibe

  • uwueviee evie@uwu (@uwueviee) reported

    github enterprise is unironically one of the worse bits of server software ive had the displeasure of using

  • mindkmst Rob Messick (@mindkmst) reported

    Just going to pretend like Slack and GitHub are still down... So I can sleep in a little longer.

  • EphingPosh Ryan Ephgrave (@EphingPosh) reported

    Is there a feature suggestion board for #PowerShell or is it only in GitHub issues? I'm ok putting it there, just don't want to clutter if there's a better place

  • tarasis Robert McGovern (@tarasis) reported

    @rka1010tweeting ? They didn’t. MS only bought GitHub a 2-3 years ago. *** is completely separate from GitHub & Microsoft. If you care enough you can self host a *** server on the internet, or more importantly you run *** locally and it doesn’t need the internet but you still get benefits of ***

  • TBDylan Dylan Anthony 🦀🐍 (@TBDylan) reported

    Got this from GH support “It looks like an upstream provider is having some issues which are affecting GitHub users in some locations.” So they’re at least aware of something that could be the cause

  • ErikBernskiold Erik Bernskiöld (@ErikBernskiold) reported

    Hey @automattic. Putting system specs shared via support into a public GitHub issue without asking permission is so far from OK that I don’t know where to start.

  • antecoder Joey Dalu (@antecoder) reported

    okay why is github trending after this slack outage?

  • IxoyeDesign Joshua Berrios 🇵🇷 👨‍💻 (@IxoyeDesign) reported

    @jasonbahl Is that why Slack and Github have been down today?

  • dotuser Polly (@dotuser) reported

    Github's user content host is basically just spitting out 503 errors for networks in my region so that's fun.

  • Graphenes1 Graphenes (@Graphenes1) reported

    @tanoaksam ICE has a license for GitHub's enterprise server.
