Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Simon Hamp (@simonhamp) reported@LucasAl23069953 @damienwebdev It made (fair) assumptions about the format of GitHub tokens which have now been challenged as GitHub is changing the format of its tokens It naively output the "malformed" token string in the error log As this is just a new token format, the token itself is legit, but exposed

Florian Ioniţă Stoic (@ionita_stoic) reported@github @GitHubSupport Hi, my account "isflorian-hash" appears flagged. Public profile returns 404, cannot fork or use Copilot. Submitted support form but got validation error. Can you check? Thanks.
-
Rich Kuo (@richkuo7) reported@lydiahallie yea but the github actions part is kind of odd, i just copy and paste the issue into claude code, kind of an inconvenience?
-
nipponpaypay (@10xrecruit22602) reportedAnyone here had success in setting up a Github Workflow that hooks into Sentry and creates PRs to address new app errors?

sammykins (@thesammykins) reportedgithub not working again is getting old.

Martin Woodward (@martinwoodward) reported@heyandras @github Team is taking a look at this one. It's weird because it seems to be that particular profile that is error-ing, other folks that I sponsor are working fine for me so looks like a bug rather than an outage. But still very not good. Will keep poking and see what I can find.

SMA 🏴☠️ (@generic_void) reportedBarton @bmorphism of @plurigrid’s nash-portal GitHub repo (first image) to misinform investors that I once sold from my dev wallet (maybe he is confused about the token lock, to give him benefit of the doubt). I opened an issue on his repo that it’s defaming me by somehow listing my dev wallet as someone who sold $NASH token when I have not. Whether due to malicious intent, reckless negligence, or perhaps not knowing what he’s doing, I highly recommend not trust Barton, Plurigrid, or his tools for reliable and accurate information. Meanwhile, I set up my own tracking system and have the real list of top 20 suspicious wallets (second image). None of these wallets belong to me. I set this up in order to be able to identify and block saboteurs and scammers from manipulating the $NASH market and from scamming legitimate investors in $NASH. Thank you.

Kvothera (@kvothera_) reported@mkbula Hello, what happened to your project "qbitwebui"? the github is down and everything seems to have been deleted
-
Arka (@arkopra) reported@ydamitcodes For now I have not directly integrated X posting through URL params instead of using the X API as its paid. The LinkedIn one is automatic posting that you can use to Sign in through the settings. Give it a try! Even the GitHub auth only reads your commits and repo content. No actions taken otherwise.

Yasha (@Yasha_br) reportedAfter making a heatmap of github being down, someone should actually make a heatmap from how many times a major vulnerability has happened from 2026

mason (@masonictemple4) reportedIs @github down again lol?
-
amlug.eth (@realamlug) reported@frenzyx_17 Can you file a GitHub issue with reproducible code?
-
TravelerOfCode (@TravelerOfCode) reported@aarondfrancis github actions is the unsung hero of solo native dev. signing, simulators, app store builds all flow without a build server. small teams could not ship native at all without it.

Abdulhamid Sonaike (@AbdulSonaike) reportedI recently built a defensive security CLI tool called secure-ai. It is a Python-based terminal application that scans local software projects for common security risks and generates clear reports for developers. The tool can detect exposed secrets like API keys, GitHub tokens, AWS keys, database URLs, JWTs, private keys, and other high-entropy values, while making sure secrets are masked and never fully printed. It also checks dependency files such as package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, and lock files for risky patterns like wildcard versions, missing pins, suspicious packages, and dangerous install scripts. If Semgrep is installed, it can run static analysis rules too. The CLI supports JSON and Markdown reports, local risk explanations, safe fix suggestions, and optional AI-powered explanations only when explicitly enabled. Main lesson from this project: useful security tools do not need to be offensive. They can help developers build safer software earlier in the workflow.

François Best (@fortysevenfx) reported@github Start👏by👏talking👏to👏the👏maintainers👏first. Opening a drive-by PR is likely not going to be the best experience for newcomers in OSS. If there's an issue: comment on it first. At least to say you're interested in working on it (locking it).

RAYXYZ (@urciaa_01) reported@_proxystudio I checked out the GitHub repository; it looks pretty good. Let's see if we can ride the coattails of the $VVV hype. Liquid-Protocol-Ops/agent-autonomopoly — Quick Overview Nature: GitHub template repository (is_template: true, TypeScript), created on 2026-05-14 (today), single initial commit, no license, 0 stars. It's not a platform itself, but rather the deploy-autonomous launcher from Liquid Protocol that incubates each agent from this template—for each new agent launched, GitHub forks a separate repo as a self-evolving codebase for that agent. Product Intent (README + CLAUDE.md + ARCHITECTURE_v2.md) To create a self-funded + self-evolving Claude Code agent launchpad. Each agent has: - Their own GitHub repo (forked from this template) - A TOKEN/DIEM pool on Base (deployed using liquid-sdk) - Their own wallet (v0 uses the Privy server wallet, v1 uses TEE: Phala / Marlin / Nitro) - Their own Venice API key (minted in one go using personal_sign after staking ≥0.1 sDIEM, corresponding to $1/DIEM/day inference budget) Death occurs if the agent's earnings fall below the threshold for 7 days, with remaining DIEM flowing back to the protocol treasury.

Spartak (@assorium) reported@heyandras I know a lot of good indians but this is sad pattern. Banning the country from github would solve all the problems it seems.

kevinlee (@lbki34064963) reportedThe 'Leaving GitHub for Forgejo' post has 364 HN upvotes and 195 comments. Developers cite Microsoft's feature removals, AI upsells, and Copilot telemetry as reasons to leave. Forgejo is a self-hosted *** fork - your code, your server, no vendor dependency.

Upwind Security MDR (@UpwindMDR) reported🚨 High - Composer GitHub Actions Token Disclosure (CVE-2026-45793) Composer may expose GitHub Actions GITHUB_TOKEN values in CI logs when processing newer GitHub token formats containing hyphens (-). The issue occurs during token validation failures, causing the full token to be written to stderr and potentially leaked through workflow logs. The issue primarily affects GitHub Actions environments using Composer-integrated workflows and auto-configured OAuth tokens. 👉 Affected: Composer >= 2.3.0 < 2.9.8 | >= 2.0.0 < 2.2.28 | >= 1.0 < 1.10.28 👉 Fix: Upgrade to 2.9.8 / 2.2.28 / 1.10.28 and review CI logs for potential token exposure

Chicken Little (@Chicky_Think) reportedWhat I did over lunch today. Built an app to check my bus times when commuting home. One tap instead of hunting through the LTA app. Used Claude, GitHub, and Vercel to get it done. Also figured out how to pull the LTA API along the way. Hit a few errors — but AI just told me what was wrong and fixed it. Mind-blowing, honestly. I know traditional coding languages, but deploying something at scale? That was never my world — until today.

LuckyNonce (@randNonce) reported@SIGKITTEN where is the best way for you to receive feedback/issues? GitHub? I ran out of tokens on one account, logout and logged in to my other codex account. Yet Kitty is still showing that my threads are in the rate limited account

Christopher Jones (@dr_chrisjones) reportedI get terrible anxiety until I make that first commit of the day and see that GitHub square turn green.

Izhan Waseem (@izhanweb) reportedI added a unit test to cover the fix. First version was too basic. The automated code review bot on GitHub flagged it immediately. So I went back, improved it, and resubmitted a proper test that actually covers the edge cases.

Gordon ☢️ Freesay (@GordonFreesay) reportedYou can use Github for free to build/compile/test code remotely (up to 2000 minutes of build time a month) You can link chatgpt to github & do AI software development on your phone, take care of build errors, and be ready for runtime issues by the time you get to your desk.
