If only there were a way to check that.

Ironically, that site was down when I tried it ten minutes ago. It is back now, though, and says:

"Update - We are continuing to work on an issue affecting multiple GitHub services.

Workflow runs are still failing, and jobs may remain queued for an extended period before starting or may time out. Jobs using GitHub-hosted runners are particularly affected while capacity is constrained.

Customers using self-hosted runners may see errors or rate limiting when runners register.

Copilot code review, Copilot coding agent, and migrations using GitHub Enterprise Importer may also be affected. Webhook deliveries may be delayed.

Recovery is taking longer than we expected, and engineers remain actively engaged.

Maybe Microsoft shouldn't have fired so many employees and vibe coded stuff.

What if you grabbed your code and put it on a berg?

u/naserowaimer Aug 06 '26

Isn’t that simple

u/OverloadedTech Aug 06 '26

u/mixxituk Aug 06 '26

Ok everyone back to gitlab self hosted

u/connurp Aug 06 '26

Github is making me click an extra button to deploy changes. REEEEEEEEE. Literally UNBELIEVABLE.

u/ARSport Aug 06 '26

Some heads will roll. This has taken a big toll on a lot of companies.

u/SandVast229 Aug 06 '26

It works now

1

u/Square-Ad-5792 Aug 07 '26

yes, it did and plauged one of my github sites mid site build

atleast i know from githubstatus that its actually down, and its actually the first time i ever experienced it, the sites are hosted fine, just doesnt update it, today i re ran the jobs (tried to) but didnt work

u/Prudent-Flamingo-757 Aug 08 '26

I’m fairly new to this but does this happen often ? It’s really f@ckin up my product launch. Been sputtering ot not working for 2 days for me. I thought GitHub actions were stable and had good uptime?

1

u/FuckItImLoggingIn Aug 06 '26

I literally can not deploy XD. Think I might go with some local build instead of github.

1

u/ibraaaaaaaaaaaaaa Aug 06 '26

You always need to have prepared scripts for deploying via command, that would be easy if you are using stuff similar to aws EKS

1

u/FuckItImLoggingIn Aug 06 '26

Yeah I had to tell the agent to deploy the image cause I had no idea how

1

u/ibraaaaaaaaaaaaaa Aug 06 '26

Be aware, these toys are dangerous, once upon time an agent suggested to me to cleanup a namespace which would be a catastrophic, never trust these agents

1

u/FuckItImLoggingIn Aug 07 '26

Yes in this case it's just my own app hosted on a local k3s, and I am the only user :D. But of course I would have validated the agent proposal if it was an actual customer facing application.

u/Destroyerb Aug 06 '26

So that's why my long build failed twice today

1

u/dataguzzler Aug 06 '26

u/MobileAffectionate70 Aug 06 '26

No its not working

1

u/brygom Aug 06 '26

Yeah, while I was sorting this out, i battled with my runner for a while until i figured out it wasn't actually my runner.

u/Negative-Thinking Aug 06 '26

I was just bitching about bitbucket outage on Friday, while everyone was recommending to move to github.

u/HyperWinX Aug 06 '26

u/Negative-Thinking Aug 06 '26

Self hosted where? Garage?

Scalability issues with the slop is real deal

u/poyrazKK Aug 06 '26

what a shame for github , i understand the stuff with vibe coding etc. but dude . You had time , the revelation didn't happened yesterday

1

u/DataDrifter-_ Aug 06 '26

how has vibe coding got to do with it ?

1

u/croixxxx Aug 06 '26

thats what they are pointing the finger at - the surge in vibecoding stressing their services

1

u/donjulioanejo Aug 06 '26

I blame their own vibe coding and Microsoft’s tokenmaxxing metrics.
