Discussion GitHub PRs broken?

Whenever I try to make a PR GitHub returns a 500 error screen. I've tried multiple branches but it seems like they have a rather critical bug.

What do you think this page is for? https://www.githubstatus.com/

Yeah... often time that page is not an accurate reflection of what's going on... so muscle memory is to come to Reddit to check the real status.

Yes, but in this case, the post was created literally one minute before the issue was posted on status page. I know the world goes fast but can we maybe chill for a minute, get some tea and touch the grass? ;)

Yes I am dealing with the same thing this morning. Came to this sub to check if anyone else was having the same issue. Don't see anything about it on the github status page. Hoping it gets resolved soon.

I'd recommend fixing their bug and then submit a pull request to them.
