Incident with Git Operations, Issues and Pull Requests [resolved]
- floriangosse 3y agoBased on their status page it seems to affect only issues and pull requests … for now.
- rafamct 3y agoThe main page throws a 500. Status page must be wrong/delayed
- jeppester 3y agoI cannot see my notifications nor deploy an app on heroku.
- floriangosse 3y agoFor me even the repository view doesn't work.
- sen 3y agoMy (and all) profile homepages give a 500 server error, but I can access all repos themselves directly if I already know the URL. A bit odd.
- auscompgeek 3y agoI can't access any of my repos in the web UI by direct URL.
- rapnie 3y agoNoticed as well. It is up again now (Netherlands). Edit: Oops. Not up. Repo's aren't shown (error 500) sometimes. Refresh helps (maybe due to choice of load balancer as other comments refer to).
- super_linear 3y agoPull request eventually succeeded. Just "retry until the load balancer gives you a good node"
- progbits 3y agoWell behaved services will enter exponential backoff when seeing errors, but humans will just keep spamming F5 as much as they can :)
- martiuk 3y agoFirst day back from a break and GitHub is down, classic.
- jamil7 3y agoYour break has now been extended.
- floriangosse 3y agoRepo view just came back in this moment. Let's see how that evolves.
- floriangosse 3y agoNow the incident page states that the Git Operations are degraded as well.
- jeppester 3y agoHow stupid are we all to rely so heavily on this single point of failure which is so unstable? I cannot count the times it's been down or had temporary instability. It's easy to draw the conclusion that it happened after MS took over, but I honestly no longer remember how it was before.
- rvz 3y agoIt is every month, something in Github (especially GitHub Actions) goes down. The last time this happened was less than a month ago. [0] [1] At this point, It is so unreliable that if I was to bet anyone that something in GitHub would go down next month, I will win each time. Guaranteed.

- acatton 3y agoIt was worse before MS took over. But their status page displayed live metrics, it was more transparent, so people were less frustrated. As opposed to now, where the status dashboard is updated by a human. IMHO, the issue is not the unstability. I'm really concerned that so much of our software infrastructure relies on one single service owned by Microsoft.
- gladiatr72 3y agoYou seem to have had a different pre ms github experience than I. Github didn't really embrace the Suck til it foisted Actions on the world. Gitlab had a lot of downtime for a few years (shockingly mostly to do with CI related mechs).
- melx 3y agoIt was worse but I'm not sure people were less frustrated. Some outages back in 2012-2014 periods were so long that our dev team went for few pints to nearest pub.

- arnorhs 3y agogh cli interface still works fine
- badrequest 3y agoAll green lights now. :)
- koito17 3y agoEarlier in the day GitHub actions went down as soon as I had pushed some changes and wanted a deployment to run. Talk about bad timing. It's a bit strange seeing GitHub having problems again in such short time. But to be fair, GitHub's scale is insanely huge. I'm surprised they can keep everything running fine 99% of the time.
- nikanj 3y agoWe picked Bitbucket instead of Github many years ago, basically because the person setting up the repos already knew Jira I’ve been very happy about that past decision lately, Bitbucket is just…boring. It works, rarely gets in the way, and the company doesn’t really partake in politics in the tech scene
- DoctorOW 3y agoI've missed this, I guess. What Github politics?
- dijit 3y agoIts distant memories now, but there was a time that they did a lot to make left leaning ideology look good, likely setting back the movement. For example they mentioned publicly that “its hard to even interview a white male” and that “white women are the biggest barriers to [progressive policies] in tech”. There was also the whole kerfuffle with badgering repo maintainers to remove words such as blacklist, and (very minorly) the push for main instead of master (and the understandable frustration to everyone not bothering with identity politics). Honestly, I was following it at the time and I was greatly irritated at the time, now I’m just tired of it all and refuse to engage with the topic in any way. I can understand why others feel the same. Github has not done anything irritating in quite some time though, so its moot in my opinion.
- DoctorOW 3y agoI think I've seen main instead of master, but I don't even recall that being a political issue. Although, I'm biased by my empiricism which means I generally only keep track of actual policy rather than "culture war" issues.

- willtemperley 3y agoUse git-bug. It never goes down, is about as private as possible, and the issue tracker UI is actually really pleasant. https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug
- HeckFeck 3y agoOr https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki if you don't mind learning some new commands.
- cmeacham98 3y agoMost professional software engineers need to communicate with managers, PMs, support, sales, etc - and "download this obscure software and learn how to use git" is not an acceptable answer for how to access the issue tracker.
- willtemperley 3y agoYou're right, it's definitely not for corpo-clone engineers and more for those of us that like to be in control.
- cmeacham98 3y agoI guess only us "corpo-clone engineers" care about users being able to report bugs without learning how to use the command line and git.
- willtemperley 3y agoThere's a webui which is quite good at reporting bugs, even when GitHub is down. I guess you didn't even look at the software before commenting.
- cmeacham98 3y agoI did look at the software - the web UI requires running it locally, they specifically call out hosting it publicly being impossible.
- substation13 3y agoHow much of GitHub stack is still Ruby? Is it an appropriate language at this scale?
- jamil7 3y agoI don't think it really comes down to language choice.
- dustedcodes 3y agoHonest question, are any Hubers here able to shed some light on how GitHub has evolved since the Microsoft acquisition? I remember seeing tweets that suggested that a lot of the people from the Azure DevOps organisation have been moved to GitHub, whilst a lot of former GitHub employees have been sacked or left and that things like GitHub Actions have been migrated to .NET. Is there any truth to this? Also is GitHub being slowly pushed to use Azure as the underlying infrastructure? A lot of people say that outages have increased since the takeover and others say they have become less. I don't know but it certainly feels like a lot recently.
- ryandvm 3y agoMan, they ought to put CoPilot in charge of their ops
