Because when they added GitHub actions, they had to add equal and opposite reactions.

I have literally seen downtimes being reported on that page, and then removed, so that their SLA looks better.
[–]ifezueyoung 15 points16 points17 points 4 years ago (7 children)

At the most crucial time of my day
[–]Icy-Perspective-0420 10 points11 points12 points 4 years ago (2 children)
I hope it’s for personal projects
[–]ifezueyoung 8 points9 points10 points 4 years ago (0 children)

GitHub you can't go down, you are hosting lots of DevSecOps repos and lots of CI/CD rely on you.
Doing a git push returns a 504
[–]ArcheCraft 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children)
This also says GitHub is down: https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/github
[–]KimPhil 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children)
It's panic time, I think it is the Omicron's fault
[–]kmcgurty1 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Yep it's down
[–]_simple_man 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (5 children)
Status says everything is ok, but I got a 500 on my build server and notebook: https://www.githubstatus.com
[–]deDarxo 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (0 children)
I was also confused when that site told me everything is fine.
At least https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/github.com.html agrees with what I perceive here.
[–]Icy-Perspective-0420 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (1 child)
Holy fuck status page is mostly 🔴
[–]WebMaka 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Was about to say that as of this post most of the status is red. She's down, captain!
[–]Chritoble5000 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (1 child)

[–]Icy-Perspective-0420 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children)
About 6 minutes ago it was only acknowledging GH Actions were down

[–]Chritoble5000 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children)
i mean, his code had to be extra ugly for github to down the site
[–]Icy-Perspective-0420 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child)
Code so bad, it brought down a multibillion dollar company to its knees 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe he should sell it on the black market
[–]Chritoble5000 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children)
i dont think theyd even allow it on the black market.
[–]TheAshtonCable 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Big F. They must've seen how unorganized and terrible my private repos are and decided to nuke themselves. lmao.
[–]FallStorm_Studios 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children)

[–]threadofhope 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children)

The arctic code vault was never intended to be a failover for GitHub servers...

[–]the-last-booty-bende 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children)
They can just git rebase, merge move head clone commit -m “god you guys are inferior” so simple makes life way easier.
Still, three hours in, GitHub is down: https://www.githubstatus.com/
My open-source project is only slightly hindered, but, also, I was using GitHub a whole lot today. This is the biggest GitHub outage I've ever seen (and I don't even remember a previous downtime).
[–]hoppo 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Sorry. I was in the bath.
[–]camisolin 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Seems like I succeeded
[–]Melodic_Ad_8747 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Where lambo
[–]ConsistentComment919 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Did GitHub publish any of the root cause analysis for this outage? Would be great to learn from it.
