Tell HN: GitHub Is Experiencing Degraded Performance

Is github down? Does the day end in y?

We're moving to self hosted Gitea. It's never been easier to do devops with the help of LLMs. I cannot believe how flaky GitHub is.

incident was just created - https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/zkxwbgr0cnmx

Well I was dumped out of Github Copilot as this issue started, and haven't been able to get back in. Seems like a slightly strange thing to be connected, but feasible.

Yes it is https://downdetector.com/status/github/

Seems to affect web as well. Currently working on a PR and now it says "Merge status cannot be loaded"

Not sure if related, but claude seems to be down for me too.

Same here. Just as I was going to push out a release

It's all green which means it's working. Ignore the unicorn error on every page.

edit: After 5-10 minutes they got around to opening an incident and (apparently manually?) marking the API as having 'degraded performance'.

Clones, repo browsing etc are all working.

/pull/:id/changes is not working, but /pull/:id.diff _is_. It seems parts of the API is also ok? some gh commands I tried worked.

Files changed works on the mobile app somehow. I guess a particular api version or something is down.

Anyway if someone needs files changed and merge status, check the mobile app. Past actions are also loading on that.
