GitHub had a major outage, but now says its services are ‘fully operational’

GitHub, the popular code repository and developer platform, has recovered after dealing with some major issues on Wednesday that affected its website and many GitHub services. The company has rolled back changes to its database infrastructure that apparently caused the issues and says that services are now “fully operational,” according to a 8:26PM ET status message. GitHub was acquired by Microsoft in 2018.

When we first published this story, navigating to the main GitHub website showed an error message that said “no server is currently available to service your request,” but the website was working again soon after. (The error message also featured an image of an angry unicorn.) GitHub’s report of the incident also listed problems with things like pull requests, GitHub Pages, Copilot, and the GitHub API.

Things seem to have escalated rapidly. GitHub’s first status message was at 7:11PM ET, but in the minutes after, GitHub reported issues with several of its services. The issues appear to have been widespread, with Downdetector showing more than 10,000 user reports of problems and that the problems were reported quite suddenly. At 7:13PM, internet monitoring service NetBlocks also posted that GitHub was “experiencing international outages.”

GitHub didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.

Update, August 14th: GitHub says it has recovered after the major outage.
