GitHub Experiences Widespread Partial Outage

High error rates across web, API, repository downloads and CI tools have prompted mitigations during an active engineering investigation.

Overview

  • GitHub confirmed it was investigating a broad service disruption on Monday after users reported failures across the site, API and developer workflows.
  • The company’s status page shows roughly 20% error rates for web and API traffic and about 50% error rates for archive and raw repository downloads.
  • Authentication systems such as SAML and OIDC plus enterprise sync tools (SCIM and Team Sync) are affected, creating access and organization-sync problems for some teams.
  • Developer-facing features including GitHub Actions and Copilot have degraded availability while Git Operations, Packages, Pages and Codespaces remain listed as operational and engineers apply mitigations.
  • The outage can halt or delay builds, tests, deployments and AI-assisted coding for organizations that rely on GitHub and may force teams to use cached artifacts or alternate code hosts until the investigation identifies a cause.
