Degraded Git Operations over SSHResolved Aug 24, 2026 · -3919 minResolved

On August 21, 2026, between 14:00 and 14:07 UTC, dotcom Git operations over SSH were degraded. Successful Git operations over SSH fell by more than 95% for during the peak impact window, making clone, fetch, or push over SSH effectively unavailable to most users for approximately four minutes. Git operations over HTTPS were not affected. The incident was caused by a software defect in our load-balancing infrastructure that was triggered by a configuration change. The defect only occurred when connections passed through multiple layers of load balancers running the new configuration, which meant it was not detected during canary testing. We mitigated the incident by rolling back the configuration change. We are adding regression coverage for multi-layer load-balancer configurations and improving monitoring and alerting for Git operations over SSH to reduce our time to detection and mitigation of similar issues in the future.

Elevated errors on Fable 5 due to upstream providerResolved Aug 24, 2026 · 46 minResolved

This incident has been resolved. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we addressed this issue. A detailed root cause analysis will be shared as soon as it is available. --- [2026-08-24T07:12:33.362Z] (investigating) We are experiencing degraded availability for the Fable model in Copilot products and IDE surfaces. This is due to an issue with the upstream model provider. While we work with them to resolve the issue, we recommend choosing another model or selecting 'Auto' to continue using Copilot. --- [2026-08-24T07:12:05.431Z] (investigating) We are investigating reports of degraded availability for Copilot AI Model Providers

GitHub Status FAQ

Is GitHub down right now?

PulsAPI checks GitHub every 60 seconds. The verdict at the top of this page comes from the latest poll of the official GitHub status feed and refreshes automatically, so you are not looking at a stale cached answer.

What should I do if GitHub is not working?

Check the component list on this page first to see if your failure matches a known outage. If it does, you can report the issue for other engineers, follow the incident timeline for vendor updates, and run any fallback your app supports until GitHub recovers.

How do I check GitHub uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks GitHub uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is 99.53%. A free PulsAPI account unlocks the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline for GitHub.

How fast does PulsAPI detect GitHub outages?

PulsAPI polls the official GitHub status page every 60 seconds and usually delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds after detection. That is often faster than someone on your team notices on their own.

Does PulsAPI track individual GitHub components?

Yes. PulsAPI monitors 12 individual GitHub components, so you can see which service or region is affected instead of a generic "service degraded" banner.

Can I get alerts when GitHub goes down?

Yes. Create a PulsAPI account and subscribe to GitHub. Email alerts are included on the free Starter plan. Paid plans add Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks whenever GitHub status changes.

How do I report an issue with GitHub to the community?

Click "Report an issue" at the top of this page, pick the issue type and severity, and optionally add your region and a short note. Reports are anonymous and help other engineers spot GitHub problems early. Official status pages often lag real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Is there a free way to monitor GitHub?

Yes. PulsAPI's Starter plan includes up to 25 monitored services with Slack and email alerts, and the 30-day free trial requires no credit card. You can monitor GitHub alongside up to 24 other services at pulsapi.com/signup.
