Microsoft-owned code hosting platform GitHub began experiencing a widespread service outage on July 28, 2025, at 16:50 UTC. The disruption has affected multiple core functionalities, including but not limited to Git operations, API requests, pull requests, and issue tracking.
As of the time of writing, these services remain partially non-operational. According to logs on the GitHub Status page, the engineering team has been experimenting with various remediation strategies, though with limited success thus far. Restoration efforts are still actively underway.
Encouragingly, some functionalityβsuch as Issues, API calls, and Pull Requestsβhas begun to stabilize. Currently, approximately 4% of requests are still failing, indicating that 96% are now processing correctly. Users encountering issues are advised to retry operations as functionality gradually returns.
This incident stands out for both its scale and prolonged duration, strongly suggesting an internal system anomaly, possibly a recursive fault or deadlock. GitHub has pledged to release a full post-incident report once recovery is complete, which should shed light on the root cause behind this significant disruption.
