Nördnytt! 🤓Incident with Pull Requests, Git Operations and Issues
- a-squirrel-comm - 9252 sekunder sedanIt looks like today there was maintenance scheduled to deprecate support for certain categories of SSH keys: https://github.blog/changelog/2026-09-22-security-improvemen...
> November 4, 2026: We’ll have a brownout of the removal of the ssh-rsa signature type (i.e., RSA keys using SHA-1) and the diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256 key exchange algorithm.
I guess something went sideways.

- - > i wake up - - | | | V github has an outage - eknkc - 12086 sekunder sedanOur deploys are tied to GitHub actions and it is becoming a liability at this point. What alternatives do people use? I mean for FOSS there are some decent stuff but we need a reliable provider for private repos.
- thesdev - 12929 sekunder sedanFinally a GitHub outage during European workday. Yaaay.
- cashbreaker - 10916 sekunder sedanI was thinking I'm going crazy with me ssh keys not working on both of my machines.
- sognetic - 12601 sekunder sedanCan't even pull no more using my key. That's a new low, I'm used to the website being janky nowadays but this is seriously essential
- alper - 2039 sekunder sedanSame old same old.
What were the 60'000 people exiting Microsoft doing if not improving Github?
- igleria - 12322 sekunder sedanCan't they just... sell github back like when the germans sold the nuclear plant back to mr burns?
- marvstazar - 9724 sekunder sedanPretty good timing now that Rails has released a security update :|

- fauzanhilmi - 12019 sekunder sedanFor a moment I thought my ssh key got breached. Fricking hell Github!
- misnome - 9832 sekunder sedanAt this point, even when there isn't an incident, push/pull have been so unreliable as to fail about 30% of the time.
I can live with the occasional outage but this is a constant problem.
- swe_dima - 8448 sekunder sedanTemporary workaround is to do
git config --global url."https://github.com/".insteadOf git@github.com:
so it pushes / pulls using HTTPS
when things are back to normal run:
git config --global --unset url."https://github.com/".insteadOf
- feukon - 10750 sekunder sedanThe day GitHub will no longer be free is approaching... they just can't support the abnormal amount of things being pushed rn
- fredsted - 9031 sekunder sedanJust set up a Gitea instance, pushed my code and switched my deployment script to it. Took 30 minutes. Github pulls still aren't working.

- grishka - 10041 sekunder sedanI managed to push a commit over ssh but then the client threw an error before the push fully completed. I can see the commit on the web, but my client still thinks it isn't pushed. And now when I try to fetch I get "permission denied" after a long wait, which is scary. I first thought something got hacked.
Maybe they need a better AI model for their vibe coding. That'll fix everything, right? At least that's what my friends keep telling me when I say that the free LLMs I played around with a bit are incredibly dumb.

- dude250711 - 11452 sekunder sedanThese days, perhaps, normal undisrupted operation should start counting as an incident...
- esher - 12842 sekunder sedanAgain and again?
- rvz - 9733 sekunder sedanAnother incident. Last time we had one was 5 days ago [0]
It's up to you if you want more of this instability. Perhaps you should consider a self-hosted alternative.

- malikolivier - 9322 sekunder sedanGitHub outages can be a drain on productivity. If your stack is pulling artifacts from GitHub, and this consistently fails during GitHub outage, you can consider having a file-cache in between.
Some of our customers unexpectedly started using the service we're running as a file-cache around GitHub to mitigate GitHub outages.
We wrote about this use case in our blog: https://www.stablebuild.com/blog/protect-your-builds-from-gi...
