Starting mai to mujhe lag rha tha ke mera internet hi chala gya hai shyd, lekin mene alg alg device pr Github ko check kiya to pta chala.
Hello Guys My name is Aamir raza mai bhi aap sbki trh ek web developer hu, Article ko poora jror pdhe mene bht mehnt se likha hai or comments mai jror btaye or share kre apne friends, family ya jo hrr time Github pr hi lge rhete hai.
17 August 2026 ko dopahar ke baad GitHub par ek bada worldwide outage aaya jisne duniya bhar ke developers ki CI/CD pipelines, code reviews aur AI coding tools ko rok diya. Agar aap bhi GitHub access nahi kar pa rahe, to aap akele nahi hain — Downdetector par pehle do ghanton mein 15,000 se zyada user reports aa chuke hain.
Yeh outage 13:40 UTC par shuru hua jab GitHub ne kaha ki wo kuch services ki performance problems investigate kar raha hai. Ek ghante ke andar andar API, Actions, Webhooks, Issues aur Pull Requests sab affect ho gaye. 14:31 UTC tak Copilot bhi down ho gaya.
Kya kya toota hai – ek nazar mein
GitHub ki status page ke hisaab se abhi yeh haalat hai:
| Service | Haalat | 90-din ka uptime |
|---|---|---|
| API Requests | Major Outage | 99.87% |
| Issues | Major Outage | 99.94% |
| Pull Requests | Major Outage | 99.94% |
| Actions | Major Outage | 99.39% |
| Copilot | Major Outage | 99.89% |
| Git Operations | Degraded | 99.99% |
| Webhooks | Degraded | 99.99% |
| Pages | Degraded | 99.65% |
| Packages | Chal raha hai | 100.0% |
| Codespaces | Chal raha hai | 99.97% |
| Copilot AI Model Providers | Chal raha hai | 99.88% |
Paanch services Major Outage mein hain, teen degraded hain, aur teen abhi bhi chal rahi hain. Actions pehle se hi sabse kam uptime wali service thi — 99.39% — baaki services ke comparison mein.
Error rates kitni hain
- Web aur API traffic: lagbhag 20% requests fail ho rahi hain — yaani har paanch mein se ek request kaam nahi kar rahi
- Archive downloads aur raw content: lagbhag 50% failure rate — yeh sabse zyada kharab haalat hai
- SAML/OIDC login:
- SCIM provisioning: naye accounts banna band ho gaya hai
50% download failure rate ka matlab hai ki GitHub se files fetch karne wale Docker builds, Go module downloads, aur npm installs sab intermittently fail ho rahe hain. Actions ke saath milkar, CI/CD pipelines jo bhi tarike se GitHub ko touch karti hain, sab unreliable ho chuki hain.
Enterprise customers ka sabse bura haal
Jo companies GitHub Enterprise Cloud use karti hain unke liye yeh outage sabse zyada painful hai. SAML aur OIDC authentication dono down hone ke kaaran single sign-on wale organizations ke developers login hi nahi kar pa rahe. SCIM provisioning bhi band ho chuka hai, jisse naye accounts create nahi ho rahe aur existing accounts update nahi ho pa rahe connected systems mein.
GitHub Actions ka Major Outage hone ke kaaran automated builds, test runs aur deployment pipelines sab ruk gayi hain. Jo teams webhooks use karke Slack ya doosre tools ko notifications bhejti hain, unhe delayed ya dropped events milenge jab tak platform stable nahi ho jata.
Kya abhi bhi kaam kar raha hai
- Git Operations: degraded hai lekin abhi bhi kaam kar raha hai. SSH se clone aur push karna abhi possible ho sakta hai
- Packages, Pages, Codespaces: in services par koi asar nahi pada hai
- Copilot AI Model Providers: underlying AI infrastructure theek hai — problem GitHub ki apni authorization aur routing layer mein hai
Agar aap normally HTTPS se GitHub use karte hain, to SSH pe switch karna try kar sakte hain. Lekin yeh guarantee nahi hai ki kaam karega — yeh is baat pe depend karta hai ki aapka request kaunsi infrastructure tak pahunchta hai.
Kaaran abhi tak pata nahi
GitHub ne abhi tak yeh nahi bataya ki outage kyun hua. Shuru mein unhone kaha ki root cause ki investigation chal rahi hai. Baad mein language badal gayi — ab wo “mitigations perform kar rahe hain” keh rahe hain. Iska matlab hota hai ki engineers ne kuch cheez throttle ya disable kar di hai, lekin abhi tak yeh samajh nahi aaya ki woh cheez tooti kyun.
Failure ka pattern bata raha hai ki poora platform nahi toota hai. Error rates partial hain — web traffic pe 20% aur content downloads pe 50%. Yeh pattern tab hota hai jab infrastructure ka ek hissa — ek shard, ek cluster, ya ek region — affect ho. Isliye kuch users ko GitHub normal chal raha dikh raha hai aur kuch ko pull request page bhi load nahi ho raha.
Puri timeline
Sab waqt UTC, 17 August 2026:
| Waqt (UTC) | Kya hua |
|---|---|
| 13:40 | GitHub ne incident open kiya — “impacted performance” ki report mili |
| 13:41 | API Requests degraded |
| 13:42 | Actions degraded |
| 13:44 | Webhooks degraded |
| 13:45 | Pehli baar number bataya — lagbhag 20% error rate |
| 14:04 | Scope badha — 50% download failure rate saamne aayi |
| 14:24 | SAML/OIDC, SCIM aur Team Sync bhi affect hue |
| 14:31 | Copilot degraded |
| 14:45-14:58 | PRs, Issues, Actions, Webhooks — sab degraded availability pe aa gaye |
| 14:58 | GitHub bola — mitigations apply kar rahe hain |
| 15:10 | Pages degraded |
| 15:21 | Git Operations degraded — clone/push bhi affect hue |
| 16:16 | Latest update — error rates wahi hain, root cause abhi bhi unknown |
August 2026 mein yeh pehla outage nahi hai
Aaj ka incident akela nahi hai. August mahine mein GitHub ka record bahut kharab raha hai:
- 6 August: Actions aur Pages 10 ghante se zyada down rahe. Webhooks throttle hue, jobs queues mein atke, Copilot coding agent poore incident ke dauraan band raha
- 13 August: Webhooks mein ek chhota disruption aaya, lagbhag ek ghante ka
- 17 August: aaj ka incident — abhi tak chal raha hai
February 2026 mein to haalat aur bhi buri thi — paanch alag incidents 12 ghanton mein aaye the. Community uptime trackers ne us mahine GitHub ki availability lagbhag 87% record ki, jo 99.9% standard se bahut neeche hai.
GitHub ne April 2026 mein ek naya status-reporting framework launch kiya tha jismein har service ke liye alag-alag severity tiers aur 90-din ke uptime numbers diye gaye hain. Is wajah se aaj ka outage pehle ke disruptions se zyada visible hai users ko, chahe underlying reliability problems naye nahi hain.
Abhi kya karein
- Agar aapko code push karna hai to SSH try karein — HTTPS abhi kaam nahi kar raha bahut jagah
- Actions ke stuck jobs ko abhi cancel mat karein — jab services recover hongi to shayad khud resume ho jayein
- Agar aapke builds GitHub ke raw URLs se dependencies fetch karte hain, to local cache ya mirror use karein
- Force-push mat karein — outage ke dauraan force-push karne se merge conflicts aate hain jo baad mein suljhane mein ghanta lagta hai
- GitHub ki live incident page yahan dekhein: githubstatus.com
GitHub ne abhi tak recovery ka time estimate nahi diya hai. Services restore hone ke baad ek postmortem report aane ki umeed hai, jo unki practice rahi hai bade incidents ke baad.

Update 1: (11:42 AM EDT / 15:42 UTC): – Github ne btaya ki unki poori team fixes or mitigations ko apply krna start kr chuki hai, Lekin abhi bhi error rates kam nhi ho ska hai, Web or API traffic pr abhi bhi 20% errors aa rhe hai, or archieve/raw repository downloads hone mai 50% failure rate pr atke hue hai.
