Summary

On Monday at 3:46 pm UTC, GitHub.com experienced a 41-minute service disruption due to a logic error introduced in the deployment pipeline, which subsequently affected a later deployment and destabilized several internal systems, complicating recovery efforts. Although the incident temporarily degraded some services, all GitHub services have since returned to normal with no data loss. GitHub is conducting a thorough investigation to understand the contributing factors and intends to share the findings with the community in an effort to maintain trust and improve reliability, acknowledging the significant impact of availability issues on its global user base.
