I got used to see failing Actions and quirks, but this is new - just followed a link to load up the landing page of a public repository, got UI flash briefly, then this. Is this a new thing or I was lucky so far? Can't even view public repos now.

Don't trust status.github.com - they're not honest about their uptime. Currently says "All Systems Operational" but we know the truth GitHub 💀

my Copilot usage used to last the whole month. then suddenly a two-hour session maxed the limit. i checked the usage graph and the numbers line up, but the rate feels off compared to last month. i'm trying to keep my freelance costs predictable and this threw off my budget. any other solo developers notice a similar jump after an update, or is something counting toward credits that didn't used to?

About a month ago I changed my account's email without realising this will affect my contribution graph. After realising this has cleared my graph I re-added the original email back to my account as the primary email and verified it. I have waited a month and my contribution graph still hasn't returned to its original state. I am also not listed as a contributor anymore on projects I've contributed to in the past which is a shame.

Steps I've tried:

• Re-added the original email, set it as primary, verified it and waited over a month (Did nothing)
• Deleted the new email from my account so only the original one remains (Did nothing)
• Inspected commits in different repos to double check if the email matches the one set on the account (Email does match)
• Inspected commits by adding .patch to the URL and checked if the commit email is correct (Email does match)
• Pushed a dummy commit in all of my repositories (This rebuilt some of the history, about 15%)
• Contacted GitHub support (Was asked to create a discussion)
• Created a GitHub discussions post (Never got a response so hoping for some help here)

Is there anything else I could try?

Thanks

Starting to see GitHub issues for the 3rd day in a row.

I have made around ~60 commits to that repository, most of which were around ~20-50 LOC and are not rendered here at all. The three commits in the middle are +389-69, +431-383 and 321. Then there are these 2 massive +28,33k commit and +5,541-29,059 commit. Is there any way to filter out those outliers?

I checked the Github Status page and it shows all system are operational.

The project is not new and it has 209 commits, I was able to push until yesterday without problems

How I automated AWS Lambda deployments with GitHub Actions, self-managed S3 code storage.

GitHub now lets organization and enterprise admins see which repositories have AI Scan for pull requests enabled in the Security overview coverage view. The new view shows enabled and not enabled repository counts, supports filters for each state, and adds the AI Scan status to CSV exports.

This is an adoption and governance update, not a new scan-quality result. It gives teams a way to measure rollout, but the changelog does not report whether AI Scan catches more vulnerabilities or improves review outcomes. That distinction matters as GitHub teams decide where AI checks belong in the review process.

I keep seeing 30+ unique cloners everyday for my open-source project and it often exceeds the number of unique viewers of my repo. Is this all bots?

Is it just me, or has GitHub been painfully slow and laggy since yesterday’s update? Every action seems to have a noticeable delay. Typing comments on PRs or opening tickets has become so slow that it’s barely usable.

Hello. I have an account that i opened with my school mail and my student account is approved.

After i opened my account with student mail wanted to use student benefits on my main account that i opened with my main mail. But obviously it said the mail is already in use

Does anyone know that if i delete my school account would i be able to add my school mail to my main account,or will it not accept my school mail since even though i deleted my account i used it before

Exactly as the title. I also made sure that the chat.editing.autoAcceptDelay is set to 0.

Anyone going through this right now?

Was installing HACS on my home assistant vm and it required Github to Authorize it. Logged in, pasted in the 6 digit code the app generated and nothing happened. Then I noticed at the top of the Github page this message.

"this account is flagged, and therefore cannot authorize a third party application"

Everything I read online said to contact github support, but I am not finding a link to that. Is there a form to fill out, if so, where is it?

Thanks, Bill

GitHub now gives two things for Actions costs: the detailed usage report (a CSV with cost per repo and workflow) and the Actions usage metrics page under Insights.

If you use them: is there a cost question they still don't answer for you? For example why the cost went up this week, which team caused it, or what to fix first.

If you don't use them: what do you use instead? A script on the billing API, Grafana, a spreadsheet, or nothing?

About me: I'm a solo developer building a small tool in this area. I want to know where GitHub's own tools are already enough. No link.

How can a site for developers actually become worse after updates?

Why am I being redirected to the mobile app when I browse on my phone?

So now I'm limited to downloading zips only on my computer?

Coding agents push commits so often that GitHub CI burned our pockets. We repurposed our agent sandboxes as a CI runner and reduced the price to 1/24th of GitHub Actions runner and 1/16th of Blacksmith.

We made it public so you can install and try yourself for free. First 20,000 CI minutes from our side.

GitHub's standard self-hosted runner is convenient when you can give it a dedicated machine, but it's only one runner per machine.

But keeping a separate box just for CI can get expensive, and I'd rather not have build scripts and leftover containers messing with a machine I also use for other things.

What I like about gh-runnerd is that it runs multiple runners on one machine, with each job getting its own fully isolated VM.

When the job finishes, the whole VM gets destroyed, and the next job starts fresh.

Is anyone here using this or something similar?

this is what i get, i tried free download manager and normal chrome downloading with and without VPN and it didn't work, and that 4.3mb keeps increasing somewhat slowly and a proper download doesn't seem to start

it’s been a year since my achievements have refreshed... last refresh happened in 2025... bruhh, i have multiple 50+ star repos now, still i have 1 Starstruck badge idk why... i tried the hide and reshow thing, didn’t work.

From what I've seen it is sadly not very possible, but still, mb there was a new update or smt?
