These outages are also a good test of how much local resilience teams actually built. My guess is most shops are much more dependent on GitHub than they like to admit.

Well I suppose they are finding out if you lay off too many people the IP of how the system works goes out the door with them.

Once that 10x developer velocity from AI kicks in, I'm sure github stability improves. Did you know AI finally makes it economical to fix all the little bugs?

I definitely have better uptime hosting my own gitea instance. It's faster too. It's basically a knock off GitHub. Plus with privacy concerns, I'm just happier overall. Easy setup, all I did was deploy the helm chart.

I wondered. We'd seen for most of today that Actions were slow to trigger, I had at least one that was just missed, it felt like something was definitely off but the status was green all day until this.

Just cancelled my GitHub Copilot Pro+ year subscription. Removal of Opus 4.6 stung, but the repeated continued downtime makes it unusable for me. Very disappointed.

No fuss instant refund of my unused subscription (£160) appreciated.

Doesn’t GitHub Copilot Pro+ only have month-to-month payment option?

Only Pro (without plus) can be paid annually for some reason.

Pro+ does have a annual plan but recently they paused or dropped the annual plans because they are trying to adjust the pricing model.

I paid 390 USD for a year Pro+ subscription in November 2025.

I used all the 'Premium Requests' every month on (mainly) Opus 4.5 & 4.6. From what I've read on here it seems I was probably a rather unprofitable customer - it felt like a steal.

Yes, it was definitely a good value for devs using those models. I was hoping since Github Copilot was rarely talked about compared to the Anthropic/OpenAI offerings, MS would continue to subsidize it to encourage people to move over, but maybe it just got too expensive.

Some of my jobs are completing, some are failing. Seems to be random. Kind of wish they would just fail outright, instead of running for 10 minutes and then failing.

At this point it'll be better to have alerts for when GitHub is online, rather than offline.

what are the good alternatives available for github i find some alternative but as long as widely people use github i cant use other service right like i cant share my alternative to other developer and force him to use this for me. so i feel like i locked in even i want to move i can't

I'm probably going to use source hut in the future. It allows contributions via email without an account requirement.

codeberg.org is a thing, and it's perfectly suited for open source projects. Many neovim plugins and home lab tech I use are hosted on codeberg with no issues. If you just want to github as social media, you will never be happy.

give tangled.org a go perhaps. its got the self-hostability that cgit/forgejo does and a the social bits that github does.

Huh? Why not? Say "My git repository is here $URL" then if they want to visit and/or clone it, they'll do that, otherwise don't, why does it matter?

Sure, if you're out after reaching the most people, gaining stars or otherwise try to attract "popularity" rather than just sharing and collaborate on code, then I'd understand what you mean. But then I'd begin with questioning your motivation first, that'll be a deeper issue than what SCM platform you use.

gitlab is about as close as you'll get

GitLab annoys me in tons of ways, but I feel it's generally better than GitHub in lots of ways.
