GitHub is experiencing a significant service disruption affecting multiple core features including Issues, Actions, and Git Operations. The platform first reported problems around 7:01 PM UTC on February 9, 2026, with initial investigations focusing on Actions, Git Operations, and Issues. Users began reporting slow responses and failed requests shortly after.

As the incident progressed, additional services including Packages, Pages, Webhooks, Pull Requests, and Codespaces were affected. The company confirmed that Dependabot and Copilot were also experiencing degraded performance. GitHub engineers have been working to apply mitigations and restore service availability, with some systems showing signs of recovery while others remain impacted.

The outage highlights the critical dependency many development teams have on GitHub's infrastructure for their daily workflows. Actions jobs are being delayed, and developers may be unable to push code or manage repositories effectively during this period. GitHub has been providing regular updates through their status page as they continue monitoring the situation and working toward full recovery.
