Disruption with some GitHub services

Incident Report for GitHub

Resolved

From Feb 2, 2026 17:13 UTC to Feb 2, 2026 17:36 UTC we experienced failures on ~0.02% of Git operations. While deploying an internal service, a misconfiguration caused a small subset of traffic to route to a service that was not ready. During the incident we observed the degradation and statused publicly.

To mitigate the issue, traffic was redirected to healthy instances and we resumed normal operation.

We are improving our monitoring and deployment processes in this area to avoid future routing issues.

We’ve observed a low rate (~0.01%) of 5xx errors for HTTP-based fetches and clones. We’re currently routing traffic away from the affected location and are seeing recovery.
