Beginning at 02:49 UTC on May 15 2026 and lasting until 03:04 UTC, GitHub.com was unavailable for a subset of customers. This impact has been mitigated and normal service resumed.
The issue was rooted in a sudden spike in traffic, with intermittent impact. We've identified the source of the traffic and prevented further disruption.
