GitHub is experiencing degraded performance, with an approximate 20% error rate across Pull Requests, Issues, and other features, and an incident has been opened on githubstatus.com.
Engineers relying on GitHub for active development, releases, or CI workflows may face intermittent failures when pushing, merging, or loading PR status. The incident was not immediately reflected on the status page, meaning teams should not assume a green dashboard means everything is operational.
