The GitHub Git hosting platform has undergone a widespread and significant services outage that has implications for issues, PRs, dashboards, projects and notifications.
GitHub offers its users the management of source code (SCM) and distributed Git version control functionality in the cloud without having to configure their own servers to host Git locally.
GitHub also offers team collaboration and access control characteristics such as task management and bug tracking in addition to the standard Git characteristics.
However, as the cloud solution, the GitHub platform is sometimes impacted by multiple problems influencing some or all of its characteristics, and directly affects its users ‘ ability to manage their platform-host Git repositories.
