Our deploys are tied to GitHub actions and it is becoming a liability at this point. What alternatives do people use? I mean for FOSS there are some decent stuff but we need a reliable provider for private repos.
self hosted forgejo has been my saviour. im thinking in acquiring a new NUC server to increase compute and storage to my homelab to add some new runners
My deployments are tied to their container registry, so I'm equally screwed... Been thinking of going back to Dokku, I started working on a third wrapper around Dokku (yeah, I've literally done this twice already), and then self-host and self-provision... I honestly thinking seriously about this.
I was thinking I'm going crazy with me ssh keys not working on both of my machines.
https is working still!
git -c credential.helper= -c 'credential.helper=!gh auth git-credential' pull https://github.com/myorg/my-repo.git

Self-hosted Forgejo with a bunch of runners might also be interesting for you. The workflow syntax is _almost_ identical to the github one.

Genuine question: if you're hosting private repos, is self-hosting an option?
Gitea Enterprise would be worth looking at.

Honestly, not really wanna deal with self hosting it. Would rather pay for a decent service at this point.
There is already a blacksmith sh if you don't want to selfhost your runners. Or codeberg as a full solution if I am not mistaken.
gitea is amazing.
Finally a GitHub outage during European workday. Yaaay.
Can't even pull no more using my key. That's a new low, I'm used to the website being janky nowadays but this is seriously essential
At least they have a very clear error message so you know what is going on.
> git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
That's standard git, not coming from GH.
Just rolled new keys and though I'm going crazy that it's not working
Can't they just... sell github back like when the germans sold the nuclear plant back to mr burns?
As of 2026-11-04T10:25:34Z the domain MicrosoftPleaseGiveGithubToGoogle.com is still unclaimed.
Yes, really at this point it would be best if MS sold Github to Google and they kill it within a year.
The day GitHub will no longer be free is approaching... they just can't support the abnormal amount of things being pushed rn
For a moment I thought my ssh key got breached. Fricking hell Github!

git clone works sometimes, sometimes not.
Unauthenticated fetches seem ok. Not sure what you mean about git checkout, it's purely local.
These days, perhaps, normal undisrupted operation should start counting as an incident...
Again and again?
That is how explosive demand growth works after all. They just aren’t keeping up with increasing capacity or rate limiting people
Why haven’t they asked an AI agent to fix all their bugs yet? /s
Prompting the wrong things is just a skill issue.
