GitHub restores pull-request access after 31-minute outage
Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
GitHub restored pull-request access after an outage lasting about 31 minutes on 6 May. The disruption mattered because pull requests are central to reviewing, approving and managing code changes for many software teams.
No cause or estimate of affected users was provided. CircleCI said builds newly triggered by pull requests or code pushes continued to run, describing its related impact as minor while GitHub recovered.

GitHub is an online service where people and organisations store and work on software code. It is widely used by developers, from small volunteer projects to large companies, to coordinate changes made by several people.
A pull request is a way of proposing a change to a shared codebase before it is added. Other team members can examine the proposed work, discuss it, suggest alterations and approve it, helping teams check code and keep a record of decisions.
Services such as CircleCI can connect to GitHub to automatically test code when a pull request is opened or updated. Disruption to GitHub can therefore affect review processes and connected development tools, even when some automated tasks continue to run.
