Some Git over HTTPS may temporarily require authentication
During periods of unusual traffic, GitHub may temporarily require authentication for some clones and fetches of public repositories over HTTPS to help protect github.com’s availability. If an operation is affected, it will fail with a message indicating that authentication is required. To continue, authenticate and retry the operation.
Email notifications for repository push events have been retired
As of October 15, 2026, email notifications for repository push events have been retired and are no longer sent. We shut down this feature to help prevent spam and abuse. Because recipients didn’t have to consent before receiving these emails, the feature could be misused to send unwanted messages through GitHub’s email infrastructure.

We’re releasing several GitHub Apps improvements today that help developers move off of classic PATs, improve GitHub App management, and request fewer sensitive permissions.
Search and filter for budgets now available
The “Budgets and alerts” page in your GitHub billing settings now shows all of your budgets in one list that you can search and filter. Whether you manage budgets for a personal account, enterprise or organization, you can find a specific budget without paginating through the full list.
Triage role users or higher can now archive pull requests
Users with the triage role or higher in a repository can now archive and unarchive pull requests. Previously, archiving was limited to repository administrators, requiring trusted triagers to hand routine moderation work to someone with higher permissions.
