Github pages fails to deploy

Question

This error is popping-up intermittently while trying to deploy my github webpages. I have no clue what to do, I already deleted and recreated the repository but the error persists. I have the same problem for all my github pages repositories.

Here is one repository example: https://github.com/cnftstats/borgs

Answer 1

GitHub Actions is currently experiencing degraded performance and published this on their status page. Therefore, you are most likely experiencing a side effect of the current problems. Other users are reporting the same issue as well. Try again later when the issue has been resolved by GitHub.

Update: More products are now affected and experience degraded performance. Check their status page for more details: https://www.githubstatus.com

This isn't only a problem with Github Actions. I can't even create a new repository or change my user settings anymore! – Twombly

@SylvesterKruin Added an update to the answer. Thanks. – Lilli

If someone has an error 500 make sure you enabled the Build and deployment Source from "GitHub Actions".

Settings -> Pages section -> Build and deployment -> Source: GitHub Actions

[It was a bug of GitHub, happens to all its users---date: 18/03/2022]

It happens to me today too.. :(

Maybe is a bug of GitHub pages: https://github.com/actions/deploy-pages/issues/22

Make sure you delete previous failing actions and just re-run the latest one. It should work now. – Pigpen
