## Updates from dbt Cloud

### resolved, 2026-11-04 12:51 UTC

This incident has been resolved. Between 09:37 and 11:23 UTC, an incident at GitHub caused some job runs and dbt Studio git actions to fail with "Permission denied (publickey)" for projects that use a dbt-managed repository or connect to GitHub with a deploy key. Git operations have been stable since GitHub's fix. Any job run that failed with this error during that window can be re-run.

### monitoring, 2026-11-04 12:51 UTC

GitHub has mitigated the issue, and we're no longer seeing these errors in job runs or dbt Studio. We're monitoring to confirm things stay stable. Job runs that failed with this error can be re-run.
