Is GitHub down?
Live status for GitHub (https://github.com)
About GitHub outages
GitHub is the world’s largest code hosting platform, and its outages stall software teams globally — pushes fail, pull requests will not merge, and CI pipelines that fetch from GitHub break in cascade.
GitHub publishes official incident updates at its status page — worth checking alongside our live test above.
GitHub FAQ
Why do git pushes fail while github.com loads fine?
Git operations, the web UI, API, and Actions are separate GitHub components that fail independently — their status page lists each one. Push failures with a working website usually mean a Git-backend incident, so retrying beats reconfiguring your remote.
GitHub Actions is stuck — is GitHub down?
Actions is GitHub’s most incident-prone component; queued jobs that never start typically reflect an Actions capacity incident rather than anything in your workflow file. Jobs generally process automatically once the backlog clears — avoid mass-cancelling.
Is GitHub down for everyone or just me?
We test GitHub (https://github.com) live from our own servers. If our check succeeds but you still can't connect, the outage is probably local to you — try another network or device, clear your cache, or check GitHub's official status channels.
