Is Github down now?

FAQ - Common GitHub Problems & Outages

• Is GitHub down right now?

  If GitHub is not loading, repositories are unavailable, or actions such as pushing, pulling, or signing in are failing, GitHub may be experiencing a service outage. Check the current status on this page to see whether other users are reporting problems at the same time.

• Why is GitHub not working?

  GitHub may stop working because of a temporary service outage, maintenance, server problems, or an issue with your internet connection. If several GitHub features are affected at the same time, the problem is more likely to be on GitHub's side rather than with your device or network.

• Why can't I access GitHub?

  If GitHub won't open or keeps timing out, first try refreshing the page and checking your internet connection. You can also try another browser, device, or network. If GitHub is inaccessible from multiple networks and users are reporting the same issue, there may be a wider outage.

• Why can't I log in to GitHub?

  GitHub login problems can be caused by incorrect credentials, browser cookies, authentication issues, or a temporary problem with GitHub's services. Try signing in again, check your authentication method, or use another browser. If many users are unable to sign in, the problem may be related to a GitHub outage.

• Why is GitHub Actions not working?

  If GitHub Actions workflows are delayed, stuck in the queue, failing unexpectedly, or not starting, the problem may be related to GitHub's Actions infrastructure. Check the current GitHub status and recent user reports before changing your workflow configuration. If the service is experiencing an incident, the best option may be to wait until it is resolved.

• Why can't I push or pull from GitHub?

  If Git operations such as push, pull, fetch, or clone are failing, the cause could be a GitHub service issue, authentication problem, repository permissions, or a local network problem. If you can access GitHub normally in your browser but Git operations are failing, check your Git credentials and connection. If both are affected, a wider GitHub problem may be responsible.

• Why are GitHub repositories not loading?

  If repository pages are slow, return errors, or fail to load, GitHub may be experiencing a temporary problem. Refresh the page and check whether other repositories are affected. If multiple repositories fail to load at the same time, check the current status and user reports for a possible GitHub outage.

• Why is GitHub so slow?

  Slow GitHub performance can be caused by temporary server problems, high traffic, network congestion, or an issue affecting a particular GitHub service. Try another network or device to determine whether the problem is local. If GitHub is slow for many users, it is more likely to be a service-side issue.

• Why are GitHub pages or files not loading?

  If files, commits, issues, pull requests, or other GitHub pages are not displaying correctly, there may be a temporary problem affecting part of the platform. Refresh the page and try again. If several different parts of GitHub are affected, check the current status for a wider service disruption.

• Why is GitHub Copilot not working?

  If GitHub Copilot is not providing suggestions, cannot connect, or reports errors, the issue may be related to Copilot, your development environment, authentication, or a wider GitHub service problem. Check your connection and sign-in status first, then check the current GitHub status to see if other users are experiencing similar problems.

• How can I tell if GitHub is down or the problem is on my side?

  Check the current GitHub status and see whether other users are reporting problems. You can also test GitHub from another browser, device, or network. Our global status checker can test GitHub from multiple locations around the world, while the outage map can help show where users are reporting problems. If GitHub fails from several different locations, a wider service problem is more likely.

• Where can I see if other users are having problems with GitHub?

  You can check the current GitHub status on this page and review recent user reports. Our GitHub outage map also shows the geographical distribution of reported problems, which can help determine whether an issue is isolated or affecting users in multiple locations.

• What should I do if GitHub is down?

  If GitHub is experiencing a confirmed outage, there may be nothing you need to change on your device. Check the current status, monitor recent reports, and wait for the affected service to recover. If only you are affected, try another network or device and check your browser or Git configuration.

• How long do GitHub outages usually last?

  The duration of a GitHub outage depends on what is causing the problem and which services are affected. Some incidents are resolved quickly, while larger infrastructure problems can take longer. Follow the current status and user reports to see whether the number of reported problems is increasing or returning to normal.
