Is GitHub down?
Checking live status…The badge above shows GitHub's status in real time, pulled directly from GitHub's official status page. If it's green, GitHub is operational and the problem is likely on your side.
How to tell if GitHub is down
Check the live badge aboveIt reads GitHub's official status — the source of truth for GitHub repos, Actions, and the API.
Try from another networkIf only you can't reach GitHub, it may be your ISP, DNS or VPN — not GitHub.
Watch your own error ratesIf your app depends on GitHub, a spike of failed calls is your earliest signal.
What to do when GitHub is down
- Confirm it's actually GitHub (badge + official page), not your own integration.
- If you build on GitHub, fail gracefully — show a clear message, retry with backoff, and don't hammer it.
- Subscribe to GitHub's status updates so you hear about incidents early.
- Monitor your own app so you know the moment a GitHub outage starts breaking your users' experience.
GitHub is a dependency. Monitor what depends on it.
When GitHub has an outage, your app inherits it — and you usually find out from angry users. Nurbak Watch checks your endpoints every 60 seconds from multiple regions and alerts you on Slack, email or WhatsApp the moment your app starts failing, whether the cause is GitHub or you.
