    About GitHub outages

    Written by the HostTracker monitoring team · updated from live probe data.

    GitHub hosts the source code, CI/CD pipelines, and package registries that a huge share of the software industry depends on to ship code - so a GitHub outage doesn't just block browsing a repository, it can halt deployments, break automated builds, and lock developers out of pull requests across thousands of unrelated companies at once. GitHub's infrastructure is large and componentized (git operations, the web UI, Actions, API, Packages, and Pages can each have independent incidents), so "GitHub is down" often actually means one specific component is degraded while the rest works normally. A live check confirms whether the core site is reachable at all, which is the first thing worth ruling out before digging into a specific GitHub product.

    Common causes of GitHub downtime

    Not sure whether it's GitHub or your own connection? Read the full breakdown in our website down checker guide for a general walkthrough of diagnosing any outage, from DNS failures to expired certificates.

    Database or storage-layer incidents affecting specific regions or specific GitHub products (Actions, Packages, Issues) independently of the main site

    Elevated API error rates or rate-limiting that breaks integrations and CI pipelines while github.com itself still loads in a browser

    DNS or CDN-edge issues that make github.com unreachable from specific ISPs or countries

    Deployment-related incidents following GitHub's own platform releases, typically short-lived and region-scoped

    Questions people ask during an outage

    The live probe run on this page tests github.com from a broad sample of HostTracker's 300+-location monitoring network - many independent networks at the same moment, rather than just your own connection. If every location fails to reach it, the outage is real and affects everyone; if only a few locations fail while most load normally, the problem is local to those regions or networks rather than GitHub being fully down. A single refresh from your own browser can never make that distinction, because it only ever tests from one vantage point on one network.

    Yes. HostTracker lets you add any URL - including third-party services you depend on, not just your own website - as a monitored target, and notifies you automatically the moment it becomes unreachable. Before sending an alert, HostTracker re-verifies a failure from multiple locations in its 300+-location network, so you're notified about real, confirmed outages rather than a single location's momentary blip. The free plan checks two monitors every 30 minutes indefinitely at no cost; paid plans check as often as once a minute, with alerts available through SMS, email, voice call, and several messenger apps.

    Yes - this is one of the most common patterns in a GitHub incident. The main website, git push/pull operations, GitHub Actions (CI/CD), the REST/GraphQL API, and Packages are separate components that can fail independently. It's common for the web UI to load normally while Actions runs are queued or failing, or for API rate-limit/error rates to spike while browsing works fine. If your CI pipeline or an integration is failing, check the status of the SPECIFIC component you depend on, not just whether github.com renders in a browser.

    This is usually a regional or network-path difference rather than an inconsistent outage. GitHub serves traffic through geographically distributed infrastructure and a CDN, so a routing problem, DNS issue, or edge-node incident can make github.com unreachable from one country or ISP while it works normally elsewhere. It can also reflect an authentication-specific issue (a session or token problem) affecting one account rather than the service itself. Testing github.com from multiple independent worldwide locations is the fastest way to tell a real widespread outage from a localized network or account issue.
