What to do when GitHub is down
- Your local Git clone has the full repository history — continue committing locally and push when GitHub is back.
- Check githubstatus.com for granular status on Git operations, API, Actions, Pages, and Packages.
- If GitHub Actions are failing, check whether the issue is with GitHub-hosted runners or your self-hosted runners.
- Report the outage on this page to help other users confirm the problem.
Common GitHub outage causes
GitHub outages often affect Git operations, Actions, and the web UI independently. Database incidents can cause degraded performance across pull requests and issues while code hosting remains functional.
