This chart displays the number of user-reported issues over the past 24 hours, grouped into 20-minute intervals. It's normal to see occasional reports, which may be due to individual user issues rather than a broader problem. We only consider an issue widespread if there are multiple reports within a short timeframe.
IsDown has tracked 711 incidents since started monitoring GitHub status in April 2020. We collect data from 4400+ services, and normalize the data to give you a clear picture of the impact of the outage.

IsDown actively monitors the health of GitHub and several major components.
Burned by Vendor Downtime? Never Again with Our Status Page Aggregator
IsDown aggregates various status pages from services into a very clear dashboard. Worth every penny.
Services commonly monitored together with GitHub
When GitHub is down, start by checking the official status page and IsDown's monitoring. If PRs, repository access, or deployment processes are affected, try using alternative workflows. If it's a network or connectivity issue, verify whether it's on GitHub's end or a local problem by testing a different network or clearing the DNS cache.
Keeping track of GitHub status updates helps in understanding the outage. In cases of widespread disruptions, teams can mitigate the impact by delaying non-critical tasks or working offline until service is restored.
IsDown provides real-time alerts when GitHub experiences disruptions. Users can set up notifications via Slack, PagerDuty, or email to stay informed. Whether it's a network problem, database failure, or deployment delay, IsDown keeps users updated. Tracking GitHub status checks ensures teams are aware of potential service interruptions before they escalate.
Yes, when GitHub experiences an outage, it can significantly disrupt software development workflows. Developers may be unable to push code, merge pull requests (PRs), or access repositories. This can delay releases, hinder collaboration, and affect automation pipelines, particularly in DevOps and CI/CD environments where GitHub is integrated with build and deployment processes.
GitHub outages can be caused by infrastructure failures, database issues, network congestion, or planned/unplanned system maintenance. Problems with query performance, API rate limits, or repository indexing may slow down searches and repository access. To determine whether an issue is widespread or isolated, developers should check GitHub's official status page and third-party monitoring platforms like IsDown for real-time outage reports.
To reduce the impact of GitHub downtime, teams should implement contingency workflows. This may include maintaining local repositories for offline work, setting up alternative version control systems (e.g., GitLab, Bitbucket), or using mirrored repositories. For CI/CD pipelines, integrating multiple service providers can ensure redundancy. Regularly monitoring GitHub status updates allows teams to react proactively and adjust workflows as needed.
Currently there's no report of GitHub being slow. Check on the top of the page if there are any reported problems by other users.
IsDown monitors the GitHub official status page every few minutes. We also get reports from users like you. If there are enough reports about an outage, we'll show it on the top of the page.
GitHub last outage was on September 10, 2025 with the title "Incident with Actions"
Because IsDown is a status page aggregator, which means that we aggregate the status of multiple cloud services. You can monitor GitHub and all the services that impact your business. Get a dashboard with the health of all services and status updates. Set up notifications via Slack, Datadog, PagerDuty, and more, when a service you monitor has issues or when maintenances are scheduled.
IsDown and DownDetector help users determine if a service is having problems. The big difference is that IsDown is a status page aggregator. IsDown monitors a service's official status page to give our customers a more reliable source of information. The integration allows us to provide more details about the outage, like incident title, description, updates, and the parts of the affected service. Additionally, users can create internal status pages and set up notifications for all their third-party services.
IsDown offers an easy way to monitor GitHub with maximum flexibility
IsDown monitors GitHub for major outages. A major outage is when GitHub experiences a critical issue that severely affects one or more services/regions. When GitHub marks an incident as a major outage, IsDown updates its internal status, the customer status page and dashboard. Depending on the customer settings, IsDown will also send notifications.
IsDown monitors GitHub status page for minor outages. A minor outage is when GitHub experiences a small issue affecting a small percentage of its customer's applications. An example is the performance degradation of an application. When a minor outage occurs, IsDown updates its internal status and shares that information on the customer status page. Depending on the customer settings, IsDown will also send notifications.
IsDown collects all information from the outages published in GitHub status page to provide the most accurate information. If available, we gather the title, description, time of the outage, status, and outage updates. Another important piece of information is the affected services/regions which we use to filter the notifications that impact your business.
GitHub publishes scheduled maintenance events on their status page. IsDown collects all the information for each event and creates a feed that people can follow to ensure they are not surprised by unexpected downtime or problems. We also send the feed in our weekly report, alerting the next maintenances that will take place.
IsDown monitors GitHub and all their 11 components that can be affected by an outage. IsDown allows you to filter the notifications and status page alerts based on the components you care about. For example, you can choose which components or regions affect your business and filter out all other outages. This way you avoid alert fatigue in your team.
GitHub and other vendors don’t always report outages on time. Our crowdsourced status platform helps you stay ahead of outages. Users report issues and outages, sharing details on what problems they are facing. We use that info to provide early signs of outages. This way, even without an official update, you can stay ahead of possible problems.
The data and notifications you need, in the tools you already use.
