Frequently Asked Questions

How does GitHub Actions interact with the GitHub API?

GitHub Actions integrates with the GitHub API to automate repository tasks, trigger workflow runs, and manage job execution. Developers can use the REST API and GraphQL API to query job statuses, retrieve logs, and debug workflows efficiently.

How do status checks impact GitHub Actions workflows?

Required status checks ensure that workflows meet predefined conditions before allowing a merge. If a check fails, GitHub prevents the PR from merging until the issue is resolved. These checks enhance code quality, repository security, and workflow reliability.

How do pull requests work with GitHub Actions?

When a pull request (PR) is created, GitHub Actions can automatically validate code changes. This includes running tests, checking repository configurations, and enforcing branch protections like required status checks and automatic approvals before merging.

How can I resolve common GitHub Actions failures?

Common failures in GitHub Actions may be due to misconfigurations, missing dependencies, API rate limits, or permission restrictions. Checking workflow runs, adjusting configuration settings, and reviewing log outputs in the Actions tab can help diagnose and fix problems.

How does the GitHub Actions dashboard help manage workflows?

The dashboard provides a central view of running workflows, failed jobs, and execution logs. Developers can track workflow progress, restart failed jobs, and analyze logs for debugging to improve automation and reliability.

How can GitHub Actions improve deployment processes?

GitHub Actions automates deployment by integrating with cloud providers, running custom scripts, and validating commit histories. Using webhooks and environment protection rules, workflows can be triggered automatically upon code changes, ensuring seamless rollouts.

Is GitHub Actions down today or just slow?

Currently there's no report of GitHub Actions being slow. Check on the top of the page if there are any reported problems by other users.

How are GitHub Actions outages detected?

IsDown monitors the GitHub Actions 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.

Is GitHub Actions having an outage right now?

GitHub Actions last outage was on October 29, 2025 with the title "Experiencing connection issues across Actions, Codespaces, and possibly other services"

How IsDown compares to DownDetector when monitoring GitHub?

IsDown and DownDetector help users determine if GitHub 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 instead of just relying on reports from users. The integration allows us to provide more details about GitHub's Outages, 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.
