About GitHub Status Monitoring

IsDown has maintained continuous monitoring of GitHub, a Version Control & Collaboration solution, since April 2020. Our database contains 790 documented incidents from the past 6 years, giving us deep insight into GitHub's reliability patterns and typical resolution times. We parse GitHub's official status page across all 11 components, interpreting statuses like operational, degraded performance, partial outage, and major outage to deliver precise uptime metrics and targeted notifications.

When GitHub experiences issues, you need accurate information fast. IsDown combines official status page data with user-reported issues, giving you early detection when vendors are slow to acknowledge problems, plus verified incident details once they do. You get affected components, severity levels, and real-time resolution updates from both sources.

Engineering and operations teams rely on IsDown to monitor GitHub and receive verified outage alerts. Get instant notifications through Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, or 20+ other integrations.

How IsDown monitors GitHub?

IsDown monitors GitHub health in almost real-time

Every few minutes we check the status page of GitHub (and 5,420+ other services) for issues. We collect the status and outage information across all 11 GitHub components. We also monitor user reports alongside official sources. Since vendors often take time to report incidents, monitoring user reports helps us alert you early.

The moment an issue is detected in GitHub, IsDown sends an alert and updates your status page

Not only will you get notified, but IsDown offers notification filters so you can choose which issues you want to be alerted about. This way you avoid getting all incidents from GitHub and other services, focusing only on those affecting your business.

One status page to monitor all your external dependencies

What you get when monitoring GitHub with IsDown

Track GitHub incidents and downtimes by severity

IsDown checks GitHub official status page for major/minor outages or downtimes. A major outage is when GitHub experiences a critical issue that severely affects one or more services/regions. A minor incident 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. The moment we detect a GitHub outage, we send you an alert and update your dashboard and status page.

Get alerted as soon as users report problems with GitHub

GitHub and other vendors don't always report outages on time. IsDown collects user reports to provide early detection of outages. This way, even without an official status update, you can stay ahead of possible problems.

All the details of GitHub outages and downtimes

IsDown collects all information from the outages published in GitHub status page to provide the context of the outage. 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.

Prepare for upcoming GitHub maintenance events

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.

Only get alerted on the GitHub outages that impact your business

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.

One platform to monitor all your external dependencies

Our tool was built to be the best way to monitor all your external dependencies in one place. IsDown not only will help you monitor GitHub but also 5,421 other services. Your team and customers will have a clear view of all your dependencies and their status, making it easier to identify and resolve issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I resolve issues when GitHub is down?

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.

How does IsDown notify users about GitHub outages?

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.

Can GitHub outages impact development workflows?

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.

What are common causes of GitHub outages?

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.

How can teams mitigate the impact of GitHub downtime?

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.

Is GitHub down today or just slow?

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.

How are GitHub outages detected?

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.

Is GitHub having an outage right now?

GitHub last outage was on January 16, 2026 with the title "Disruption with some GitHub services"

How to check if GitHub is down?

Why use IsDown to monitor GitHub instead of the official status page?

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.

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.
