GitHubdown detector — live outage reports & map

This page is a free, live GitHub down detector and server-status checker. It tells you if GitHub is down or not working right now — aggregating real user reports, an outage map and history, an independent check from our own servers, and whether GitHub is down for everyone or just you, with what else goes down with it.

The measured GitHub record

Across 8,636 independent checks over the last 30 days, GitHub was fully operational 97.2% of the time; the misses were impaired responses, not hard downtime. The most recent recorded GitHub incident was a critical on Nov 11, 2026 (resolved): "Incident with Webhooks". Typical response time from our US East (Virginia) probe this week is 136ms (p90 436ms, over 1,923 checks).

About GitHub& what an outage looks like

GitHub (owned by Microsoft) hosts code, CI/CD and packages. Outages can hit individual pieces — the website, Actions, the API, or git operations — so pushes might fail while the site loads, or vice versa; GitHub's status page breaks it down by component.

GitHub component status

Live status of GitHub's individual parts, from its official feed.

GitHub response time & uptime

Our own checks over the last 7 days (1923 samples). Bar height = response time (lower is better); a red notch = a check that failed (down). Slow isn't the same as down.

Frequently asked

Is GitHub down right now?+

Right now, GitHub appears to be operational. GitHub looks healthy. The official status page reports all systems operational and our independent checks can reach it.

How can I tell if it's GitHub or my own connection?+

DownRN runs an independent reachability check from our own servers, separate from GitHub's official status page. If our check passes but you still can't connect, the problem is more likely local — try a different network, clear your cookies, disable VPN/extensions, or use a different browser. If our check is failing too, it's more likely GitHub's side.

What is GitHub's server status right now?+

GitHub is currently operational. DownRN reads GitHub's official Microsoft status feed and combines it with our own independent server check and live user reports, so you get the real server status in one place — updated automatically, refreshed every 60 seconds.

Is there a GitHub down detector?+

Yes — this page is a live GitHub down detector. It aggregates real user reports, shows an outage map and recent incident history, runs an independent check from our own servers, and tells you whether GitHub is down for everyone or just you — plus what else goes down with it. It's free, with no login, and DownRN never invents report numbers.

Is GitHub down for everyone or just me?+

If lots of people are reporting problems here right now, GitHub is down for everyone — not just you. If reports are quiet and our independent check passes, it's more likely on your end: try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data, restarting the app, or clearing your cache. DownRN shows live report volume so you can tell the difference fast — and GitHub's outage map shows which areas are affected.

Why is GitHub slow or not working?+

Common causes are an upstream provider incident, API rate limits during peak demand, a regional CDN issue, or maintenance. GitHub is currently operational. We show the official status, our independent check, and a confidence level so you can see which signals point to a real problem.

Is there a GitHub outage today?+

GitHub is currently operational. DownRN tracks GitHub outages in real time and keeps a full outage history — see the live status above, and past GitHub incidents with their durations and recovery times on the outage history page. We never invent outages.

What's wrong with GitHub right now?+

Based on our checks, GitHub is operational right now. The problems people report most are login, the feed, messaging or payments — see the live reports and the "what usually breaks" breakdown above for the specific surfaces affected, plus what else is going down with it.

Is GitHub down in my area or region?+

Outages can be regional — a CDN, routing or ISP issue can hit one area while the rest of the world is fine. DownRN's GitHub outage map shows where people are reporting problems right now, by country and US state, so you can see whether GitHub is down in your area or everywhere.

What can I use while GitHub is down?+

Good alternatives include Dropbox, Zoom. We track their live status too, so you can switch to one that's currently operational.

Where is GitHub's official status page?+

GitHub's official status page is at https://www.githubstatus.com. DownRN reads it automatically and combines it with our own checks and user reports — so you get the answer without juggling tabs.
