About GitHub

GitHub is a web-based hosting service for software development projects that use the Git version control system. It was launched on October 19, 2007 and is headquartered in San Francisco, in the United States. The service is owned by Microsoft and operated through GitHub Inc. Its website is github.com.
GitHub is a code hosting platform built around Git. It stores repositories, tracks issues and pull requests, and runs automation through Actions. When something here breaks, work across entire teams can slow to a stop. This page tracks reports of problems with GitHub and its connected services, so you can tell quickly whether an issue is on your side or on theirs.
GitHub hosts Git repositories and adds collaboration tools on top: pull requests, code review, issues, and CI/CD through Actions. It also exposes an API and supports webhooks, which many other tools rely on. Microsoft owns the platform, and it has operated under that ownership since 2018. The parts that fail most often are the moving pieces. Actions jobs can queue for a long time or fail to start. Webhooks may arrive late or not at all, which makes integrations look broken even when they are not. Push and pull over Git can slow down, and login sessions sometimes drop. The main website and API can each have trouble independently of the other. Before reporting a problem, check a few things. Confirm your network can reach github.com and that your SSH keys or tokens are still valid. Look at your webhook settings if an integration is misbehaving. If Actions jobs are stuck, try re-running one after a short wait. If everything works except one feature, the status information here will help you narrow it down.

Questions

Is GitHub down right now?

According to reports on this page, GitHub looks fine for most people. Isolated failures still happen — report yours if you are stuck.

When was the last mass outage?

The last mass outage ran from Oct 7, 2026 3:35 PM to Oct 7, 2026 3:30 PM (5 minutes).

Why do my pushes keep failing with authentication errors?

Expired credentials are the usual cause. Personal access tokens have a set lifespan, and SSH keys can be removed or rotated. Generate a fresh token or re-add your SSH key, then try again. If the error persists across repositories, check whether GitHub is having a known problem with Git operations.

Why are my Actions workflows stuck in a queued state?

Workflows queue when runners are not available or when concurrency limits are in play. Long queues often point to a platform-side problem rather than your configuration. Wait a few minutes and re-run the workflow. If it stays queued, check the current status reports before changing your setup.
