Is GitHub down?
Couldn’t reach the GitHub status page
The status page didn’t answer in time (checked at 00:45 UTC). That can mean a wider outage or just a slow response; open the official page directly. Official GitHub status page ↗

What to do if GitHub is down
- If Actions is down, run the checks locally and re-run the failed workflows once it’s green; queued runs usually start on their own after recovery.
- Copilot, Codespaces, Pages and Packages are separate components; the rest of GitHub often works during their incidents.
- Git is distributed: keep committing locally and push when the service is back.
- Use your lockfile and local cache for installs, and avoid deleting caches or node_modules during an outage.
- Pin CI to cached dependencies or a mirror so builds don’t all fail on the same registry.

FAQ
Is GitHub down right now?+
The official status page didn’t answer when this page was last built. The status box at the top re-checks while you have it open, or open https://www.githubstatus.com directly.
Where is the official GitHub status page?+
https://www.githubstatus.com. It’s run by GitHub itself and lists each component, open incidents and past incidents. DevHunt reads its public status API; nothing here is added or guessed.
GitHub isn’t working for me, but the status page says it’s up. Why?+
Status pages update a few minutes after a problem starts, and small or regional issues sometimes never show up. Check your own network, VPN and API keys, try another browser or region, and look at the components list: one feature can fail while the rest works.
What can I use while GitHub is down?+
Common alternatives listed on DevHunt are linked below this FAQ. For a long outage, switch the part of your workflow that depends on GitHub; for short ones, retrying with backoff is usually enough.
Does DevHunt collect outage reports from users?+
No. This page only shows what GitHub’s official status page says, with the time it was checked. It does not count user reports, so it can lag behind an outage that GitHub hasn’t acknowledged yet.
