Live GitHub Server Status: Is GitHub Down Right Now?

person By: Monitoring team

update Last updated: Jun 18, 2026, 3:06 PM UTC

GitHub is the world's leading developer platform, hosting millions of repositories and powering crucial CI/CD workflows. When the platform experiences disruptions, developers globally ask, is GitHub down right now? We monitor GitHub network status around the clock to keep you informed of any service interruptions.

Currently, based on our real-time global monitoring network, the status of GitHub is operational. Most users are reporting that the platform is functioning perfectly without any major interruptions. If you feel that GitHub is not working for you, or if you are experiencing severe GitHub lag, it is highly likely a local problem related to your device, ISP internet connection, or router configuration rather than a pervasive global server outage.

What Happens to Your Code and CI/CD Pipelines During a GitHub Outage?

When a GitHub outage today 2026 strikes, developers typically face failed git push/pull actions, broken Actions workflows, and inaccessible pull requests. Additionally, Copilot integrations may fail to load, halting coding productivity across entire engineering teams.

If the GitHub status is currently marked as red (Major Outage) or yellow (Partial Outage) on our live dashboard map above, you will likely experience one or all of these frustrating symptoms. Our proprietary algorithm aggregates these micro-reports from around the web to accurately verify and flag these exact downtime situations as they unfold minute by minute.

Recent GitHub Problems Today and Network Status Reports

Looking at the short-term history, our automated down detector has chronicled exactly 15 user error reports over the prior 24 hours. Because of these reported fluctuations, GitHub is sitting at a 100.00% uptime metric for the current rolling day.

A major service interruption was positively recorded 19h ago. During this window, an explosive 3 users reported the platform as 'down', confirming a widespread GitHub outage.

Troubleshooting Guide: What to Do When GitHub is Not Working Today

If our page indicates that the service is operational, yet you are still asking "Why is GitHub not loading?", try these quick troubleshooting steps:

Switch Git Protocol (HTTPS to SSH): If cloning or pushing via HTTPS fails, try switching your remote URL to SSH ([email protected]). Often, authentication servers for one protocol might be down while the other remains functional.
Check Local Git Credentials and Tokens: Expired Personal Access Tokens (PATs) or SSH keys can mimic a GitHub outage. Verify your credentials in your terminal or keychain to ensure your local environment is correctly authenticated.
Clear DNS Cache and Check GitHub Network Status: Flush your local DNS cache (using 'dscacheutil -flushcache' on macOS or 'ipconfig /flushdns' on Windows) to bypass cached, outdated routing paths to GitHub's servers.

Command Prompt (CMD)

ping github.com Test whether GitHub's servers reply

nslookup github.com Check that GitHub's DNS resolves

tracert github.com Trace where the connection drops

ipconfig /flushdns Clear the DNS cache, then reload

Terminal

ping -c 4 github.com Test whether GitHub's servers reply

nslookup github.com Check that GitHub's DNS resolves

traceroute github.com Trace where the connection drops

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder Flush the macOS DNS cache, then reload

android

How Our GitHub Down Detector Monitors Uptime in 2026

Official corporate dashboards rarely tell the truth immediately. isitdownrightnow.app takes a different approach by aggregating real community sentiment. If thousands of people suddenly complain about a GitHub outage at exactly the same time, we know the servers are actually down.

Our infrastructure maps the current problem report velocity directly against expected normal traffic. Once an abnormal surge is authenticated, the live charts automatically adjust to yellow or red. This crowdsourced methodology is why isitdownrightnow.app provides the most rapid and trustworthy GitHub status updates on the planet.
