Is GitHub Down Right Now?
GitHub is the world’s largest home for code. Developers host projects, review pull requests, and ship software there. Microsoft bought it in 2018 for 7.5 billion dollars. Millions of repos depend on it daily.
This page shows the live GitHub status. You can check if Actions is down, if Copilot broke, or if the main site itself is offline. Trouble often hits one part while the rest looks fine. GitHub Issues is the tracker where projects collect bugs, and it stalls when the database side degrades. Many project teams also keep a Discord server, where users report bugs and chat with the maintainers.
Is GitHub Down for Me or Everyone?
Check the report chart above. Spikes mean many developers are hit at once. Low reports mean your repo, workflow, or network is likely at fault. Check the official status page too, since it tracks each part separately.
Is GitHub Actions Down?
Actions is GitHub’s most fragile part. The GitHub Actions status line here tracks those queued runs minute by minute. A GitHub Actions outage is those queued runs stopping altogether. Workflow runs fail or sit queued during degradations. In one October 2026 incident, nearly half of hosted runs failed in the worst 90 minutes.
Run logs can also go missing during backend trouble. You cannot see why jobs failed. Nothing is lost, but you fly blind until it recovers.
On August 6, 2026, a job-dispatch failure trapped runners in retry loops. Global Actions success rates fell to 30 to 40 percent for nearly 11 hours. It was the second-longest Actions degradation on record and hit Pages, webhooks, and Copilot integrations along the way.
Why Is GitHub Copilot Not Working?
Copilot can break on its own. It depends on separate AI model providers. When a provider degrades, completions stop and chat fails in editors.
One September 2026 incident degraded Copilot’s providers for over 10 hours. Check the Copilot part of the status page before you reinstall anything.
Why Are My Webhooks Delayed?
Webhook delivery gets throttled during infrastructure incidents. It can drop to a fraction of normal speed. CI triggers and integrations arrive late.
Events are usually delayed, not lost. Systems catch up after the incident clears. Check the Webhooks part of the status page.
Is GitHub Pages Not Deploying?
Pages builds depend on Actions runners. When Actions degrades, new deploys stall or fail. Already published sites usually keep serving fine.
A Pages-specific issue gets its own status entry. Retrying the deploy after recovery normally works. No site content is lost.
Common GitHub Problems and Fixes
Actions workflows failing or stuck in queue
Actions workflows failing or stuck in queue: Platform degradation, not your code, when many fail at once. Check the status page. Wait for recovery instead of rerunning everything.
Workflow run logs delayed or missing
Workflow run logs delayed or missing: Backend trouble hides logs during incidents. The data is not lost. Wait for the backend to recover, then inspect.
Webhook deliveries stalled
Webhook deliveries stalled: Throughput drops during incidents. Triggers arrive late. This is platform-side; check the status page and wait.
Pull request creation fails
Pull request creation fails: Database-related incidents block PRs and merges. Code review stops across the platform. Wait for the incident to clear.
Pages builds stall
Pages builds stall: Actions degradation cascades into Pages. Existing sites stay up. Redeploy after the incident resolves.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I fix a push to GitHub that keeps getting rejected?
A push is rejected when the branch on GitHub has newer commits than your local copy. Pull the latest changes first, fix any conflicts, and push again. If you get a password prompt, switch to a personal access token or an SSH key, since password pushes no longer work.
Why are my GitHub Actions workflows failing?
Usually platform degradation, not your code. Jobs fail to start or queue long during incidents. Check the status page and wait rather than mass rerunning.
Why is GitHub Copilot not working?
Copilot depends on outside model providers and breaks independently. Check the Copilot status entry before touching your editor setup.
Why is GitHub Pages not deploying?
Pages needs Actions runners. Degraded Actions stalls deploys while live sites keep serving. Retry after the incident clears.
Why are my webhooks delayed?
Delivery throttles during incidents. Events arrive late, not lost. Check the Webhooks status entry and let systems catch up.
How often does GitHub go down?
Multiple incidents per month, with Actions hit most. Major events include a 10-hour August 2026 outage. The company admits it misses its own availability goals. A GitHub outage rarely lasts long, but Actions queues clear slowly.
