GitHub not working? What to try

Website won't load

Try a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R), then a private window. If it loads there, clear the site's cookies and cache or disable extensions.

API or dashboard errors

Look at the HTTP status code. A 5xx error is on their side, 429 means you hit a rate limit, and 401 or 403 means a credentials or permissions problem.

Docs or projects not loading

Reload the page and check whether you're in offline mode. Avoid heavy editing during an outage because changes may not save; copy anything important locally.

Rule out your own connection

  • Check whether other sites load. If nothing loads, the problem is your internet connection.
  • Restart your router or switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data.
  • Turn off any VPN, ad blocker or DNS filter and try again.

GitHub status FAQ

Is GitHub down right now?

No. Our last check of GitHub 3 minutes ago found it up and responding. This page updates every 5 minutes.

Why is GitHub not working for me?

If this page shows GitHub as up, the problem is most likely on your side: your browser, app, Wi-Fi, DNS or VPN. Try a private window, another device, or mobile data. If it fails everywhere and other people are reporting problems, it's an outage.

When was the last GitHub outage?

The last confirmed GitHub outage we recorded started on September 21, 2026 and lasted 19 min.

How do I check GitHub status?

This page checks GitHub every 5 minutes from our server and shows the result, response times and outage history. GitHub also publishes an official status page with incident updates.

Can I get an alert when GitHub goes down?

Yes. Add GitHub (or your own website) as a monitor in Notifier and you'll get an email, SMS or phone call alert the moment it stops responding. The free plan covers 10 monitors. Start monitoring free.
