Is GitHub Down?

Yes. Git is a distributed version control system, so your local repository works independently of GitHub. You can continue making commits, creating branches, and merging locally. You just won't be able to push to or pull from GitHub until the outage is resolved.

Queued workflow runs will wait until service is restored. Runs that are in progress may fail or time out depending on which component is affected. GitHub typically re-runs failed scheduled workflows after recovery, but you may need to manually re-trigger push or PR-based workflows.

GitHub Pages runs on separate infrastructure, so it may continue serving your site even during a GitHub.com outage. However, if the Pages-specific infrastructure is affected, your site will return error pages until the issue is resolved.

Any CI/CD system that pulls code from GitHub will be unable to fetch source code during an outage. This includes GitHub Actions, but also external services like Vercel, Netlify, and CircleCI that use GitHub webhooks. Deployments will resume once GitHub is back online.

GitHub offers a 99.9% uptime SLA for GitHub Enterprise Cloud customers. For free and Team plans, there is no formal SLA, but GitHub targets the same level of reliability. Historical uptime data is available on www.githubstatus.com.
