GitHub Not Working for You? It Might Not Be an Outage
If the status above shows no ongoing outage but GitHub isn't loading for you, the problem is likely on your side or with your internet provider.
Common Reasons GitHub Stops Working
- GitHub outage affecting specific services: Git operations, Actions, Packages, or the web UI
- GitHub Actions runners queue backing up during high-demand periods
- SSH or HTTPS push/pull failing due to a key authentication issue
- GitHub Pages deployment pipeline experiencing delays
- Rate limiting on the GitHub API blocking automated workflows
How to Fix GitHub Not Working
- Check the status above and githubstatus.com — GitHub lists affected components separately
- Test Git connectivity: ssh -T git@github.com
- If HTTPS push fails, check that your Personal Access Token has the correct scopes
- For SSH issues, verify your key is still added at github.com/settings/keys
- If Actions are slow, check the runner queue on your repository's Actions tab
- Switch between HTTPS and SSH remotes: git remote set-url origin git@github.com:user/repo.git
