About GitHub
GitHub hosts Git repositories, issues, pull requests, GitHub Actions (CI/CD), Packages (npm, Docker, Maven registries), Codespaces, and Copilot. Outages break in predictable patterns: Git operations (push/pull/clone) fail when the backend is degraded, Actions queue up when the runner orchestrator has issues, the web UI fails while the API works (or vice versa), and Copilot completions silently stop. Any of these directly blocks engineering work, push failures stop deploys, Actions failures block merges, and Codespaces outages stop in-browser dev work entirely. GitHub also sees occasional incident storms around major auth events (e.g. SSH key-type rotations).
The official GitHub status page is at www.githubstatus.com. However, official status pages are often updated manually and can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours. Independent monitoring catches issues faster.
