What this check measures
Official status page (Statuspage API). GitHub's own public status page. Every 5 minutes we read the overall indicator the GitHub team publishes (operational, minor issues, major or critical outage, maintenance). This reflects what GitHub has acknowledged: a fresh problem can take a few minutes to appear there, and a problem that affects only your account, region or network may never appear.

GitHub not working? Questions and answers
Is GitHub down for everyone or just me?
This page shows what our own checks see from a server in Europe, independent of your phone, Wi-Fi or mobile network. If this page says GitHub is up but it fails for you, the problem is more likely local: your internet connection, DNS, your ISP's route, the app version, or your account. If this page shows failures too, it is probably down for many people.
What should I do if GitHub is not working?
Check the official status page linked above, reload or force-close and reopen the app, try mobile data instead of Wi-Fi (or the other way round), and clear the browser cache. For API, CI or deploy failures, retry with exponential backoff and check which component the status page lists; queued jobs usually resume on their own.
How often is GitHub checked?
Every 5 minutes, around the clock. Each check is stored, so the uptime figures and the history on this page are real measurements, not user reports.
How can I get alerted when GitHub has an outage?
Create a free Vigil account and add a monitor for GitHub: a dependency monitor that watches its official status page, or an uptime check of the exact URL your business relies on. Vigil alerts you on Telegram, Slack, Discord, email or webhook.
