How often is the GitHub status updated?

The status data is fetched from GitHub's official status API and cached for 5 minutes. You can manually refresh at any time, or enable auto-refresh for continuous monitoring every 5 minutes.

What do the different status indicators mean?

Green (Operational) means the service is working normally. Yellow (Degraded) indicates performance issues or partial outages. Red (Outage) means a significant service disruption. Gray (Unknown) appears when status cannot be determined.

Can I see details about GitHub incidents?

Yes, the tool displays active incidents with expandable details including affected services, incident timeline, status updates, and links to the full incident report on GitHub's official status page.

Does this tool require a GitHub account?

No, this tool uses GitHub's public status API and doesn't require any authentication or GitHub account. It's completely free and works for everyone.

Why might GitHub Actions be slow but show as operational?

The status reflects GitHub's overall assessment of service health. Regional issues or queue backlogs may cause delays without triggering a status change. Check the official status page for more detailed regional information.

How can I get notified about GitHub outages?

While this tool provides manual monitoring, for automated notifications you can subscribe to GitHub's official status page at githubstatus.com via email, SMS, or RSS. Many teams also use tools like PagerDuty or Opsgenie for critical alerting.

What services does this tool monitor?

We monitor all core GitHub services: Git Operations (clone, pull, push), API Requests, Webhooks, GitHub Actions, GitHub Packages, GitHub Pages, Codespaces, GitHub Copilot, Issues, and Pull Requests.

When to Use GitHub Status

CI/CD Pipeline Failures: When your GitHub Actions workflows start failing unexpectedly, check if there's a platform-wide issue before debugging your code.

Git Push/Pull Issues: If you're experiencing slow or failed git operations, verify that Git Operations are functioning normally.

API Integration Problems: When your applications that integrate with GitHub API start failing, check API status before investigating your code.

Copilot Not Working: If GitHub Copilot stops providing suggestions, check the Copilot service status to confirm it's not a platform issue.
