GitHub not working for you?

If we show GitHub as up but it won't load for you, try these steps:

  1. Sign out and back in. Expired sessions cause many 'not loading' errors.
  2. Check whether your company network, VPN or firewall blocks GitHub.
  3. If the website fails, try the desktop or mobile app, or the other way round.
  4. Check GitHub's official status page for problems with specific features.

Why is GitHub not working for me?

If GitHub is up for us but not for you, the cause is usually local: an outdated browser cache, a DNS problem, your internet connection, a VPN or ad blocker, or an out-of-date app. Work through the steps under "GitHub not working for you?" above.

How do you check if GitHub is down?

Our server requests https://github.com/ every 2 minutes from outside your network. If GitHub answers at all, even with a redirect or a sign-in page, we count it as up. Timeouts, refused connections, DNS failures and 5xx server errors count as down. Press "Check now" to run a live test at any time.

Does GitHub have an official status page?

Yes. GitHub posts official status updates at githubstatus.com.
