Hey everyone,
I’m having trouble accessing GitHub right now. It seems like the whole site is down. I can’t push my code, create pull requests, or even view repositories.
Is anyone else facing this issue? I’ve tried different browsers and even my phone, but nothing works. It’s really frustrating because I have a deadline coming up.
Does anyone know if GitHub has announced anything about this outage? Or maybe there’s a way to check their status page that I’m not aware of?
Any info would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
yeah, i’m havin the same problem. can’t access anything on github rn. it’s super annoying cuz i got work to do too. i checked their twitter and they haven’t said anything yet. maybe try github status page? hope they fix it soon
I’ve been dealing with this GitHub outage too, and it’s been a real headache. One thing I’ve found helpful in these situations is to use a local Git repository as a temporary workaround. It’s not ideal, but at least you can keep working and making commits locally.
For checking the status, I’ve found that sometimes Twitter is actually faster than the official status page. Following @githubstatus can give you real-time updates.
In my experience, these major outages usually don’t last more than a few hours. It’s frustrating, but hang in there. Maybe use this time to catch up on documentation or other tasks that don’t require GitHub access.
Also, for future reference, it’s worth setting up a mirrored repository on another service like GitLab or Bitbucket. It’s saved me a couple of times during similar outages.
I can confirm that GitHub is indeed experiencing widespread issues at the moment. I’ve been monitoring their status page (status.github.com) for the past hour, and they’ve acknowledged a major service disruption affecting Git operations, API requests, and web interface functionality. Their incident response team is actively investigating and working on a resolution. In situations like this, it’s best to wait it out and periodically check their status updates. For critical work, consider using local Git repositories temporarily if possible. These outages are rare but can happen to any service. It’s a good reminder to always have offline backups of important code.
