Availability counts operational or degraded time as available, averaged equally across all monitored components. Partial outages count as half downtime and major outages count in full, scheduled maintenance is excluded from the calculation, and periods with no recorded status are counted as available rather than assumed down. Each component is tracked independently to give you a clear picture of overall service reliability.

Frequently asked questions about GitHub

Common questions about monitoring GitHub and understanding service status

Is GitHub down right now?

GitHub's status source currently reports Operational. Last checked Nov 8, 2026 2:01 PM UTC. Statusfield tracks 12 components. A reported operational state does not rule out a local problem or an incident the provider has not yet reported.

How do I get notified when GitHub goes down?

Create a Statusfield account, select the GitHub components you depend on, and configure notification channels and status filters. Alerts follow detected changes that match your monitoring settings. Available channels and limits depend on your plan; delivery timing also depends on the source update and successful checks.

Why monitor GitHub alongside my other vendors?

Statusfield brings GitHub's reported component status together with your other vendors in one dashboard. You can choose the components you depend on and configure notification channels and status filters. The available channels and limits depend on your plan. Vendor status pages differ in their own subscription options.

What do GitHub status levels mean?

GitHub status levels indicate service health: Operational (all systems working normally), Degraded Performance (reduced functionality), Partial Outage (some components affected), Major Outage (significant service disruption), and Under Maintenance (scheduled maintenance). Statusfield tracks these statuses across 12 components to provide granular monitoring.

What should I do when GitHub is down?

When GitHub is down: 1) Check the affected components and any available incident updates, 2) Review your application's GitHub integration for fallback mechanisms, 3) Check the provider's support channels for recovery information, 4) Configure Statusfield alerts for detected status changes. Recovery times depend on the incident; Statusfield does not predict when the provider will restore service.

Has GitHub been down today?

The status timeline above is the record: it shows every incident, outage and maintenance window Statusfield has seen for GitHub over the last 30 days, with the times each began and ended. GitHub is not reporting a disruption right now; check the timeline for anything earlier today.

Why is GitHub not working for me?

If GitHub isn't working: 1) Check Statusfield to confirm if there's a service-wide outage, 2) Verify your internet connection, 3) Clear your browser cache and cookies, 4) Try accessing GitHub from a different network or device, 5) Check GitHub's official status page for regional issues. If GitHub shows operational but you're still experiencing issues, the problem may be local to your account or network.

Is GitHub down for everyone or just me?

Statusfield displays the status reported for 12 GitHub components. Compare the affected components with your own errors and the provider's latest updates. An operational status does not rule out a regional, account-specific, or unreported problem.

How can I reduce alert fatigue from GitHub status emails?

Use Statusfield to consolidate your dependencies into one dashboard. Choose which GitHub components to monitor, select the notification channels included in your plan, and configure status filters so routine updates do not go to the same destination as major outages.

How do I set up GitHub monitoring in 3 steps?

1) Create a Statusfield account — eligible new accounts can choose a free trial, no card required. 2) Search for "GitHub" in the service catalog and click "Monitor" to add it to your dashboard. 3) Configure the notification channels included in your plan and choose which severities should trigger alerts.

What notification channels does Statusfield support for GitHub alerts?

Route GitHub status changes to email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, Discord or HTTP webhooks, depending on your plan. Choose the supported components and events that matter to your team, then test the destination and confirm your routing rules. Delivery depends on detected changes, source availability and the destination.

GitHub isn't the only vendor you depend on — and an outage at any of them looks the same to your customers.
