Over the last 7 days, GitHub has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~192 ms. According to GitHub's official status page, the most recent outage began 2026-08-03 09:53 UTC and lasted 1h 31m (severity: degraded). It was reported as "Incident with Copilot".
GitHub hosts most of the world's open-source code and the CI, packages, and code review that surround it. Its parts fail independently and that matters in practice: git operations over HTTPS and SSH, the web interface, Actions, the API, and Packages each have their own status, so a push can succeed while Actions queues indefinitely.
