What to Do If GitHub Is Down
Check your internet connection
Before assuming GitHub is down, verify that your internet connection is working. Try loading a different website like google.com. If other sites also fail to load, the problem is with your connection, not GitHub.
Clear your browser cache and cookies
Corrupted cache data can prevent GitHub from loading properly. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again. In most browsers you can do this from Settings > Privacy > Clear Browsing Data.
Try a different browser or device
If GitHub does not load in your current browser, try a different one (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). You can also try accessing GitHub from your phone or a different computer to rule out device-specific issues.
Flush your DNS cache
Stale DNS records can prevent your device from connecting to GitHub. On Windows, open Command Prompt and run "ipconfig /flushdns". On Mac, open Terminal and run "sudo dscacheutil -flushcache". On Linux, run "sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches".
Try using a VPN
If GitHub is blocked in your region or your ISP is having routing issues, connecting through a VPN may resolve the problem. This is especially helpful if GitHub works for others but not for you.
Check the service health dashboard
Cloud providers like GitHub maintain detailed status dashboards showing the health of individual regions and services. Check GitHub's official status page for region-specific issues, and consider whether the problem affects your specific service or region.
