GitHub Not Working? Try These Fixes

  1. 1Check GitHub's official status page at githubstatus.com for incident updates
  2. 2Try git operations over SSH instead of HTTPS — SSH and HTTPS use different infrastructure
  3. 3Clear your browser cache and cookies for github.com
  4. 4If git push/pull is failing, check if the issue is DNS-related by running 'nslookup github.com'
  5. 5Try accessing GitHub from a different network or use a VPN
  6. 6Check if GitHub Actions, Pages, or API are affected separately — they can have independent outages
  7. 7If authentication is failing, regenerate your personal access token or SSH key
