How Does It Affect You?

If your pushes, pulls, or clones are failing or unusually slow, the cause is most likely on GitHub’s side, not your machine. Opening and viewing pull requests may fail, while Issues and Actions may be slower than usual.

Check GitHub’s official status page before changing settings or network configuration on your machine. If the work is not urgent, wait until GitHub announces the incident is resolved before pushing important code or running deployments through Actions.
