Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I push to GitHub?

Push failures can occur due to GitHub outages, authentication issues, or network problems. Check our status checker above to verify if GitHub is experiencing issues. If GitHub is up, verify your SSH keys or personal access tokens are valid and not expired.

Why are GitHub Actions failing?

GitHub Actions failures during outages typically show as 'queued' indefinitely or fail with timeout errors. Check the GitHub Actions component status on their official status page. If GitHub is down, your workflows will automatically retry once service is restored.
