Is GitHub Down?

Shows GitHub status (operational / degraded / down) right in your toolbar.

**Is GitHub down right now - or is it just you?** This GitHub status checker answers that in one glance. It watches GitHub's official uptime feed and puts a live status badge in your browser toolbar, so you catch a GitHub outage or service disruption the second it starts — not ten minutes into debugging your own code. The toolbar icon doubles as a lightweight github status indicator: green means all systems operational, yellow flags degraded performance, orange signals a partial outage, red means a major outage. Click it for the full incident report. **Features** • Live badge — instant visual read on GitHub's status without opening a tab • Full component breakdown: Git Operations, API Requests, Webhooks, Issues, Pull Requests, GitHub Actions, Pages, Packages, Codespaces • Active incident / outage log pulled straight from GitHub's status page • Desktop notification the moment status changes — down or back up • Background auto-refresh every 5 minutes, plus one-click manual refresh • Zero setup — install and the status monitor runs itself • 100% powered by GitHub's own public status API (githubstatus.com) — no scraping, no unofficial middleman servers **Who this is for** Developers, DevOps engineers, SREs, and anyone whose CI/CD pipeline, pull requests, or deployments depend on GitHub staying up. When a build fails or a webhook goes quiet, this extension tells you in seconds whether it's a GitHub outage, a service disruption, or a bug in your own workflow — saving you from chasing a problem that was never yours to fix. **Privacy** This extension collects zero personal data. It only ever talks to GitHub's public status endpoint. No accounts, no tracking, no analytics.
