I have a working Github Page. (Specifically: a Project Page with Jekyll that lives at [username].github.io/[project_name]/.)

I can deploy. (By pushing changes to my gh-pages branch and waiting a few minutes for it to build.)

How can I check the deploy/build status?

It's annoying to wait an unknown number of minutes after I push my changes to Github. I searched for 20 minutes and was surprised to find nothing. Am I misunderstanding something or using the wrong terms? o.O

    Obviously you can look at the URL where it lives yourself, so what exactly are you wanting? A notification? – Robin Green Nov 26 '13 at 21:57

    Honestly? A progress bar :D But a status message would be cool too (it's 'building' still? great, it's not broken). And if that's too much to ask for, a notification would be waaay better than nothing. – thewillcole Nov 26 '13 at 22:03

The easiest thing to do is to go to the commits page for your repo (https://github.com/USERNAME/REPO/commits/master) and there will be a green check mark when it's done building. For example:

enter image description here

You can also query the Github API. For example using curl:

$ curl -u USERNAME https://api.github.com/repos/USERNAME/REPO/pages/builds/latest

{
  "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/USERNAME/REPO/pages/builds/12345678",
  "status": "built",
  ...
"created_at": "2018-07-26T17:23:42Z"

https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/pages/#get-latest-pages-build

Some example statuses you might see:

  • queued
  • building
  • built
  • error

A simple solution is to add a time-stamp somewhere in your site.

For example, I added a time-stamp in my about page (EDIT again: I have put time-stamp inside my rss.xml now). Then I'd know if the site has been deployed or not.

Inside my rss.xml, I have:

<lastBuildDate>{{ site.time | date_to_rfc822 }}</lastBuildDate>

It gives time-stamp after deploying:

<lastBuildDate>Tue, 29 Apr 2014 21:07:52 +1200</lastBuildDate>

  1. On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the repository.

  2. On the right side, you will find Environments and Github Pages.

  3. Click on GitHub pages to see the deployment status
