GitHub, under continuous watch.

If GitHub's nameservers moved tonight, every CI pipeline on earth would follow the new records without asking. DomainDrift reads this estate about every 5 minutes and signs each reading - here is the live record.

The briefing2026-10-18

This is the 2026-10-18 domain briefing. All five monitored GitHub domains held steady. No material changes occurred this window.

Three domains run on Cloudflare. Two run on GitHub Pages. github.com registration expires in 9 days. Only github.com uses published Microsoft 365 mail. Two domains do not answer web requests.
