Not able to update pod. Always getting error GitHub is down

Question

I am using pod --version 1.3.1, OS: macOS Sierra (10.12.6)

when I am trying to update pod using the command:

$ pod update
Update all pods
Updating local specs repositories
[!] Failed to connect to GitHub to update the CocoaPods/Specs specs repo - Please check if you are offline, or that GitHub is down 

I am always getting above error from yesterday and still not found any proper solution.

Please help. Thanks in advance.
