So far so good means that everything has been going well up to now. This idiom is used when a task or situation is working out as planned so far.

The expression has been used in English since at least the 1800s. It reflects the idea that although the result is not known yet, the progress until now has been successful.

The cakes are baking nicely and have not burned yet, so far so good.
