About GitHub Connect
You can access additional features and workflows on 您的 GitHub Enterprise Server 实例 by enabling GitHub Connect. For more information, see "About GitHub Connect."
When you enable GitHub Connect, you configure a connection between 您的 GitHub Enterprise Server 实例 and an organization or enterprise account on GitHub Enterprise Cloud. Enabling GitHub Connect creates a GitHub 应用程序 owned by the organization or enterprise account on GitHub Enterprise Cloud. GitHub Enterprise Server uses the GitHub 应用程序's credentials to make requests to GitHub Enterprise Cloud.
GitHub Enterprise Server stores credentials from the GitHub 应用程序. The following credentials will be replicated to all nodes in a high availability or cluster environment, and stored in any backups, including snapshots created by GitHub Enterprise Server 备份实用程序.
- An authentication token, which is valid for one hour
- A private key, which is used to generate a new authentication token
Prerequisites
To use GitHub Connect, you must have an organization or enterprise account on GitHub.com that uses GitHub Enterprise Cloud. You may already have GitHub Enterprise Cloud included in your plan. 有关如何免费试用 GitHub Enterprise Cloud 的详细信息，请参阅“设置 GitHub Enterprise Cloud 试用版”。
If your organization or enterprise account on GitHub.com uses IP allow lists, you must add the IP address or network for 您的 GitHub Enterprise Server 实例 to your IP allow list on GitHub.com.

To configure a connection, your proxy configuration must allow connectivity to github.com, api.github.com, and uploads.github.com. For more information, see "Configuring an outbound web proxy server."
