ghe-diagnostics
This utility performs a variety of checks and gathers information about your installation that you can send to support to help diagnose problems you're having.
Currently, this utility's output is similar to downloading the diagnostics info in the Management Console, but may have additional improvements added to it over time that aren't available in the web UI. For more information, see "Creating and sharing diagnostic files."
ghe-diagnostics
ghe-support-bundle
Note: If you are using a Geo-replication configuration, or GitHub Enterprise Clustering, you should use the ghe-cluster-support-bundle
command to retrieve the support bundle. For more information, see "Command-line utilities."
By default, the command creates the tarball in /tmp, but you can also have it cat
the tarball to STDOUT
for easy streaming over SSH. This is helpful in the case where the web UI is unresponsive or downloading a support bundle from /setup/support doesn't work. You must use this command if you want to generate an extended bundle, containing older logs. You can also use this command to upload the support bundle directly to GitHub Enterprise support.
To create a standard bundle:
$ ssh -p 122 admin@hostname -- 'ghe-support-bundle -o' > support-bundle.tgz
To create an extended bundle:
$ ssh -p 122 admin@hostname -- 'ghe-support-bundle -x -o' > support-bundle.tgz

. The uploaded data can optionally be associated with a support ticket.
To send a file to GitHub Support and associate the file with a ticket:
ghe-support-upload -f path/to/your/file -t ticket-id
To upload data via STDIN
and associating the data with a ticket:
ghe-repl-status -vv | ghe-support-upload -t ticket-id -d "Verbose Replication Status"
In this example, ghe-repl-status -vv
sends verbose status information from a replica appliance. You should replace ghe-repl-status -vv
with the specific data you'd like to stream to STDIN
, and Verbose Replication Status
with a brief description of the data. Typically, you will only execute this if you've contacted support and they've asked you to do so.
Upgrading GitHub Enterprise Server
ghe-upgrade
This utility installs or verifies an upgrade package. You can also use this utility to roll back a patch release if an upgrade fails or is interrupted. For more information, see "Upgrading GitHub Enterprise Server."
To verify an upgrade package:
ghe-upgrade --verify UPGRADE-PACKAGE-FILENAME
To install an upgrade package:
ghe-upgrade UPGRADE-PACKAGE-FILENAME
When rolling back an upgrade, you must use an upgrade package file with the .pkg extension. Hotpatch package files with the .hpkg extension are not supported.
ghe-upgrade --allow-patch-rollback EARLIER-RELEASE-UPGRADE-PACKAGE.pkg
A reboot is required after running the command. Rolling back does not affect the data partition, as migrations are not run on patch releases.
ghe-upgrade-scheduler
This utility manages scheduled installation of upgrade packages. You can show, create new, or remove scheduled installations. You must create schedules using cron expressions. For more information, see the Cron Wikipedia entry.
To schedule a new installation for a package:

To remove scheduled installations for a package:
$ ghe-upgrade-scheduler -r UPGRADE PACKAGE FILENAME
ghe-update-check
This utility will check to see if a new patch release of GitHub Enterprise is available. If it is, and if space is available on your instance, it will download the package. By default, it's saved to /var/lib/ghe-updates. An administrator can then perform the upgrade.
A file containing the status of the download is available at /var/lib/ghe-updates/ghe-update-check.status.
To check for the latest GitHub Enterprise release, use the -i
switch.
$ ssh -p 122 admin@hostname -- 'ghe-update-check'
User management
ghe-license-usage
This utility exports a list of the installation's users in JSON format. If your instance is connected to GitHub Enterprise Cloud, GitHub Enterprise Server uses this information for reporting licensing information to GitHub Enterprise Cloud.
