This guide is targeted at system administrators and operations / security specialists. It documents the process of deploying GitHub Enterprise in your organization and includes important information on operational concerns like setting up backups and a DR plan, integrating with external authentication, network, and monitoring services, and scaling as usage grows over time.

GitHub Enterprise is distributed as a virtual machine image that you install and manage within your existing infrastructure. If you have not already purchased GitHub Enterprise, see enterprise.github.com for more information on features and frequently asked questions. To sign up for a trial, visit the trial sign-up page.
