Enabling GitHub Connect for GitHub.com

You can access additional features and workflows on tu instancia de GitHub Enterprise Server by enabling GitHub Connect. See "Acerca de GitHub Connect."

What happens when GitHub Connect is enabled?

When you enable GitHub Connect, you configure a connection between tu instancia de GitHub Enterprise Server and an enterprise account on GitHub Enterprise Cloud. La conexión usa HTTPS a través de los puertos 443 o 80 y está protegido por TLS.

Enabling GitHub Connect creates a GitHub App owned by the enterprise account on GitHub Enterprise Cloud. GitHub Enterprise Server uses the GitHub App's credentials to make requests to GitHub Enterprise Cloud.

GitHub Enterprise Server stores credentials from the GitHub App. 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 Backup Utilities.

An authentication token, which is valid for one hour
A private key, which is used to generate a new authentication token
