Création d’un ticket de support

Vous pouvez utiliser le Portail de support GitHub pour créer un ticket de support et parler avec le Support GitHub.

About support tickets

You can create your ticket using the GitHub Support portal or, if you would like to include diagnostics with your support ticket, you can use the GitHub Enterprise Server Management Console.

Note: If you have previously contacted GitHub Enterprise Support through the GitHub Enterprise Support portal, which is deprecated, you should use the GitHub Support portal to open new tickets.

After you create your ticket, you can view your ticket and the responses from GitHub Support on the GitHub Support portal. For more information, see "Viewing and updating support tickets."

Prerequisites

There are some steps you should follow before you start using the GitHub Support portal. For more information, see "Getting started with the GitHub Support portal."

What to include in your support ticket

GitHub Support does not have access to any private or internal GitHub resources. Providing GitHub Support with everything they need to understand, locate, and reproduce an issue will allow for a faster resolution and less back-and-forth between yourself and the support team. To ensure GitHub Support can assist you, consider the following points when you write your ticket:

  • Obtain information that can help GitHub Support track, prioritize, reproduce, or investigate the issue.
  • Include full URLs, repository names, and usernames wherever possible.
  • Reproduce the issue if applicable and be prepared to share the steps.
  • Be prepared to provide a full description of the issue and expected results.
  • Copy exact wording of all error messages related to your issue.
  • Determine if there is an existing ticket number in any ongoing communications with GitHub Support.
  • Include relevant logs and attach any screenshots that demonstrate the issue.

Choosing a contact person

Especially for tickets with Urgent priority, the person contacting GitHub Support should:

  • Be knowledgeable in your internal systems, tools, policies, and practices.
  • Be a proficient user of GitHub Enterprise Server.
  • Have full access and permissions to any services that are required to troubleshoot the issue.
  • Be authorized to make the recommended changes to your network and any applicable products.

Creating a support ticket using the GitHub Support portal

Note

Before you submit a ticket, you have the option of using Copilot in GitHub Support to receive an immediate response to your question. If Copilot in GitHub Support is unable to resolve your issue, you can continue submitting your ticket. For more information, see "About Copilot in GitHub Support."

  1. Navigate to the GitHub Support portal and choose one of the following options:

    • To sign in with your GitHub account, click Sign in with GitHub.
    • To sign up for GitHub, click Sign up for GitHub.
    • If you can't sign in or sign up, click Can't sign in? and fill out the form. You will be guided through an email verification process. You will need to upload your GitHub Enterprise license. For more information, see "Downloading your license for GitHub Enterprise."
  2. Select the Select personal account, enterprise account or organization dropdown menu and click the name of the account your support ticket is regarding.

    Notes:

    • For Premium, Premium Plus, or Engineering Direct support, you need to choose an enterprise account with a GitHub Premium Support plan. If you don't see an Enterprises section in the dropdown menu, you're not entitled to open support tickets on behalf of an enterprise account. For more information, see "About GitHub Support"
    • To see a list of your enterprise accounts with a GitHub Premium Support plan, you must be signed into the GitHub Support portal. For more information, see "Getting your enterprise started with the GitHub Support portal."

    Adding CC emails to your ticket:

    CC recipients’ abilities:

    • Those on CC can read every conversation and attachment related to the ticket.
    • They can also send a reply to the ticket.

    Support Portal visibility:

    • CCing an email address does not automatically display the ticket in the support portal for that email address.

    Admins, support entitled users:

    Note: You will only receive a callback if required for ticket resolution.
