General

ghe-announce

This utility sets a banner at the top of every GitHub Enterprise page. You can use it to broadcast a message to your users.

You can also set an announcement banner using the enterprise settings on GitHub Enterprise Server. For more information, see "Customizing user messages on your instance."

# Sets a message that's visible to everyone
$ ghe-announce -s MESSAGE
> Announcement message set.
# Removes a previously set message
$ ghe-announce -u
> Removed the announcement message

ghe-check-disk-usage

This utility checks the disk for large files or files that have been deleted but still have open file handles. This should be run when you're trying to free up space on the root partition.

ghe-check-disk-usage

ghe-cleanup-caches

This utility cleans up a variety of caches that might potentially take up extra disk space on the root volume. If you find your root volume disk space usage increasing notably over time it would be a good idea to run this utility to see if it helps reduce overall usage.

ghe-cleanup-caches

ghe-cleanup-settings

This utility wipes all existing Management Console settings.

Tip: 通常これを実行するのは、サポートに連絡して、サポートから求められたとき� けです。

ghe-ssh-check-host-keys

This utility checks the existing SSH host keys against the list of known leaked SSH host keys.

$ ghe-ssh-check-host-keys

If a leaked host key is found the utility exits with status 1 and a message:

> One or more of your SSH host keys were found in the blacklist.
> Please reset your host keys using ghe-ssh-roll-host-keys.

If a leaked host key was not found, the utility exits with status 0 and a message:

> The SSH host keys were not found in the SSH host key blacklist.
> No additional steps are needed/recommended at this time.

ghe-ssh-roll-host-keys

This utility rolls the SSH host keys and replaces them with newly generated keys.

$ sudo ghe-ssh-roll-host-keys
Proceed with rolling SSH host keys? This will delete the
existing keys in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_* and generate new ones. [y/N]

# Press 'Y' to confirm deleting, or use the -y switch to bypass this prompt

> SSH host keys have successfully been rolled.

ghe-ssh-weak-fingerprints

$ ghe-ssh-weak-fingerprints

# Revoke all weak user keys
$ ghe-ssh-weak-fingerprints --revoke

ghe-ssl-acme

This utility allows you to install a Let's Encrypt certificate on your GitHub Enterprise appliance. For more information, see "Configuring TLS."

You can use the -x flag to remove the ACME configuration.

ghe-ssl-acme -e

ghe-ssl-ca-certificate-install

This utility allows you to install a custom root CA certificate on your GitHub Enterprise server. The certificate must be in PEM format. Furthermore, if your certificate provider includes multiple CA certificates in a single file, you must separate them into individual files that you then pass to ghe-ssl-ca-certificate-install one at a time.

Run this utility to add a certificate chain for S/MIME commit signature verification. For more information, see "About commit signature verification."

Run this utility when your GitHub Enterprise Server instance is unable to connect to another server because the latter is using a self-signed SSL certificate or an SSL certificate for which it doesn't provide the necessary CA bundle. One way to confirm this is to run openssl s_client -connect host:port -verify 0 -CApath /etc/ssl/certs from your GitHub Enterprise Server instance. If the remote server's SSL certificate can be verified, your SSL-Session should have a return code of 0, as shown below.

SSL-Session:
    Protocol  : TLSv1
    Cipher    : AES128-SHA
    Session-ID: C794EBCC3CBC10F747C9AFC029C03C1048FC99CFC34D13D7444E0F267C58DF4C
    Session-ID-ctx:
    Master-Key: 02A7C47CFD6EEC87D3C710E9DD87390E04EF82DDD7514AE03127D5DC1945FC0CAEFB5395791AEA598667EFA61B9EA8C5
    Key-Arg   : None
    Start Time: 1394581597
    Timeout   : 300 (sec)
    Verify return code: 0 (ok)

If, on the other hand, the remote server's SSL certificate can not be verified, your SSL-Session should have a nonzero return code:

SSL-Session:
    Protocol  : TLSv1
    Cipher    : AES128-SHA
    Session-ID: 82CB288051A6DB66094C50A69CF1292AEE7E54C6B01B659B98AB336F8C33863E
    Session-ID-ctx:
    Master-Key: 01B025B2F764043A27919A8D1355AAECD8844FF0831B1D664042334790574A6F4025BAB085D4ED71D71AAB3091B849E5
    Key-Arg   : None
    Start Time: 1394581782
    Timeout   : 300 (sec)
    Verify return code: 27 (certificate not trusted)

You can use these additional options with the utility:

The -r flag allows you to uninstall a CA certificate.
The -h flag displays more usage information.

ghe-ssl-ca-certificate-install -c /path/to/certificate

ghe-ssl-certificate-setup

This utility allows you to update an SSL certificate for your GitHub Enterprise Server instance.

For more information about this command or for additional options, use the -h flag.

ghe-ssl-certificate-setup

ghe-ssl-generate-csr

This utility allows you to generate a private key and certificate signing request (CSR), which you can share with a commercial or private certificate authority to get a valid certificate to use with your instance. For more information, see "Configuring TLS."

For more information about this command or for additional options, use the -h flag.

ghe-ssl-generate-csr

ghe-storage-extend

Some platforms require this script to expand the user volume. For more information, see "Increasing Storage Capacity".

$ ghe-storage-extend

ghe-version

This utility prints the version, platform, and build of your GitHub Enterprise Server instance.

$ ghe-version

ghe-webhook-logs

This utility returns webhook delivery logs for administrators to review and identify any issues.

ghe-webhook-logs

To show all failed hook deliveries in the past day:

ghe-webhook-logs -f -a YYYY-MM-DD

The date format should be YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, or YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS (+/-) HH:M.

To show the full hook payload, result, and any exceptions for the delivery:

ghe-webhook-logs -g delivery-guid

Clustering

ghe-cluster-status

Check the health of your nodes and services in a cluster deployment of GitHub Enterprise Server.

$ ghe-cluster-status

ghe-cluster-support-bundle

This utility creates a support bundle tarball containing important logs from each of the nodes in either a Geo-replication or Clustering configuration.

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 cluster support bundle directly to GitHub Enterprise support.

To create a standard bundle:

$ ssh -p 122 admin@hostname -- 'ghe-cluster-support-bundle -o' > cluster-support-bundle.tgz

To create an extended bundle:

$ ssh -p 122 admin@hostname -- 'ghe-cluster-support-bundle -x -o' > cluster-support-bundle.tgz

To send a bundle to GitHub Support:

$ ssh -p 122 admin@hostname -- 'ghe-cluster-support-bundle -u'

To send a bundle to GitHub Support and associate the bundle with a ticket:

$ ssh -p 122 admin@hostname -- 'ghe-cluster-support-bundle -t ticket-id'

ghe-diagnostics

ghe-support-bundle

ノート：Geo-replication設定もしくはGitHub Enterpriseクラスタリングを利用しているなら、Support Bundleを取得するにはghe-cluster-support-bundleコマンドを使わなければなりません。詳しい情� �については「コマンドラインユーティリティ」を参照してく� さい。

This utility creates a support bundle tarball containing important logs from your instance.

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

To send a bundle to GitHub Support:

$ 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. For more information, see "Connecting your enterprise account to GitHub Enterprise Cloud ."

By default, the list of users in the resulting JSON file is encrypted. Use the -h flag for more options.

`ghe-user-csv`

This utility exports a list of all the users in the installation into CSV format. The CSV file includes the email address, which type of user they are (e.g., admin, user), how many repositories they have, how many SSH keys, how many organization memberships, last logged IP address, etc. Use the -h flag for more options.

This utility demotes the specified user from admin status to that of a regular user. We recommend using the web UI to perform this action, but provide this utility in case the ghe-user-promote utility is run in error and you need to demote a user again from the CLI.

This utility promotes the specified user account to a site administrator.

ghe-user-promote some-user-name
