Enabling GitHub Connect for GitHub.com

You can access additional features and workflows on お使いの GitHub Enterprise Server インスタンス by enabling GitHub Connect. See "GitHub Connect について."

What happens when GitHub Connect is enabled?

When you enable GitHub Connect, you configure a connection between お使いの GitHub Enterprise Server インスタンス and an enterprise account on GitHub Enterprise Cloud. 接続には、ポート 443 または 80 経由の HTTPS が使用され、TLS によって保護されます。

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

Prerequisites

You must have an enterprise account on GitHub.com that uses GitHub Enterprise Cloud.
Your enterprise account on GitHub.com must be invoiced. Enterprise accounts on the free trial of GitHub Enterprise Cloud or that pay by credit card cannot be connected to お使いの GitHub Enterprise Server インスタンス.
If your enterprise account on GitHub.com uses IP allow lists, you must add the IP address or network for お使いの GitHub Enterprise Server インスタンス to your IP allow list. See "Enterprise でセキュリティ設定のポリシーを適用する" in the GitHub Enterprise Cloud documentation.
To configure a connection, your proxy configuration must allow connectivity to github.com, api.github.com, and uploads.github.com. For more information, see "アウトバウンドの Web プロキシサーバーの設定."
If you have previously enabled GitHub Connect for an enterprise on GHE.com, you must change your configuration to allow connections to GitHub.com. See "GHE.com での GitHub Connect の有効化."
