Managing GitHub Connect

About GitHub Connect

You can access additional features and workflows on your GitHub Enterprise Server instance by enabling GitHub Connect. For more information, see "About GitHub Connect."

When you enable GitHub Connect, you configure a connection between your GitHub Enterprise Server instance and an organization or enterprise account on GitHub Enterprise Cloud. Enabling GitHub Connect creates a GitHub App owned by the organization or 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

To use GitHub Connect, you must have an organization or enterprise account on GitHub.com that uses GitHub Enterprise Cloud. You may already have GitHub Enterprise Cloud included in your plan. GitHub Enterprise Cloud を無料で試す方法の詳細については、「GitHub Enterprise Cloud の試用版を設定する」を参照してく� さい。

If your organization or enterprise account on GitHub.com uses IP allow lists, you must add the IP address or network for your GitHub Enterprise Server instance to your IP allow list on GitHub.com. For more information, see "Managing allowed IP addresses for your organization" and "Enforcing policies for security settings in your enterprise" 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 "Configuring an outbound web proxy server."
