Enabling GitHub Connect for GHE.com

Enable GitHub Connect to share data between GHE.com and sua instância do GitHub Enterprise Server.

You can access additional features and workflows on sua instância do GitHub Enterprise Server by enabling GitHub Connect. See "Sobre o GitHub Connect."

On GHE.com, GitHub Connect features do not include any functionality that relies on resources on GitHub.com.

What happens when GitHub Connect is enabled?

When you enable GitHub Connect, you configure a connection between sua instância do GitHub Enterprise Server and an enterprise account on GitHub Enterprise Cloud. A conexão usa HTTPS nas portas 443 ou 80 e é protegida pelo 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

Prerequisites

  • Administrative access: You need administrative access to both an enterprise account on GHE.com and a GitHub Enterprise Server instance.

  • Version requirement: Your GitHub Enterprise Server instance must run GitHub Enterprise Server 3.12 or later.

  • Proxy configuration: If using a proxy server, allow connectivity to the following GHE.com hostnames (replace SUBDOMAIN with your enterprise's subdomain).

    • SUBDOMAIN.ghe.com
    • api.SUBDOMAIN.ghe.com
    • uploads.SUBDOMAIN.ghe.com

    See "Configurando um servidor proxy Web de saída."

Step 1: Enable connection to GHE.com

By default, GitHub Connect connects GitHub Enterprise Server to GitHub.com. You must enable your instance to connect to your enterprise's subdomain of GHE.com.

To enable the connection, someone with administrative SSH access to sua instância do GitHub Enterprise Server must complete the following tasks.

  1. Conecte-se via SSH ao sua instância do GitHub Enterprise Server. Se sua instância for composta por vários nós, por exemplo, se a alta disponibilidade ou a replicação geográfica estiver configurada, efetue SSH no nó primário. Se você usar um cluster, poderá efetuar SSH em qualquer nó. Substitua HOSTNAME pelo nome do host da instância ou pelo nome do host ou endereço IP de um nó. Para obter mais informações, confira "Acesar o shell administrativo (SSH)".

    Shell
    ssh -p 122 admin@HOSTNAME
    
  2. To enable your instance to connect to GHE.com for GitHub Connect, run the following command. Replace SUBDOMAIN with the subdomain for your enterprise on GHE.com, for example octocorp.

    Shell
    ghe-config app.github.github-connect-ghe-com-enabled true
    ghe-config app.github.github-connect-ghe-com-subdomain "SUBDOMAIN"
    
  3. To apply the configuration, run the following command.

    Note

    During a configuration run, services on sua instância do GitHub Enterprise Server may restart, which can cause brief downtime for users.

    Shell
    ghe-config-apply
    

After the run completes, you can configure GitHub Connect.

Step 2: Enable GitHub Connect

To enable GitHub Connect, you must be an enterprise owner on both GitHub Enterprise Server and GitHub Enterprise Cloud.

People with a user account in both environments can connect the accounts from sua instância do GitHub Enterprise Server.

  1. Sign in to sua instância do GitHub Enterprise Server and GHE.com.

  2. No canto superior à direita de GitHub Enterprise Server, clique na sua foto do perfil e clique em Configurações da empresa.

    Captura de tela do menu suspenso que aparece quando você clica na foto de perfil no GitHub Enterprise Server. A opção "Configurações da empresa" está realçada em um contorno laranja escuro.

  3. Na barra lateral da conta corporativa, clique em GitHub Connect .

  4. Under "GitHub Connect is not enabled yet", click Enable GitHub Connect. By clicking Enable GitHub Connect, you agree to the "Termos do GitHub para produtos e recursos adicionais."

  5. To the right of the enterprise account you'd like to connect, click Connect.

  6. Choose which individual features of GitHub Connect you want to enable. See "Sobre o GitHub Connect."

Reenabling connections to GitHub.com

If you need to reenable GitHub Connect for GitHub.com, you must reconfigure your settings.

  1. Conecte-se via SSH ao sua instância do GitHub Enterprise Server. Se sua instância for composta por vários nós, por exemplo, se a alta disponibilidade ou a replicação geográfica estiver configurada, efetue SSH no nó primário. Se você usar um cluster, poderá efetuar SSH em qualquer nó. Substitua HOSTNAME pelo nome do host da instância ou pelo nome do host ou endereço IP de um nó. Para obter mais informações, confira "Acesar o shell administrativo (SSH)".

    Shell
    ssh -p 122 admin@HOSTNAME
    
  2. Run the following command.

    Shell
    ghe-config app.github.github-connect-ghe-com-enabled false
    
  3. To apply the configuration, run the following command.

    Note

    During a configuration run, services on sua instância do GitHub Enterprise Server may restart, which can cause brief downtime for users.

    Shell
    ghe-config-apply
    
  4. Enable GitHub Connect on GitHub.com. See "Enabling GitHub Connect for GitHub.com."
