Служебные программы командной строки

You can execute these commands from anywhere on the VM after signing in as an SSH admin user. For more information, see "Accessing the administrative shell (SSH)."

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.

# 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

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

ghe-aqueduct

This utility displays information on background jobs, both active and in the queue. It provides the same job count numbers as the admin stats bar at the top of every page.

This utility can help identify whether the Aqueduct server is having problems processing background jobs. Any of the following scenarios might be indicative of a problem with Aqueduct:

• The number of background jobs is increasing, while the active jobs remain the same.
• The event feeds are not updating.
• Webhooks are not being triggered.
• The web interface is not updating after a Git push.

If you suspect Aqueduct is failing, contact GitHub Enterprise Support for help.

With this command, you can also pause or resume jobs in the queue.

$ ghe-aqueduct status
# lists queues and the number of currently queued jobs for all queues
$ ghe-aqueduct queue_depth --queue QUEUE
# lists the number of currently queued jobs for the specified queue
$ ghe-aqueduct pause --queue QUEUE
# pauses the specified queue
$ ghe-aqueduct resume --queue QUEUE
# resumes the specified queue

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.

ghe-cleanup-settings

ghe-config

With this utility, you can both retrieve and modify the configuration settings of your GitHub Enterprise Server instance.

$ ghe-config core.github-hostname
# Gets the configuration value of `core.github-hostname`
$ ghe-config core.github-hostname URL
# Sets the configuration value of `core.github-hostname` to the specified URL
$ ghe-config -l
# Lists all the configuration values

Allows you to find the universally unique identifier (UUID) of your node in cluster.conf.

$ ghe-config HOSTNAME.uuid

Allows you to exempt a list of users from REST API rate limits. A hard limit of 120,000 requests will still apply to these users. Usernames you provide for this command are case-sensitive. For more information, see "Resources in the REST API."

$ ghe-config app.github.rate-limiting-exempt-users "hubot github-actions[bot]"
# Exempts the users hubot and github-actions[bot] from rate limits. Usernames are case-sensitive.

ghe-config-apply

This utility applies Management Console settings, reloads system services, prepares a storage device, reloads application services, and runs any pending database migrations. It is equivalent to clicking Save settings in the Management Console's web UI or to sending a POST request to the /setup/api/configure endpoint.

You will probably never need to run this manually, but it's available if you want to automate the process of saving your settings via SSH.

ghe-config-apply

ghe-nwo

This utility returns a repository's name and owner based on the repository ID.

ghe-nwo REPOSITORY_ID

ghe-org-admin-promote

Use this command to give organization owner privileges to users with site admin privileges on the appliance, or to give organization owner privileges to any single user in a single organization. You must specify a user and/or an organization. The ghe-org-admin-promote command will always ask for confirmation before running unless you use the -y flag to bypass the confirmation.

You can use these options with the utility:

• The -u flag specifies a username. Use this flag to give organization owner privileges to a specific user. Omit the -u flag to promote all site admins to the specified organization.
• The -o flag specifies an organization. Use this flag to give owner privileges in a specific organization. Omit the -o flag to give owner permissions in all organizations to the specified site admin.
• The -a flag gives owner privileges in all organizations to all site admins.
• The -y flag bypasses the manual confirmation.

This utility cannot promote a non-site admin to be an owner of all organizations. You can promote an ordinary user account to a site admin with ghe-user-promote.

Give organization owner privileges in a specific organization to a specific site admin

ghe-org-admin-promote -u USERNAME -o ORGANIZATION

Give organization owner privileges in all organizations to a specific site admin

ghe-org-admin-promote -u USERNAME

Give organization owner privileges in a specific organization to all site admins

Use this command to immediately unlock the Management Console after 10 failed login attempts in the span of 10 minutes.

$ ghe-reactivate-admin-login

ghe-saml-mapping-csv

This utility allows administrators to output or update the SAML NameID mappings for users on an instance. The utility can output a CSV file that lists all existing mappings. You can also update mappings for users on your instance by editing the resulting file, then using the utility to assign new mappings from the file.

To output a CSV file containing a list of all user SAML NameID mappings on the instance, run the following command.

ghe-saml-mapping-csv -d

After output completes, the utility displays the path to the file. The default path for output depends on the patch release of GitHub Enterprise Server 3.5 your instance is running.

• In version 3.5.14 and earlier, the utility writes the file to /tmp.
• In version 3.5.15 and later, the utility writes the file to /data/user/tmp.

If you plan to update mappings, to ensure that the utility can access the file, we recommend that you keep the file in the default location.

To prepare to update mappings, edit the file and make the desired changes. To see the result of updating the mappings using the new values in your edited CSV file, perform a dry run. Run the following command, replacing /PATH/TO/FILE with the actual path to the file you edited.

ghe-saml-mapping-csv -u -n -f /PATH/TO/FILE

To update SAML mappings on the instance with new values from the file, run the following command, replacing /PATH/TO/FILE with the actual path to the file you edited.

ghe-saml-mapping-csv -u -f /PATH/TO/FILE

ghe-service-list

> 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

This utility returns a report of known weak SSH keys stored on the GitHub Enterprise appliance. You can optionally revoke user keys as a bulk action. The utility will report weak system keys, which you must manually revoke in the Management Console.

# Print a report of weak user and system SSH keys
$ 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-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 a standard bundle including data from the last 3 hours:

$ ssh -p 122 admin@HOSTNAME -- "ghe-cluster-support-bundle -p '3 hours' -o" > support-bundle.tgz

$ ssh -p 122 admin@HOSTNAME -- "ghe-support-bundle -p '4 days 8 hours' -o" > support-bundle.tgz

To create an extended bundle including data from the last 8 days:

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

To send a bundle to GitHub Support:

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

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

$ ssh -p 122 admin@HOSTNAME -- 'ghe-support-bundle -t TICKET_ID'

ghe-support-upload

This utility sends information from your appliance to GitHub Enterprise support. You can either specify a local file, or provide a stream of up to 100MB of data via STDIN. The uploaded data can optionally be associated with a support ticket.

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

ghe-support-upload -f FILE_PATH -t TICKET_ID

To upload data via STDIN and associating the data with a ticket:

ghe-repl-status -vv | ghe-support-upload -t TICKET_ID -d "Verbose Replication Status"

In this example, ghe-repl-status -vv sends verbose status information from a replica appliance. You should replace ghe-repl-status -vv with the specific data you'd like to stream to STDIN, and Verbose Replication Status with a brief description of the data. Typically, you will only execute this if you've contacted support and they've asked you to do so.

Upgrading GitHub Enterprise Server

ghe-upgrade

This utility installs or verifies an upgrade package. You can also use this utility to roll back a patch release if an upgrade fails or is interrupted. For more information, see "Upgrading GitHub Enterprise Server."

To verify an upgrade package:

ghe-upgrade --verify UPGRADE-PACKAGE-FILENAME

To install an upgrade package:

ghe-upgrade UPGRADE-PACKAGE-FILENAME

When rolling back an upgrade, you must use an upgrade package file with the .pkg extension. Hotpatch package files with the .hpkg extension are not supported.

ghe-upgrade --allow-patch-rollback EARLIER-RELEASE-UPGRADE-PACKAGE.pkg

A reboot is required after running the command. Rolling back does not affect the data partition, as migrations are not run on patch releases.

ghe-upgrade-scheduler

This utility manages scheduled installation of upgrade packages. You can show, create new, or remove scheduled installations. You must create schedules using cron expressions. For more information, see the Cron Wikipedia entry.

The ghe-upgrade-scheduler utility is best suited for scheduling hotpatch upgrades, which do not require maintenance mode or a reboot in most cases. This utility is not practical for full package upgrades, which require an administrator to manually set maintenance mode, reboot the instance, and unset maintenance mode. For more information about the different types of upgrades, see "Upgrading GitHub Enterprise Server"

To schedule a new installation for a package:

$ ghe-upgrade-scheduler -c "0 2 15 12 *" UPGRADE-PACKAGE-FILENAME

To show scheduled installations for a package:

$ ghe-upgrade-scheduler -s UPGRADE PACKAGE FILENAME
> 0 2 15 12 * /usr/local/bin/ghe-upgrade -y -s UPGRADE-PACKAGE-FILENAME > /data/user/common/UPGRADE-PACKAGE-FILENAME.log 2>&1

To remove scheduled installations for a package:

$ 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 "Managing GitHub Connect."

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

ghe-license-usage

ghe-org-membership-update

This utility will enforce the default organization membership visibility setting on all members in your instance. For more information, see "Configuring visibility for organization membership." Setting options are public or private.

ghe-org-membership-update --visibility=SETTING

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.

ghe-user-csv -o > users.csv

ghe-user-demote

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.

ghe-user-demote USERNAME

ghe-user-promote

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

ghe-user-promote USERNAME

ghe-user-suspend

This utility suspends the specified user, preventing them from logging in, pushing, or pulling from your repositories.

ghe-user-suspend USERNAME

ghe-user-unsuspend

This utility unsuspends the specified user, granting them access to login, push, and pull from your repositories.

ghe-user-unsuspend USERNAME
