Viewing and updating support tickets

You can view your support tickets and respond to GitHub Support using the GitHub Support portal.

About ticket management

Notes:

  • Urgent priority and GitHub Premium Support SLAs only apply to tickets associated with your enterprise account.
  • Tickets associated with an enterprise account can only be opened by owners, billing managers, and support-entitled members.

You can use the GitHub Support portal to view current and past support tickets and respond to GitHub Support. After 120 days, resolved tickets are archived, and archived tickets can only be viewed for enterprise accounts.

Your capabilities in the GitHub Support portal depend on the account you select when you submit a ticket.

Viewing your recent support tickets

  1. Navigate to the GitHub Support Portal.

  2. In the header, click My Tickets.

  3. In the list of tickets, click the subject of the ticket you want to view.
