About GitHub Connect
GitHub Connect enhances GitHub Enterprise Server by allowing お使いの GitHub Enterprise Server インスタンス to benefit from the power of GitHub.com in limited ways. After you enable GitHub Connect, you can enable additional features and workflows that rely on GitHub.com, such as Dependabot alerts for security vulnerabilities that are tracked in the GitHub Advisory Database.
GitHub Connect does not open お使いの GitHub Enterprise Server インスタンス to the public internet. None of your enterprise's private data is exposed to GitHub.com users. Instead, GitHub Connect transmits only the limited data needed for the individual features you choose to enable. Unless you enable license sync, no personal data is transmitted by GitHub Connect. For more information about what data is transmitted by GitHub Connect, see "Data transmission for GitHub Connect."
Enabling GitHub Connect will not allow GitHub.com users to make changes to GitHub Enterprise Server.
To enable GitHub Connect, you configure a connection between お使いの GitHub Enterprise Server インスタンス and enterprise account on GitHub.com that uses 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。 For more information, see "GitHub Connect の管理."
After enabling GitHub Connect, you will be able to enable features such as automatic user license sync and Dependabot alerts. For more information about all of the features available, see "GitHub Connect features."
