GitHub Enterprise

Overview

Heeler connects to your GitHub Enterprise (GHE) account by using a GitHub App that you create in your GHE account. Your GitHub App will require information about Heeler (documented below) plus a Secret, which you will need to get from us directly. Please contact us via Slack or email for the Secret.

Requirements

  • To connect to GitHub Enterprise, you must have permission to create a GitHub App. For Heeler to use the GitHub App, it must have the following permissions and subscribe to the following events:

    • Permissions:

      • Repository: Administration (read-only), Checks (read and write), Contents (read-only), Dependabot alerts (read-only), Dependabot secrets (read-only), Pull requests (read-only)

      • Organization: Members (read-only)

    • Events: Pull requests, Push, Release

  • If your organization uses an IP Allow List, ensure that Heeler's outbound IP addresses are added for ports 443 and 22.

    • 44.221.229.40

    • 52.73.231.96
