Test: GitHub Enterprise Server ❓

This is different than GHE Cloud:

GitHub Enterprise Server is a self-hosted platform for software development within your enterprise. Your team can use GitHub Enterprise Server to build and ship software using Git version control, powerful APIs, productivity and collaboration tools, and integrations. Developers familiar with GitHub.com can onboard and contribute seamlessly using familiar features and workflows. For more information about how businesses can use GitHub's products to support their software development lifecycle, see "About GitHub for enterprises."

GitHub Enterprise Server runs on your infrastructure and is governed by access and security controls that you define, such as firewalls, network policies, IAM, monitoring, and VPNs. GitHub Enterprise Server is suitable for use by enterprises that are subject to regulatory compliance, which helps to avoid issues that arise from software development platforms in the public cloud.

GitHub distributes GitHub Enterprise Server as a self-contained virtual appliance. After you provision a virtual machine and install the appliance, the instance runs a Linux operating system with a custom application stack. For more information, see "System overview."

While I successfully tested GitHub Enterprise Cloud, It appears that GitHub Enterprise Server requires talking to the sales team, and I don't see a path to testing there. See these docs

I contacted @lostintangent to see if he might be able to help with GHEnterprise Testing for partners, but otherwise, I am not sure how we would test.

Not ideal being man-in-the-middle, but I do have access to GitHub Enterprise Server, if I can help let me know.

@lgonzalezsa I see you have already provided lots of useful information in #916. Is there any possibility I could be added to your GHES group? (I know this is may not be possible, but I thought I should ask).

Its hard to debug / test otherwhise so trying to find a way :)

[lgonzalezsa]

Would be awesome but not possible unless you became employee, which also would be awesome.

[hamelsmu]

LOL :) ok let me think about this a bit more I might come back to you with questions

Closing, since there are no longer any known issues with GitHub Enterprise Server provided you set GH_HOST and GITHUB_TOKEN.
