Connect GitHub Enterprise Server (on-prem)

Create your account

If you don’t have an Aikido account yet, create one through Google or Microsoft first. This is required before you can connect your GitHub Enterprise Server.

Open the setup installation page, enter the URL of your GitHub Enterprise Server and click Next, Install App.

Install Aikido Github App on your Github Enterprise Server

A file named install.html is downloaded to your machine. It contains an HTML page with a form that sends a JSON payload to your GitHub Enterprise Server to create the GitHub App.

Open the file in your browser and select Install to continue the setup process.

After clicking "Install" you are redirected to a page on your GitHub Enterprise Server that prompts you to install the app. Choose Create GitHub App for User to create the app on your server.

Authorize Aikido Github app

Now you need to authorize the new GitHub App with your user account through OAuth. This step confirms that the app was created correctly and that you have permission to use it. The screen you see will be similar to the example below.

Connect Github organization

Choose the GitHub organisation where you want to install the application and link it to Aikido. You can add more organisations later. After selecting the organisation, confirm the authorization for the GitHub App.

You are now redirected back to Aikido where you can choose which repositories should be scanned. Select the repositories you want and continue. Aikido will start scanning the chosen applications.

Explore Aikido

After granting access and validating the repositories you want to scan, Aikido will automatically start scanning. After about 1 minute, you should see the first results come in!
