Enabling automatic access to GitHub.com actions using GitHub Connect

To allow GitHub Actions on your enterprise instance to use actions from GitHub.com, you can connect your GitHub Enterprise Server instance to GitHub Enterprise Cloud.

Site administrators for GitHub Enterprise Server who are also owners of the connected GitHub Enterprise Cloud organization or enterprise account can enable access to all GitHub.com actions.

Note: GitHub Actions support on GitHub Enterprise Server 2.22 is a limited public beta. To review the external storage requirements and request access to the beta, see "Enabling GitHub Actions and configuring storage."

Note: GitHub-hosted runners are not currently supported on GitHub Enterprise Server. You can see more information about planned future support on the GitHub public roadmap.

By default, GitHub Actions workflows on GitHub Enterprise Server cannot use actions directly from GitHub.com or GitHub Marketplace.

To make all actions from GitHub.com available on your enterprise instance, you can connect GitHub Enterprise Server to GitHub Enterprise Cloud using GitHub Connect. For other ways of accessing actions from GitHub.com, see "About using GitHub.com actions on GitHub Enterprise Server."

Enabling automatic access to all GitHub.com actions

Before enabling access to all actions from GitHub.com on your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, you must connect your GitHub Enterprise Server instance to GitHub.com. For more information, see "Connecting GitHub Enterprise Server to GitHub Enterprise Cloud."

In the enterprise account sidebar, click Settings.
In the left sidebar, click GitHub Connect.
