For GitHub Enterprise (GHE) integrations, there are 5 high-level steps

1. Open GHE firewall to Haystack IPs

2. Create the Haystack Github App

3. Generate App secrets

4. Install organization to the newly created GitHub App

5. Provide Haystack with the App secrets

You can find detailed instructions on each step below.

1. Open GHE firewall to Haystack IPs

Haystack API uses the following IP addresses to connect to GHE.

35.209.159.249
35.208.83.132
