Find the information you need, faster

Getting the information you need quickly is essential to keeping your workflow efficient. The latest UI updates to GitHub repositories are thoughtfully designed to enhance productivity. It’s easier to find what you need using the improved code search, and special files are simple to spot with a prominent display alongside your README.

Understand risks and responses

Building and maintaining software demands insights into potential vulnerabilities and responses. This GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) update empowers teams to meet these requirements head-on. With greater accessibility into security reporting and clearer insights into security metrics and trends, it’s easier than ever to identify and address issues proactively, reducing risks down the line. And with insight into the adoption rates of security features at your organization, your teams are not only spotting vulnerabilities, but also helping team members understand their role in keeping your organization secure.

Work better (and faster) together

Effective collaboration demands efficiency. This version update is packed with features designed to get teams the tools and information they need, from migration tooling to centralized communication hubs. All of this is to help teams work cohesively across channels and projects, while keeping important context easily accessible.

Some feature highlights of this release:

  • Repository Custom Properties is a major enhancement to how repositories are managed and classified across GitHub organizations for easier organization and grouping.
  • Elasticsearch will be upgraded from Version 5 to Version 8, allowing the platform to take advantage of better performance and improved security posture. For more information regarding what to expect during the ES8 upgrade, see Elasticsearch and upgrading GHES to 3.13.
  • Enterprise and organization audit log events now include the applicable SAML and SCIM identity data associated with the user, easing the ability to correlate a GitHub handle to an individual’s corporate identity.
