Welcome to Berkeley's own GitHub Enterprise Service!

GitHub @Berkeley is the Berkeley campus instance of GitHub Enterprise, operated by the Data Solutions Integration Services (DSIS) team within Berkeley Information Technology (bIT). It is offered as a centrally funded service to UC Berkeley Campus staff, faculty, students and sponsored affiliates. GitHub @Berkeley, like the main GitHub.com site, is self-service and self-supported. Detailed support terms can be found in the GitHub @Berkeley SLA.

Appropriate Content

GitHub @Berkeley is only intended to store data that falls under Data Protection Level P2 classification. It should not be used to store sensitive data, including (but not limited to):

  • Authentication credentials that would allow someone to gain access to a system that normally requires a username/password, or other credential
  • Security related information about configurations, topologies or protocols that may provide information for an unauthorized user to compromise protected systems
  • Private and confidential information related to health, medical, financial or credit information
  • Personally identifying information that could lead to identity theft, such as driver's license numbers, social security numbers, or any campus personal ID
  • Unsecure or non-anonymized research data that includes PII which may result in the compromise of test subject privacy or confidentiality requirements

User Responsibilities

Users are responsible for the security and privacy of their own content through thoughtful use of Github Enterprise security/privacy settings and consideration of what content is appropriate to store in the service.

GitHub @Berkeley is not intended as a file storage/sharing service - view available options at bConnected. Files larger than 100MB will not be accepted for checkin/commit and we request that users keep their overall repository size under 1GB. Please see the guidelines published by GitHub.
