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
