GitHub Enterprise

  GitHub Enterprise is GitHub's offering for organizations that need advanced
  security, compliance, identity, and scale on top of the GitHub platform.
  It ships in two flavors: GitHub Enterprise Cloud, a hosted multi-tenant
  service on api.github.com with enterprise-managed users and SAML SSO; and
  GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES), a self-hosted appliance with the same
  REST and GraphQL APIs served from a customer's domain at /api/v3 and
  /api/graphql. Both expose the full GitHub REST API for repositories,
  issues, pull requests, actions, packages, advanced security, audit log,
  SCIM, and admin operations, authenticated with personal access tokens or
  GitHub App tokens.
