Integrating Invicti Enterprise with GitHub

This document is for:
Invicti Enterprise On-Demand, Invicti Enterprise On-Premises

GitHub is a web-based hosting service for version control. GitHub is mostly used for code, but it has an issue tracking feature with labels, milestones, assignees, and a search engine.

Every issue is referenced in a card, which can then be dropped into a repository, used to track the progress of the bug, discuss fixes, and assign relevant tasks to team members.

This topic explains how to configure Invicti Enterprise to send a detected vulnerability to GitHub.

For further information, see What Systems Does Invicti Integrate With?.
