Summary

GitHub has updated the format of its authentication tokens, affecting several types, including personal access tokens and OAuth access tokens. As a result, GitHub Connect will no longer support GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) versions 3.1 or older after June 3, 2022, necessitating an upgrade to GHES 3.2 or newer to maintain access. GitHub Connect is essential for using the latest features such as Dependabot updates, license synchronization, and GitHub.com Actions synchronization. Customers needing to upgrade their GHES can refer to the provided instructions for upgrading.
