See what customers are saying about GitHub Premium Support
Our support engineer was very helpful in pointing me to the exact resource I needed in minutes.
The support agent took care of the request with a great sense of urgency and addressed the issue well.
I'd like to applaud our engineer for how he exceptionally responded to our query. This ticket was not a simple, one-answer investigation and I was very happy with how he explored multiple angles to investigate.
Our engineer was super helpful and spot on with figuring out the problem. The steps he suggested helped me figure out the problem quickly. Kudos!

Frequently asked questions
About GitHub Premium Support
Choosing your plan
What is escalation and incident management?
Escalation and incident management is the ability to escalate ticket progression in the GitHub support portal. After someone escalates a ticket, Support Incident Coordinators orchestrate all necessary parties to resolve the ticket. Additionally, Senior Escalation Engineers (SEEs) facilitate GitHub-internal technical communications and liaise with the rest of GitHub to improve the support team’s capability in similar future circumstances.
What is incident response management?
Incident response management helps manage the technical resources needed for case resolution. Support Incident Coordinators are available for incident response management 24/7.
What are my SLAs for initial response?
GitHub Premium Support and GitHub Premium Plus Support customers have SLAs. For urgent priority tickets, your SLA guarantees a 30-minute initial response time, which includes troubleshooting. For high priority tickets, your SLA provides a four-hour initial response time.
What’s included in initial troubleshooting?
For initial troubleshooting, the assigned Premium Support Engineer/Customer Reliability Engineer will review and acknowledge your ticket. To better understand the issue and start troubleshooting, the engineer may ask for additional information such as screenshots, error messages, log files, diagnostics files, support bundles, or the output of specific console commands. They may also collaborate with others in support, engineering, or in the regional incident commander.
If a callback was requested, the engineer will determine if screen sharing is the most effective way to drive ticket resolution. If so, they will invite you to join a screen-sharing session.
How do I get health check reports?
GitHub Premium Support and GitHub Premium Plus Support customers are entitled to unlimited automated health check reports. Additionally, GitHub Premium Plus Support customers can request quarterly enhanced health checks with findings, interpretations, and recommendations from a Customer Reliability Engineer (CRE).
How do I resolve a problem in GitHub Enterprise?
If you’re using the basic plan that’s included with your GitHub Enterprise license, you can get support via online ticket submission. If you have GitHub Premium Support or GitHub Premium Plus Support, you can submit a ticket online. For urgent tickets, GitHub Premium Support and GitHub Premium Plus Support customers can place a callback request and have a screen-sharing session with one of our Premium Support Engineers or Customer Reliability Engineers (CREs). Please refer to our plan comparison table for more details.
Rules and policies
If I do not use all the technical advisory hours in a given quarter, can they be carried over?
Premium Plus customers may use up to 12 technical advisory hours per quarter. Unused technical advisory hours may not be carried over into the next quarter.
How can the technical advisory support hours be used?
There are multiple ways you can use technical advisory hours, including but not limited to:
- Consultations regarding GitHub best practices and general recommendations
- GitHub Enterprise Server upgrade preparation and assistance
