Connect to GitHub Enterprise about desktop HOT 2 CLOSED

I'm trying to use the Linux version to connect to our GitHub Enterprise version. I have managed to get the desktop application work on Ubuntu, but it won't connect to the enterprise version.

Can you elaborate on this? It's not clear what version you're running or whether you're running from source.

I then realised that it is the OAuth issue as mentioned in that document.

If you're building from source you'll need to create an OAuth application on the GHE instance and add that in, as discussed in the other issue.

from desktop.

I'm going to close this out as unclear, but I'll add to the comments from the initial thread:

It will work for me, but my colleagues want to use the Linux version as well and I won't be able to repeat this process to create their "own" version for all of them if you see what I mean.

If you've created your own OAuth Client ID and secret to embed in the Desktop install, you could package that up (see the distribution dependencies for Ubuntu, for example) and then run yarn run package to generate the necessary installer.

But for the moment the installers on this fork should work with GitHub Enterprise (unless it's a really old installation, desktop#1628 has some context and clues for what to look for).
