There are three available applications to connect your engineering team in Slack with GitHub Enterprise. Axolo, the collaborative application, the official GitHub-Slack application, and Toast, the personal notification bot. Learn more about how they work and how to set them up in our article.

Pull request templates allow your organizations to have a default text when you create a pull request on GitHub. It is quite useful to make sure to follow a standard process for every pull request and to have a to-do list for the author to check before requesting a review.

We have rolled out a version of our code review assistant (contact us to be part of the early access) for code review guidelines powered by GPT. The platform now allows Enterprise users to handle multiple organizations, while implementing a notification system to keep them informed. Furthermore, Axolo has expanded its features to include support for GitHub enterprise with proxy, batch import of engineers, the ability to add organization names in PR titles for enterprise customers, PR deletion upon merge, and a service to refresh GitLab tokens in case of failure.

What if I told you that there's a secret tool, a hidden gem among software developers that boosts productivity, speeds up the release cycles, and takes you on the fastest lane to version 1.0? Indeed, there is, and it's time we talk about it: rubber-stamping pull requests.

I had so much difficulty to install a GitHub Enterprise Server instance on Azure, that I decided to write how to do it in the most EASIEST way. This article was written in tears and blood, using the official GitHub guide, and a lot of resources on the internet. This article does not aim to give all aspects of the GitHub Enterprise Server installation, but only to give the minimum to get started.

A reverse proxy server can serve as an intermediary between your server and any other third party (for us, it's a GitHub enterprise server). When your server needs to make a request, it prompts the proxy server to initiate the request to the third party, and vice versa.

New CI/CD notification system, automated email notifications for failed payments, an easier sign-in process from the home page, improved team channel notifications, fun reminders, proxy support for self-hosted instances behind a VPN, enhanced GitHub branch protection, a search feature for Axolo documentation with SEO support, and much more!

In the vast ocean of the internet, where websites compete for attention like colorful fish in a coral reef, it's essential to make a splash with captivating visuals. Imagine sharing your website link on social media and having it stand out like a flamboyant peacock among a flock of plain pigeons.

It's been an exciting experience. Currently, we have around 50 to 60 engineers from eight different teams using the application. GitHub's notification system for the code review process is subpar. When we discovered Axolo, it was a game-changer. It's also bolstered our trunk-based development approach. The visibility of code reviews in Slack makes them a top priority for everyone, preventing delays and enabling us to deploy changes to production swiftly. Overall, it's been a fantastic improvement

Are you tired of the limitations of the official GitHub Slack integration? Do you want a more customizable and feature-rich solution for integrating GitHub with Slack? In this article, we'll explore why the official GitHub Slack integration is outdated and why Axolo is the superior alternative for boosting your team's productivity and workflow.
