What is a one sentence summary of your feature request?

Provide full DPI visibility into GitHub traffic

Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.

GitHub is the single largest destination for source code, and for most enterprise development teams it is also a sanctioned tool.
The risk is not github.com itself but which repository the code goes to: a developer pushing company code to a personal account, a forked repository outside the company organization, an unknown third-party repository, or a Gist.
Today EPP treats all of this as one domain, and in practice provides no visibility into it at all.

I understand that Git traffic and packet structures are complex.
However, I believe this area needs improvement, and doing so would give EPP a clear advantage over competing product

How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?

This is a major pain point. EPP cannot distinguish between git pull and git push — it only performs simple file-system-level tracing and blocking — so the only two options are to allow git for everyone or block it entirely.

Hi @JeremyG,

I wanted to share a positive update. Improvements to GitHub traffic visibility are included in our product roadmap.

However, this should not yet be considered a commitment to a specific scope or delivery timeline, as we are still investigating the available technical options. We have already made some initial progress, so please stay tuned for further updates.

BR, Krzysiek

Hi Krzysiek,

Thank you very much for the update — this is great news. It’s encouraging to hear that GitHub traffic visibility has made it onto the roadmap and that initial progress is already underway.

I fully understand that the scope and timeline are not yet fixed, and I appreciate your transparency on that.

If it would be helpful at any stage, I’d be glad to support the effort in whatever way I can — for example, providing a test environment, sharing real-world traffic samples and use cases from our enterprise development customers, or participating in early testing or beta validation. Please don’t hesitate to reach out; I’ll do my best to help within whatever scope I’m able to.
