GitHub Now Allows Enterprises to Install Third-Party GitHub Apps
Enterprise owners can now install public, third-party GitHub Apps directly on their enterprise accounts. This enables central deployment of administrative integrations across all organizations within an enterprise.
GitHub has updated its platform to allow enterprise owners to install public GitHub Apps created outside their enterprise directly on their enterprise accounts. Previously, integrations of this nature had to be installed individually at the organization or repository levels, which increased administrative overhead for large organizations.
