Feature Request: Add Support for GitHub Enterprise Server Instances

[cbjuan]

Summary

Request to add compatibility for GitHub Enterprise Server instances that use custom domains (e.g., github.<company>.com, github.<company>.xxx) to enable gitingest functionality for organizations using on-premises or private GitHub Enterprise deployments.

Background

GitHub Enterprise Server is a self-hosted version of GitHub that many organizations use for their internal repositories. These instances typically use custom domains like:

• github.company.com
• github.acme.corp
• git.company.internal
• github.enterprise.org

Currently, gitingest appears to only support repositories hosted on github.com, which limits its usefulness for organizations that host their code on GitHub Enterprise Server instances.

Use Case

As a developer working with GitHub Enterprise Server, I would like to:

1. Use gitingest to analyze repositories hosted on our enterprise instance
2. Generate prompt-friendly text digests from private enterprise repositories
3. Use both the CLI tool and web interface with enterprise repositories

Current Behavior

• ✅ Works: https://github.com/user/repo
• ❌ Doesn't work: https://github.company.com/user/repo

Proposed Solution

URL Pattern Recognition (simplest case possible)

Enhance gitingest to recognize and handle GitHub Enterprise URLs by:

• Detecting URLs that match the pattern github.*
• Supporting authentication for private enterprise repositories

Example Usage

CLI

# Current (github.com)
gitingest https://github.com/user/repo

# Proposed (enterprise)
gitingest https://github.company.com/user/repo
# or (typically the GitHub Enterprise require always tokens)
gitingest https://github.company.com/user/repo --token $GHE_PAT_ENTERPRISE

Benefits

• Enables gitingest usage for the many organizations using GitHub Enterprise Server
• Maintains compatibility with existing github.com functionality
• Opens up the tool to enterprise developers who need to generate LLM-friendly code context from private repositories

Thank you for considering this feature request! This would greatly enhance gitingest's utility for enterprise users.

My corp uses an on-prem setup with the url github-ca.corp.company.com. Could the codebase be updated to work with a URL like ours, and preferably any custom URL?
