Body

I have created a dedicated GitHub EU account with the following URL: https://enterprise-test-eu1.ghe.com/ Additionally, I have published a GitHub App that is available in the GitHub Marketplace: https://github.com/marketplace/<app_name>

My question is: Can this GitHub App be installed within my EU account?

Short answer: no, not directly. The app registered on github.com can't be installed on a ghe.com tenant.

Enterprise Cloud with data residency (ghe.com) runs as a fully isolated tenant from github.com. Different host, different user identity backing, different Marketplace. Apps registered on github.com live on that host and don't cross over.

To make your app installable on enterprise-test-eu1.ghe.com, you need to register it again inside that tenant:

1. Sign in at https://enterprise-test-eu1.ghe.com
2. Go to your org (or user) Settings > Developer settings > GitHub Apps
3. Create a new GitHub App with the same permissions and webhook config

You'll end up with a separate App ID, client ID, and private key scoped to that tenant. If your backend listens to webhooks or makes API calls, you'll need to:

• Point API calls at https://api.enterprise-test-eu1.ghe.com for that tenant
• Keep credentials keyed by host, so the same backend can handle installations from both github.com and ghe.com without mixing up tokens

One gotcha, the Marketplace listing on github.com doesn't propagate to ghe.com tenants. Customers on ghe.com won't find your app by browsing the Marketplace there, they install it by going directly to the app's install URL on their tenant. If you're building for both audiences, you end up maintaining two parallel app registrations.

If you're doing this for a customer with a specific ghe.com enterprise, the cleanest setup is a shared codebase with a config layer that picks the right App credentials based on the installation host.
