GitHub importer doc improvements for GitHub Enterprise customers

    • Closed Issue created by Luke Duncalfe @.luke

    Problem

    Our GitHub importer docs appear to have incorrect guidance for GitHub Enterprise customers.

    We say GH Enterprise -> SaaS:

    If you are importing from GitHub Enterprise to GitLab.com, use the GitLab Import API GitHub endpoint instead.

    and for GH Enterprise -> SM:

    If you are importing from GitHub Enterprise to a self-managed GitLab instance: - You must first enable the GitHub integration [...]

    When there are no such limitations.

    Proposal

    Update the docs to reflect:

    Auth type Trigger via API Trigger via UI
    (using Personal Access Token field)    		 Trigger via UI
    (via Authenticate with GitHub button)    		 Available SaaS? Available SM? Notes
    PAT :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: GH always rate limits tokens at 5k req/h
    OAuth (using GitHub integration) :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: Needs to be configured If org that owns OAuth app is part of GH Enterprise then GH rate limit will be higher 15k req/h mentioned in our docs here (this benefit yet available on SaaS but #432970 (closed) will hopefully change that). Otherwise, rate limit will be same as PAT
