Is ADF Fabric version compactable with Github Proxima on version control?

[zihanwang]

Hi, I am an internal Microsoft employee. we're evaluating whether to use Data Factory in Microsoft Fabric for a new SQL→Kusto pipeline. We need Git integration with GitHub Enterprise Server (specifically msft.ghe.com, which uses SAML SSO), instead of Azure DevOps repo. Does Fabric Data Factory support GitHub Enterprise Server as a source control backend, similar to how classic ADF does? If so, are there any known limitations compared to classic ADF's GitHub Enterprise Server integration (e.g., PAT authentication, branch management)? Thanks!

Hi @zihanwang,

Fabric Data Factory uses the same Git integration model as the rest of Fabric. From what I know today, Fabric supports Azure Repos, GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise Cloud ghe.com through PAT authentication, but not GitHub Enterprise Server fully self-hosted the same way classic ADF does.

So if your msft.ghe.com instance is actually backed by GitHub Enterprise Cloud with enterprise/data residency settings, you should be able to use it with Fabric. If it’s a fully self-hosted GHES deployment, that scenario doesn’t seem to be officially supported yet.

I’d still recommend doing a quick PoC before committing to the architecture, especially since Fabric Git/ALM capabilities are still evolving compared to classic ADF.

Hope this helps a bit !
