Full Explanation
The ghe-config utility is the primary command-line tool for managing GitHub Enterprise Server from the administrative shell (accessed via SSH on port 122). It allows administrators to view current configuration values, set configuration parameters, and manage various GHES settings. Commands follow the pattern 'ghe-config <section>.<key> <value>'. Other important GHES CLI tools include ghe-backup for backups, ghe-restore for restores, and ghe-repl-status for checking HA replication. The utilities 'github-admin', 'ghes-manage', and 'enterprise-ctl' do not exist in GHES.
