+## Root Endpoint
 
+You can issue a `GET` request to the root endpoint to get all the endpoint categories that the API supports:
+
+<pre class="terminal">
+$ curl https://api.github.com
+</pre>
+
+Note that for GitHub Enterprise, [as with all other endpoints](https://developer.github.com/v3/enterprise/#endpoint-urls), you'll need to pass in your GitHub Enterprise endpoint as the hostname, *as well as your username and password*:
+
+<pre class="terminal">
+$ curl https://<em>hostname</em>/api/v3/ -u <em>username</em>:<em>password</em>
+</pre>
