How to integrate my GitHub account?

Overview​

To authenticate, you need:

  • Personal Access Token (PAT)

Step 1: Generate Personal Access Token​

  1. Login to GitHub – Navigate to GitHub.com and sign in to your account
  2. Access Settings – Click your profile photo in the upper-right corner, then select Settings from the dropdown menu
  3. Navigate to Developer Settings – In the left sidebar, scroll down and click Developer settings
  4. Access Personal Access Tokens – In the left sidebar, under Personal access tokens, click Tokens (classic). For enhanced security, you can also use Fine-grained tokens (beta)
  5. Generate New Token – Click Generate new token, then select Generate new token (classic)
  6. Configure Token Settings:
    • Note: Enter a descriptive name (e.g., "Project Integration API")
    • Expiration: Choose an appropriate expiration period. For security, avoid "No expiration". Recommended: 90 days or less
  7. Select Required Scopes:
    • repo – Full repository access
    • admin:repo_hook – Repository webhook management
    • admin:org_hook – Organization webhook management
    • read:user – Read user profile data
    • user:email – Access user email addresses
  8. Generate and Save Token – Click Generate token. Copy the token immediately – it won't be shown again. Store it securely.
