GitHub Integration
Create a GitHub App
To configure the GitHub integration you'll need to create a GitHub app and obtain credentials.
The GitHub Org Slug must not contain any spaces.
Start by following GitHub's official guide on creating a GitHub App.
If the form above does not work for you, you need the following settings for your GitHub Application. You'll need to come up with your own webhook secret:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Homepage URL | ${url-prefix} |
| User authorization callback URL | ${url-prefix}/auth/sso/ |
| Setup URL (optional) | ${url-prefix}/extensions/github/setup/ |
| Webhook URL | ${url-prefix}/extensions/github/webhook/ |
| Webhook secret | "my-super-secret-example-secret" |
When prompted for permissions, choose the following:
| Permission | Setting |
|---|---|
| Repository / Administration | Read-only |
| Repository / Contents | Read-only |
| Organization permissions / members (optional) | Read-only |
| Account permissions / Email addresses (optional) | Read-only |
| Repository / Issues | Read & write |
| Repository / Pull requests | Read & write |
| Repository / Webhooks | Read & write |
When prompted to subscribe to events, choose the following:
- Pull Request
- Push

Enabling optional permissions will also enable the GitHub SSO for your instance.
You'll be given various credentials, configure them in config.yml:
Copied
# App ID
github-app.id: GITHUB_APP_ID
# App Name
github-app.name: "GITHUB_APP_NAME"
# Client ID
github-app.client-id: "GITHUB_CLIENT_ID"
# Client Secret
github-app.client-secret: "GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET"
# Webhook Secret
github-app.webhook-secret: "my-super-secret-example-secret"Invalid Application Name
If you're receiving invalid application or application not found error, it's suggested to change the `github-app.name` to the correct application slug. This can occur if the application includes non-alphanumeric characters.
Last, generate and download the private key, and add it to your configuration for your app:
Copied
github-app.private-key: |
