GitHub Integration

Create a GitHub App

To configure the GitHub integration you'll need to create a GitHub app and obtain credentials.

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:

SettingValue
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:

PermissionSetting
Repository / AdministrationRead-only
Repository / ContentsRead-only
Organization permissions / members (optional)Read-only
Account permissions / Email addresses (optional)Read-only
Repository / IssuesRead & write
Repository / Pull requestsRead & write
Repository / WebhooksRead & write

When prompted to subscribe to events, choose the following:

  • Pull Request
  • Push

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"

Last, generate and download the private key, and add it to your configuration for your app:

Copied
github-app.private-key: |
  -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
