How to enable GitHub.com OAuth

GitHub.com OAuth allows you to set up GitHub authentication, which takes precedence over configuration mappings, removing the need to individually map GitHub configurations

1. To begin, setup a Github configuration

   

   A guide to setting up GitHub configurations can be found here: How to set up GitHub or GitLab integration?

2. Go to the Settings tab and expand the Supported Git systems section

   

3. Under Supported Git systems, choose Github, then Enable GitHub.com oAuth

   

4. Enter the GitHub Client ID, GitHub secret and GitHub redirect URI

   

   A guide on creating an OAuth app can be found here: https://docs.github.com/en/apps/oauth-apps/building-oauth-apps/creating-an-oauth-app

5. Don’t forget to Save settings

   

6. Next, from the same Settings section go to the Jigit Development section

   

7. Under User PAT usage in development panel, a user token must be available, so choose one of the following 3 options:

   1. Use user token if set

      

   2. User token is required for actions

      

   3. User token is required

      

      Save your settings once again.

8. From the top right, select the profile icon, then go to Profile

   

9. Scroll down and select the Jigit configuration mappings tab, then click Connect to GitHub.com

   

10. Authorize the OAuth app to access the account

    

    
    If you wish to wish to subsequently remove Oauth, go back to Jigit configuration mappings section from your Profile and click Disconnect from GitHub.com
