# GitHub App and Authentication
|
|
|
|
DEV allows you to authenticate using GitHub. To use this authentication method
|
|
in local development, you will need to set up a GitHub App and retrieve its
|
|
keys. Then you'll need to provide these keys to the Rails application.
|
|
|
|
1. [Click this link to create a new OAuth application in your Github
|
|
account](https://github.com/settings/applications/new) - you will be
|
|
redirected to sign in to Github account if you have not already.
|
|
|
|
2. Fill in the form with an application name, description, and the URL
|
|
`http://localhost:3000/`. Replace the port `3000` if you run DEV on another
|
|
port.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. You will be redirected to the app's **Developer settings**. Here you will
|
|
find the keys. Change them accordingly (name of GitHub key -> name of our
|
|
`ENV` variable):
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Client ID -> GITHUB_KEY
|
|
Client Secret -> GITHUB_SECRET
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Done.
