GitHub Authentication

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 - 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.

    github-1

  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):

    Client ID -> GITHUB_KEY
Client Secret -> GITHUB_SECRET

    github-2

  4. Done.
