To get started sign in to GitHub and go to https://github.com/settings/applications/new to register your application.
Enter the Application Name, Homepage URL and Authorization callback URL. For the callback URL enter http://localhost:3000/github/auth
. Once you are done registering you will be given a Client ID and Client Secret.
Once you have those four items open the server > .env
file and enter:
- Client ID string under
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID
- Client Secret string under
GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET
Also make sure to set:
GITHUB_INTEGRATION_DISABLED
to falseGITHUB_OAUTH_ENABLED
to trueGITHUB_USERNAME
to your twitter username, without the @GITHUB_UPDATE_FREQ_MINUTES
to the number of minutes you want to wait before updating the data.Note
A small number is not always the best and it might make Syte2 slow, use a number close to how often you use github.
Next, restart the server and open the following url http://localhost:3000/github/auth, you will be taken to GitHub's website and will be asked to sign in and authorize your application. After you authorized you will be taken back to Syte2 and you will be given your Access Token. Open the server > .env
file again and enter:
- Access Token Secret under
GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN
Next, restart the server and open the following url http://localhost:3000/github/setup. If everything is setup right, this will fetch some of your recent activity and save them to the database. If you have committed something recently, you should be able to go to http://localhost:3000 and see that activity in your stream and at this point your Github page should be working.
