Setting up Github

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 false
  • GITHUB_OAUTH_ENABLED to true
  • GITHUB_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.
