Authentication guide - GitHub

Note: This guide was written before the renaming. Just replace HackMD with CodiMD in your mind 😄 thanks!

  2. Navigate to developer settings in your GitHub account here and select the "OAuth Apps" tab

  3. Click on the New OAuth App button, to create a new OAuth App:
    create-oauth-app

  4. Fill out the new OAuth application registration form, and click Register Application
    register-oauth-application-form

    Note: The callback URL is /auth/github/callback

  5. After successfully registering the application, you'll receive the Client ID and Client Secret for the application
    application-page

  6. Add the Client ID and Client Secret to your config.json file or pass them as environment variables

    • config.json:
      {
        "production": {
          "github": {
              "clientID": "3747d30eaccXXXXXXXXX",
              "clientSecret": "2a8e682948eee0c580XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
          }
        }
      }
