## GitHub Configuration
|
|
|
|
### Register a new application
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new OAuth application
|
|
- For **GitHub** browse to the [Register a new OAuth application](https://github.com/settings/applications/new). You can find this link withing [Settings](https://github.com/settings/profile) - [Developer Settings](https://github.com/settings/apps) - - [OAuth Apps](https://github.com/settings/developers).
|
|
- For **GitHub Enterprise** go to your GitHub Enterprise home page and then to Settings - Developer Settings - OAuth Apps - Register a new application/New OAuth App
|
|
2. Fill in the application name and homepage URL.
|
|
3. [Paste the ZITADEL Callback URL you copied before](#open-the-github-identity-provider-template) to the Authorization callback URL field.
|
|
4. Click "Register application".
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Client ID and secret
|
|
|
|
After clicking "Register application", you see the detail page of the application you have just created.
|
|
Copy the client ID directly from the detail page.
|
|
Generate a new secret by clicking "Generate new client secret".
|
|
Make sure to save the secret, as you will not be able to show it again.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## ZITADEL Setup
|
|
|
|
Go back [to the GitHub provider template you opened before in ZITADEL](#open-the-github-identity-provider-template).
|
|
Add the [client ID and secret you created before when you registered your GitHub OAuth application](#client-id-and-secret).
|
|
|
|
You can optionally configure the following settings.
|
|
A useful default will be filled if you don't change anything.
|
|
|
|
**Scopes**: The scopes define which scopes will be sent to the provider, `openid`, `profile`, and `email` are prefilled.
|
|
This information is used to create and/or update the user within ZITADEL.
|
|
ZITADEL ensures that at least the `openid`-scope is always sent.
