Credentials Setup
Follow the steps below to get the credentials you need to use the GitHub connector. If you need to find your GitHub Access Token, you have come to the right place. The first thing you need to do is log in to GitHub.
Now that you are logged in to GitHub, go click on your profile in the top right corner of the page.
From the resulting drop down, select the Settings option.
This is your settings page. On the right hand side, near the bottom of the page, you should see an option to head to the Developer Settings section of your account. Go ahead and do that.
You will now be on this page. Once again, one the left hand side you have a few options. You should select the Personal access tokens tab.
Next, you should click the Generate new token button in the top right hand corner.
In the Note section write “hotglue.”
For the Expiration of your token, you can put whatever you like, as long as you remember to generate a new token and put it in hotglue whenever your old token expires. For this examples sake, I will be setting mine to No expiration.
For the Scopes, make sure you enable the necessary scopes for hotglue to grab data from GitHub. If you need help figuring out what scopes you should enable, you can chat with us using our live chat feature in hotglue or shoot us an email at support@hotglue.xyz.
Once you have everything configured, go ahead and click the Generate token button.
You have now created your Personal access token! Make sure to copy it into a safe place as well as copy it into hotglue. Once you do that, you are all set!
