GitHub Auth

First, you'll need to create a GitHub OAuth app for your organisation.

Creating a GitHub OAuth app

From GitHub, click on your profile picture and chose "Settings":

Step 1

Then "Developer settings" from the left-hand menu:

Step 2

Then "OAuth Apps":

Step 3

And create a new OAuth app:

Step 4

Give it a name, and a homepage URL. The authorization callback is the important bit. It needs to be in this form:

[your-nx-cloud-url]/auth-callback

# for example
https://my.nx-enterprise.url:8080/auth-callback

Step 5

Once you create, keep a note of the Client ID:

Step 6

And then generate a new client secret, and save it somewhere secure (we'll use it in a bit):

Step 7

Contact your developer productivity engineer to connect your Nx Cloud instance to the newly created GitHub OAuth app.
