Integrating GitHub Social Connection with Corbado

​

Overview

Integrate GitHub social connections into your application using Corbado by setting up the Client ID and Client Secret in your instance settings.

Corbado simplifies the development process by providing pre-configured OAuth credentials and redirect URIs for development environments, meaning no additional configuration is necessary.

For production environments, you’ll need to create your own Client ID and Client Secret through your GitHub account.

This guide will assist you in creating a GitHub account and setting up a GitHub OAuth app. For detailed steps on integrating OAuth using Corbado, please refer to the Social Connection (OAuth) guide.

​

Prerequisites

• Create a Corbado Application: Access your Corbado developer panel to create an application. More details are available in the Set up your application guide.
• GitHub Account: You must have a GitHub account. Create one here.

Configuring GitHub Social Connection

​

Registering a GitHub OAuth App

1. In the Corbado developer panel, navigate to Settings > User Interface > Social. Activate the GitHub option and ensure “Use custom credentials” is selected. Copy the Authorized Redirect URI for later use.
2. Visit the GitHub panel and create a new OAuth application. Enter the copied URI into the Authorization Callback URL field, and complete the app registration.
3. In the newly created GitHub OAuth app, click Generate a New Client Secret.
4. Copy the provided Client ID and Client Secret and paste both to the GitHub settings page in Corbado’s developer panel.

Remember to click Apply in the Corbado developer panel to finalize the setup.

Congratulations, your instance is now configured for social connections with GitHub!
