Infisical supports two methods for connecting to GitHub.
|
|
|
|
<Tabs>
|
|
<Tab title="GitHub App (Recommended)">
|
|
Infisical will use a GitHub App with finely grained permissions to connect to GitHub.
|
|
|
|
<Accordion title="Self-Hosted Instance">
|
|
Using the GitHub integration with app authentication on a self-hosted instance of Infisical requires configuring an application on GitHub
|
|
and registering your instance with it.
|
|
|
|
<Steps>
|
|
<Step title="Create an application on GitHub">
|
|
Navigate to the GitHub app settings [here](https://github.com/settings/apps). Click **New GitHub App**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Give the application a name, a homepage URL (your self-hosted domain i.e. `https://your-domain.com`), and a callback URL (i.e. `https://your-domain.com/organization/app-connections/github/oauth/callback`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enable request user authorization during app installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Disable webhook by unchecking the Active checkbox.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set the repository permissions as follows: Metadata: Read-only, Secrets: Read and write, Environments: Read and write, Actions: Read.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Similarly, set the organization permissions as follows: Secrets: Read and write.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create the Github application.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
If you have a GitHub organization, you can create an application under it
|
|
in your organization Settings > Developer settings > GitHub Apps > New GitHub App.
|
|
</Note>
|
|
</Step>
|
|
<Step title="Add your application credentials to Infisical">
|
|
Generate a new **Client Secret** for your GitHub application.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Generate a new **Private Key** for your Github application.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Obtain the necessary Github application credentials. This would be the application slug, client ID, app ID, client secret, and private key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Back in your Infisical instance, add the five new environment variables for the credentials of your GitHub application:
|
|
|
|
- `INF_APP_CONNECTION_GITHUB_APP_CLIENT_ID`: The **Client ID** of your GitHub application.
|
|
- `INF_APP_CONNECTION_GITHUB_APP_CLIENT_SECRET`: The **Client Secret** of your GitHub application.
|
|
- `INF_APP_CONNECTION_GITHUB_APP_SLUG`: The **Slug** of your GitHub application. This is the one found in the URL.
|
|
- `INF_APP_CONNECTION_GITHUB_APP_ID`: The **App ID** of your GitHub application.
|
|
- `INF_APP_CONNECTION_GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY`: The **Private Key** of your GitHub application.
|
|
|
|
Once added, restart your Infisical instance and use the GitHub integration via app authentication.
