To use Personal Access Token for authentication, go to the Developer Settings in your GitHub account and generate a token.

To use OAuth authentication, register a new OAuth application.

Configure the GitHub connector in Search AI.

Provide the following fields for authentication with the GitHub application.

  1. Name: Unique identifier for the connector.
  2. Authorization Type: Select the type of authorization.
    1. Personal Access Token: If this auth type is selected, provide the generated token.
    2. OAuth 2.0: If this auth type is selected, provide the client credentials and the refresh token.

There are a few other fields that are used to map the content from the GitHub repositories. Currently, Search AI supports standard fields only, hence, it is not mandatory to provide those fields.
