Setting up Github OAuth

In order to use the "Login with Github" feature, you need to set up Github OAuth:

• Go to settings.py
  • Set GITHUB_AUTH to True
  • Set GITHUB_AUTH_CALLBACK to "http://frontendurl/github_confirm" (if you want to set it up locally, your frontend URL will most likely be "localhost:9000")
• Go to your Github OAuth Apps and create a new OAuth application by clicking on "New OAuth App"
  • Enter the name of your application
  • Enter the URL of your homepage
  • Enter the authorization callback URL (which should be the same as the value you set GITHUB_AUTH_CALLBACK to)
  • Do not enable "Device Flow"
  • Write down the client ID
  • Generate a new client secret by clicking the button
  • Write down the generated client secret
• Start the backend and navigate to the admin panel at http://backendurl/admin (locally your backend URL will most likely be "localhost:8000")
  • Log in
  • Navigate to "Social Applications" and click "Add Social Application"
    • Select Github as the provider
    • Enter the name of your application
    • Enter the client ID you wrote down
    • Enter the client secret you wrote down under "Secret key"
    • You do not need to enter anything under "Key"
