To connect to GitHub social login, you need:

# Create a GitHub OAuth application

Field Value
Authorization callback URL https://core.authing.cn/connection/social/github/<YOUR_USERPOOL_ID>/callback

Replace <YOUR_USERPOOL_ID> with your user pool ID.

# Configure the GitHub social login application in the Authing console

Find the GitHub application in the Authing console（connect identity source - social login）and fill in the configuration of the GitHub OAuth application:

  • Client ID
  • Client Secret
  • Callback URL：This is your business callback domain name, which is different from the callback link configured in the social login application.For example, your website domain name is https://example.com, and the url for processing Authing callback requests is /auth/callback, then you should fill in as https://example.com/auth/callback. If you need to configure the callback link separately in the application, the address here can be filled in: #.
  • Scopes(Optional): By default, Authing will only request authorization from users for basic user information (such as avatar, nickname, email, etc.). If you need more advanced permissions, you can check the corresponding options. For details, please refer to Configure Login Authorization Scopes.

After configuration, please click "OK" to save the information.
