## Overview
|
|
|
|
Our GitHub integration allows you to create triggers and tasks that interact with GitHub.
|
|
|
|
Trigger jobs when events happen, such as when a new issue is added to a repo, a commit is pushed, or a pull request is opened. You can also use the integration to perform tasks such as creating issues, getting information about a repo, adding comments, and much more.
|
|
|
|
For examples of some of the things you can do with it, check out our Jobs Showcase:

## Authentication
|
|
|
|
GitHub supports Personal Access Tokens and OAuth. You can use either of these to authenticate with GitHub.
|
|
|
|
### Personal Access Token
|
|
|
|
To create a personal access token on GitHub, login and [follow the instructions](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token). Information on the required scopes can be found [here](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/scopes-for-oauth-apps).
|
|
|
|
```ts my-job.ts
|
|
import { GitHub } from "@trigger.dev/github";
|
|
|
|
//create GitHub client using a token
|
|
const github = new GitHub({
|
|
id: "github",
|
|
token: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN!,
|
|
});
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### OAuth
|
|
|
|
To use OAuth you can connect to GitHub via the Trigger.dev [web app](https://cloud.trigger.dev). Click 'Integrations' in the side panel of any project, and configure GitHub with the ID you want to use in your job and the required [scopes](https://docs.github.com/en/apps/oauth-apps/building-oauth-apps/scopes-for-oauth-apps).
|
|
|
|
```ts my-job.ts
|
|
import { GitHub } from "@trigger.dev/github";
|
|
|
|
//create GitHub client using OAuth
|
|
const github = new GitHub({
|
|
id: "github",
|
|
});
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Triggers and Tasks
|
|
|
|
Once you have set up a GitHub client, you can use it to create triggers and tasks.
