You can use the GitHub connector from the CData Sync application to capture data from GitHub and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

Add the GitHub Connector

To enable Sync to use data from GitHub, you first must add the connector, as follows:

1. Open the Connections page of the Sync dashboard.

2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

3. Click the Sources tab and locate the GitHub row.

4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the GitHub connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections.

Authenticate to GitHub

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

On the New Connection page, enter the connection name of your choice.

Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. (Optional) For Owner Login, enter the name of the user or organization whose repository and projects you plan to query. If you do not explicitly specify an owner login name, Sync uses the currently authenticated user.

2. Click Connect to GitHub to connect to your GitHub account.

3. Define advanced connection settings on the Advanced tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)

4. Click Create & Test to create your connection.
