Follow the steps below to configure your Iguana X Git settings with GitHub.

In Iguana X, go to Settings > Git. For each step, click on the Screen Shot 2024-04-16 at 11.01.45 AM.png button to set your configurations.

 STEP 1: Author Info - Enter a name and email to be used to label your commits

Git requires a name and email to label your commits. We recommend you use an email address recognized by your GitHub so you can trace your commits in it.

We also use this Author Info to help Identify your Iguana so if you have problems we can help you!

 STEP 2: Cloud Service - Choose GitHub

Select GitHub from the dropdown.

 STEP 3: Cloud Token - In GitHub, generate a personal access token for Iguana to authenticate

Iguana X needs to have the ability to create Git repositories on GitHub. This means we need to create an access token with the correct permissions. Iguana will use the token to authenticate with GitHub.

  • Copy the generated GitHub access token and paste it in your Iguana X Git Cloud Token setting. GitHub will only show you this once - if you forget it you will need to generate a fresh one.

 STEP 4: Key Pair SSH - Generate a public-private key pair for SSH authentication

In Key Pair SSH, use the Generate button to have Iguana generate a private key pair for you. For more information on SSH see: How does Iguana X use SSH?
